I haven't been to the range in ages, and this is a big part of the reason why. They shut down for a while after covid hit and I guess I just dropped the habit. And now when I think of going, I...

Not quite...

The fact it is so poorly written tells me that was written by a Tottenham supporter. :rofl2:

As a Gooner, I can't let a mention of the Woolwich Arsenal pass without a :tu (that's another one for you to look up Tom :) )

Also, whenever I think of barrels built in that way, I can't help but...

Of all the troll-like behaviour online these days, a simple statement about ammunition that was nothing more than an expression of opinion ranks pretty low on the trollometer.

:shrug:

Another good reason for neutrality!

I've had my eye on the 1911 45acp to .22lr conversion kits that are available for a while now. It seems whenever I remember to check on them, everyone's sold out. Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah, lots of Russian ones up here, but also Norincos and Yugoslavians. I suspect there are others around too, but I think those are the most common.

I've bought it from the 50s, 60s, 70s, from Russia, China, Yugoslavia. Would like to find some Czech as it tends to come loaded on stripper clips. By the sound of it, 39 surplus must be way more...

I can only speak to my experience with a grand total of one SKS. :) I do know that like other Soviet rifles, they were made in a bunch of arsenals in a bunch of countries, so my understanding is...

The mil surp ammo situation ain't what it used to be even five years ago. Then .303 surplus was already really scarce, but eastern bloc surplus was incredibly cheap. I really don't get to the range...

Sure did. :tu Great video, but sad to see what happened to the rifle. But if I recall correctly, the rifle was pretty much toast to start with.

The story of the rifle's development and adoption...

I've long wanted another contender for the most maligned military rifle: the Ross. It has a reputation for kind of blowing up in one's face, but that only applied to one model and as long as you...

What's your go-to .22lr ammo of choice?

Generally speaking, I just go plinking at the range for fun and so usually just get the bulk Winchester stuff. I have a Rem 597 and it operates it as well...

Just thought it might be time for a friendly reminder, particularly for any who may have missed the period during which the decision was taken, that threads/discussions regarding gun control are in...

I have been thinking about getting a .22 conversion for my 1911 and hadn't heard of the Nelson version. Any advantage to this one over the GSG? The GSG is waaay cheaper so I'm pretty sure that's the...

You do that too, eh?

:rofl2:

Honestly I've not been to the range in so long it would take a miracle to do very well at all.

When I got my 1911, I resigned myself to the inevitability of the idiot scratch, and decided just not to worry about it. So far: no scratch. Maybe that's the secret? :rofl2:

It's important to practice safe flintlocking. :)

Me! :)

I opted for a Remington 597 instead. Just fit me better. But yeah, if I had any intention to customize it, I would have gone for a 10/22.

So, best not to mention my Norinco then? :rofl2:
