Thanks guys. I already ordered extended mag release, VQ slide stop, recoil buffer pin, VQ bolt operating rod and spring, and more Ruger mags. Other than that I think I'm going to keep it as is. This rifle is fun to shoot and to tinker with. What is that finish on the receiver anyway? It comes off un...

I went with Ruger 10/22 SS All Weather rifle. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/images/Products/109L.jpg I shot 350 rounds of Federal Classic Hi Vel. I had no FTF or FTE. I put a Simmons 42mm red dot on it. The rifle is so much fun, I had more fun with this rifle than with rifles costing 3 to 4...

Thanks again Bullseye. The trigger on the gun is very good now as it was worked on by a competent gunsmith. The main reason I want to do this is because I like to strip the gun often for cleaning and this would simplify things. Another question; Brownells sells a frame slot filler but I heard that t...

Question about removing Colt Series 80 safety

When removing Colt Series 80 safety parts why does the frame slot needs to be filled or does it? I know this forum is mostly dedicated to Ruger .22 pistols but there is a lot of knowledge here. BTW I would like to remove the series 80 safety on my range gun. I'm stuck with carrying Glocks until I re...

Need advice on first .22 rifle.

I've been shooting for years but I never had a .22 rifle. I just got a .22 Ruger MKIII and I love it. I want to get a .22 rifle next for informal target shooting and informal shooting at steel plates at 50 and 25 yards. I'm leaning towards Ruger 10/22. But which model should I get: the target model ...

Thanks again Bullseye. Thanks to your great web site I had absolutely no problem disassembling and reassembling the gun and I do it every time I shoot the gun. I spray the whole thing down with WD40. WD40 is not a good lubricant and or preservative but it's a good cleaner. I tried CCI standard vel. ...

I don't want to start a political discussion here but Walmart wanted to put up stores in my area and they were denied by local politicians who are in the pocket of local unions. But anyway, Midway is out of stock on Fed Automatch.

I will never shoot that crapy Zapper ammo again in my Ruger. There are no Walmarts where I live thanks to certain demoncats senators.

Thank you Bullseye

First of all I want to thank Bullseye for the fantastic free information he provides to everyone. I went looking for my first .22 and I ended up with the Ruger MarkIII with a 6 and 7/8 inch fluted barrel Hunter model. On the first day I shot about 300 rounds of CCI minimags, Fed. American Eagle JHP ...
