Been sellig off some of my guns and stuff

It don't look bad at all in this kinda blurry photo...



Fella on another forum was talking about a scope for a 22. Aint nothing special, just a 3x9 Bushnell with adjustable objective (this may be the only scope I own on a rifle that cost less than the scope). So I ordered one and when it got to the house and installed I find that the bolt can not come out for cleaning.. so I order some taller mounts BUT I know the cheek weld wont be right so I order a Blackhawk cheek rest. The rifle was picked up in a pawn shop for less than $100 with a couple issues that I solved with an order from numrich gun parts. I need to refinish the stock and try free floating the barrel and bedding the action.

I had one of those. I taught my son to shoot with it. I instilled in him "One shot, One k hit" They were well made.
Does it shoot shorts, longs and long rifles?

WOW! I found it! This is my very first firearm. It's a Rem. mod. 341 tube feed made in 1936 (before I was born). It shot shorts, longs, and L.Rs. My dad bought it for me when I was 8 yrs. old. (Those were the days of trust). It was one of those natural killers on woodchucks, running jack rabbits, and such.
It was my first attempt at customizing when I was about 12 yrs. old. My dad wasn't happy.
We just figured out that I haven't shot it in 30 yrs.
I just tried shooting it. The front sight is so thin that I can't focus on it. Need to check into F.O.s at the right height.

What did you try to customize at the tender age of 12 or there abouts? She's a beauty and deserves a special place on the wall or in the toy box.

First I tried to refinish the stock. I sanded it down, but I didn't know enough to leave the butt plate on. So I rounded off the butt of the stock smaller than the butt plate.
Next I installed the Williams receiver sight. I cut away the wood with a chisel and sandpaper (learned how in school wood working shop). So much for the stock refinish. The shop teacher was nice enough to drill and tap the receiver. Can't do that any more. Then we found out that the original front sight was to short, so my dad had to take it to someone to have a taller front sight installed.
After all that my father hid the rifle from me.
This sucker is long. It has a 24" long barrel

[Bawanna]

I've seen full grown men do that. Can't fault you none.

My x step brother who my father insisted I loan a prime Winchester 30-30 to thought he'd be nice and put a front sling swivel on it. He drilled the forearm, all of what a 1/4" before he hit the magazine tube. Walked the drill from here to NY and back as he couldn't figure out why it wouldn't drill.

Had to do a little patch job on that and add a proper mount to the tube sling swivel. He was probably 35 at the time.

I must be a hoarder too. Never sold a gun yet.

I know the feeling - same here.

I got every one of my guns for a reason, and while I like and use some much more than others, I've never purchased one that I felt I could part with.

Unless a person is very lucky or clever, every time you buy or sell something you are giving up money, whether to a middleman, depreciation, or both. Especially true of houses and cars, but guns aren't much different.

Oh yes it shoots em all. Before the nice officer told me not to shoot in the yard anymore my son and I would step out back and have us a shootin contest. We liked it so much I picked up a Marlin 15yn when it came available on a forum swap n sell. The YN wears the same scope but has no added cheek rest.

Also pulled this out of the wardrobe recently. The kingdom of Narnia can't be much further away.
Before moving out to the country we would shoot this in the back yard, it really is a 100 yd air rifle. It was like keeping a great dane in a studio apartment in the middle of the city.
I tried shooting it but it hurts to cock it. I had a shoulder replacement recently and there's certain things I can't do.
Well anyway it's a .20 cal Beeman R 10 made by the original Beeman company back in 1991. I chronoed it at 960 fps and I would shoot it at a 10" steel plate out at 100 yds
It's on it's way to IL. as I write

Wow! I asked a price question about my Kimber on a rimfire forum and I've gotten 13 offers to buy it. But no body's told me what I should ask for it. I don't know if I really want to sell it. If I do I think I need to look at a Ruger 77-22. Any thoughts on the Ruger?

[tv_racin_fan]

Why would you look at the Ruger? IF I was going to have a high end 22 rifle and had that Kimber I think I would just call it good.

Otherwise I suppose there is nothing wrong with the Ruger (I got no experience with any Ruger rifle so...).

Now were I in the market for a good 22 rifle I think I would be lookin to purchase a CZ. Perhaps the 453 Varmint tho the 455 varmint might be the way to go.

LOL, since I am one of the folks offering to buy, I have thoughts on the price you should ask. But, I can't say I'm objective.

[Bawanna]

Ditto that. I was #2 on the buy list behind that wicked quick alfonse.

I agree with tv, the Ruger won't do anything that Kimber won't do and probably not as good in some areas. And I'm a Ruger fan.

Good morning!
I decided to wake-up my neighbors this morning by shooting the old Rem. I posted about. While loading the tube mag I remembered that it held 15 rnds. of L.R. and more of shorts and longs.
So is this kind of rifle outlawed in states like NY, NJ, CA that have 10 rnd capacity limits?

As far as looking at a Ruger 77-22. I'm thinking more for something that won't bother me if it gets dinged. I'm getting more clumsier with each passing day, and to me guns are made to be used hard and then put away wet. I'm sure a Ruger is more accurate than I can hold it. I already scratched more of the muzzle end of the Rem. by leaning it against the brick fire place. My guns are only safe when they are in the safe. Right now my family room has 2 dedicated .22 AR15s, 1 Mech-Tech conversion carbine, a PM9, a G17, and the Rem. laying around. They're all vulnerable.

I finally took a pic of my Winchester 52C from when I got confused about the 54 awhile back.











A lot of barrel and a ton of weight for a 22 but I love it and the dear friend that bequethed it to me.

[Bawanna]

While I was in 22 mode I took some shots of my Mossberg 42MB military trainer. We used these and sent a ton of them to Britain for their training. They marked them and put different sights on them. So they have both our military markings and theirs. That is the version I have. Found it at a gun show a few years ago.

It's a tack driver and surprisingly very light. Been trying to find a dust cover for it ever since. Only thing missing.
My son picked up the commercial version which is tube fed rather than clip. It has a prime dust cover but I'm sure he'd miss it since he knows I been looking.

[Alfonse]

For a good shooter that you don't mind banging around, it is hard to beat the Savage bolt .22s. They are incredibly accurate, come in wood or composite stocks, and don't cost much $. The versions with their "accutrigger" are particularly nice. Those CZs look nice too, but cost more. They won't do anything your Kimber won't do, but you might feel better about banging them around.

Might advice like that might be worth a $.02 discount? Bawanna looks to be flush in wonderful .22s already, and I don't think he'll sell me any...
