Nice sticks RB!

I like the short LOP stock myself. All you need is a light on that and looks GTG for HD.

And 10/22's are fun as hell!

Interesting vid on how the Aussie gun ban has worked out. This is the program Hillary says America needs.

And don't think for a second Bernie S is "pro-gun", a key aspect of socialism is NO GUNS for the law abiding masses.

Criminals LOVE gun ban/control/restriction laws, it gives them a safer work environment!!!

Well the 10/22 sure is a fun little rifle - can't wait to get a Hogue stock on it as well, I absolutely love it on the Mossberg - I thought about getting the .920 Bull Barrel combo from Tactical Solutions but @ $330 for the barrel w/ fiber optic sight, and the Hogue Takedown stock, it would be basically more for that than the actual gun!

I think I'll be happy with just this -

(mine has the black polymer trigger group and mag release but I do have the stainless receiver and barrel) - Ruger does sell a nice 2-3lb BX trigger group which just drops in that I would consider.


I like the stock bolt (as of 2015 new design with Ruger engraved on it), but both it and the inside of the receiver could probably use a bit of polishing to smooth the action a bit, I may get a Kidd or JVH Custom stainless and slightly extended charging handle for a bit of "bling" - Already installed the Kidd auto bolt release, stupid Ruger factory design, now I just cock back and release the slide and it will pop forward and chamber. Tons of little parts that are nice to pick up, Kidd stainless mag plunger, the charging handle mentioned above, a bolt buffer, etc.

Little bit of time with the Dremel and some metal polish should definitely smooth up the inside of the receiver and the bolt, I know it will happen over time with some rounds through it but I always strip, clean, and oil all my new guns before first trip to the range.

Have some BX15 round mags in the mail from CTD arriving, thanks to the Peoples Republic of NJ we have a cap on 15 rds, and already have 2 BX1 10 round rotary mags that the rifle came with from the factory.

Altogether, a really sweet rifle with a ton of capability for sure. The wife is gonna love shooting this one!

That Ruger 10/22 is a fun gun to shoot, nice.

Are you putting a scope on it?

Yeah I am going to try to take some pictures later of the Ruger - Ordered Tony Kidd's Magazine release (anodized - has normal length and extended length under the handle lever), stainless magazine plunger and spring, bolt buffer, and Charging handle assembly with guide rod and 3 different recoil springs. Now I just need the Hogue Takedown stock and I'll be done with the Ruger modifications for now. They weren't kidding when they said there are a ton of mods you can do to it!

My wifes grandfather had a scope in the house which he gave us for the Ruger and it came with a rail on top of the receiver for it, I need to look up what type it is, it might not be the greatest but it should work out fine for some target practice if we go up to the woods in PA. He is a wild man at 90 years old, sharp as a tack and has tons of cool gear in his attic.

He also found a Beretta pistol that he had in his attic thats probably 30 years old - wife is going to take ownership once her PPP's and FID are issued (made more sense for her to get hers as well so she can buy me ammo for Christmas and birthday, gun accessories, etc, and I used my 2 permits issued in 2014 for my two Taurus handguns), but he literally had it sitting in a leather and wool lined pounch for God knows how many years, I can't even find what model it is but its a semi-auto that looks similar to a 1911, shoots .22LR, and has a mag release in the middle of the grip on the left side - Its an awesome looking gun and definitely looks classic.

I'll do some more research later and get some pics up, but I'm really excited to strip and clean it out!

TiAg your armory probably puts mine to shame, but I am working as hard as I can to build up my supply of freedom over here! Just imagine if we could buy non-neutered rifles in NJ the freedom we'd have.

Beretta made the M71 Jaguar (22LR) years ago.

That might be what you have. If it still has the original grips, the word "jaguar" should be on them if that's what it is.

Not much of a collection here.

Sold the Beretta 92FS (nice clean gun) got near purchase price from a range friend.

Browning Model 81 BLR in .243 (over 30 yrs old, still in box, never fired).

Charter Arms .38 special Undercover revolver (BUG/vehicle firearm, Combat Pro Pachmeyer grips, also 30 yrs old, looks new, fired over 1000 rounds).

Sig Sauer P227 .45 ACP (my daily carry, over 2000 rounds and still tight like new).

Want the SS D Eagle 50 AE, still crazy money (almost $2000).

Shot a Walther PPQ .45 ACP at the range last month (neighbors new gun). Sweet piece for the money. If the DE never comes down, I may pick up the Walther and retire the Sig to the safe!

The Browning M81 243 Win is from a different era.

Early '80s, Firestone Tire had a buy 4 tires and you're entered to win this gun, I won!

Haven't opened this box in over 20 yrs......

^^OH MY GOD - I ALWAYS WANTED A CLASSIC BROWNING LEVER ACTION - I thought about getting one in 12 Gauge but on CTD they are still around $1000

The DE .50 is always going to be crazy money, sigh. Prob won't be able to afford it for years. Since I already have a revolver shooting .357 I did notice if one were to get the .357 Desert Eagle its an "afforable" $1400 + shipping and FFL fees.

If you ever decide to sell the Browning let me know - although I probably never would if I were you, wow that is an awesome contest

Oh and the Beretta is a Model 102 - Same gun as the Model 76 and I don't know all the history of it but from what I'm reading they switched using the Series 70 numbers in the mid sixties or so and made them as Model 100,101,102 until sometime in the 70's? I don't have exact years, but from what I can tell its not a pistol you see every day. Is in good shape too, I will have to upload some pics from Tapatalk so they can resize it for the forum.

This is exactly what I have, and besides needing a good clean/lube with some Ballistol, I'm floored! Its like owning a classic Ferrari of firearms for me. Beretta's tolerances are TIGHT, amazed at how tight the gun felt and the slide still racked ultra smooth.



And I also scoured Ebay yesterday since I can't find them for sale through Beretta or most other places, found factory original new in box Walnut grips which are target grips and come in a shooting hand specific version (thumbrest on your non trigger finger side) - I shoot lefty so this was a sweet score! Never saw a need to buy lefty specific weapons but this will be nice and really dress up a period specific pistol! I'll have to dig some more to see when it was made if I can look it up by serial number somewhere.

Yeah, that Beretta is a rare piece.

Nice find on the lefty target grips.

Beretta has the best slide action in the business IMHO, I've handled 92s that have fired over 5000 rounds, and the feel is like 100 ball bearings riding in gear lubed races, no play and tight.

I'm glad I never fired the Browning, being a classic, NIB with unused period case, I would expect to see over double value vs a clean/fired BLR in 243 Winchester. This gun in never fired/NIB condition is almost NEVER seen, people who bought these mounted a scope, and went out for deer.

Been following this old timers (Hickok45) gun reviews for years. Like how he says he doesn't like the Walther PPQ M2 45ACP because he almost never misses targets........
