My CMP purchased M44 is very accurate. I'll bet yours is too. It'll be interesting to see the results of your range trip.

Korths are a beautiful revolver. A friend in England had one in .357 that I shot and it was impressive. However, the cylinder only holds 5 rounds in .357 and that left him out of many competition...

England, 1986. I was shooting at the Viking Pistol Club near Wickham Market, Suffolk, with my Erma ESP-85 target pistol from the shooting shed at 20 yard bullseye pistol targets when I noticed a grey...

Yep, that's pretty much the same story lots of people posted at the time. They didn't send me a case but they did replace the bad boxes of cartridges I had bought. The AM-22 is one of the better...

The Winchester Wildcat is an accurate rifle and is even better with an adjustable trigger. I took the trigger assembly off of a TOZ and replaced the Wildcat trigger group. Now I have a Wildcat the...

Federal had a bad lot of AM-22 cartridges maybe 5 years ago or so and they made good on them.

Three things I can think of off the top of my head are: the trigger group, a bolt that needs to be smoothed and too strong a recoil spring.
Check the trigger group to see if there is unusual...

That one cost me $385 OTD at auction two years ago. I just got a 1st Series Target model (std vel. only) made in 1928 for $395 two weeks ago. The one below is identical to it except for the trigger....

Would you like to have your Ruger back; the one your wife has taken? Then find a nice Colt Woodsman like the one below (Sport model) or the longer barrel Target model. They can be had for under $400...

Each .22 rimfire is a law unto itself. While certain cartridges may do well in a variety of guns, the only way to determine what is best in yours is to shoot it with as many brands as possible. Heck,...

I shoot my Winchester (Miroku) 1885 Traditional Hunter out to 350 yards and do pretty well with it.
Our match includes rams at 350 yards with two turkeys thrown in for good measure. From sticks I...

If the firing pin is flat, lay it on an anvil and peen the end that strikes the cartridge rim with a hammer to lengthen it a few thousands of an inch. I had to do that to a Winchester Model 69A that...

As I understand it, the Colt 1911 .22 is an Umarex manufactured pistol. The German Sporting Guns (GSG) 1911-22 is made by GSG, a completely different company.

I have one of the Argentine converted 1927 'Systema" Colts that was made for the Buenos Aires police from a military .45. Now a .22, it uses a floating chamber just as the Colt Ace and gives the...

The following review was posted on the 1911 forum and I thought some may like to read it here.
It was my intention to buy a SIG 1911-22 from Academy Sports but when I got there, it had been sold....

Does anyone here own or even shot the SIG 1911-22? I handled one yesterday and it seems to be a well made 1911 clone in .22LR. I also handled the Umerex/Colt .22LR 1911 clone which also seems well...

My target load in my 700 SPS-V is 42.3 grains of H-4895 with the 168 grain MK in R-P brass. Others have also reported good results with H-4895 and IMR-4895 in the 43.0 - 43.5 grains area.
You made...

Here is a picture of the target. The 6-PPC edged the 6.5x47 by .020". The dot is 3/4 of an inch. The .223 hung in there with the rest of us. My shot is the lower .308 and I didn't win... darn it! :)...

Possibly but it's more likely that it's one of the rifles altered by a company I can't recall the name of. Maybe 10 years back there were a lot of them on the market.

Ted, my duplex loads are as follows:
Lyman 248 grain boolit sized .378" & lubed with NRA 50/50 formula. WW 2.082" cases primed with standard LR primers; CCI at the moment. OAL = 2.500"

Amen to that thought. Neither of my standard, stock 10/22 Ruger rifles were worth beans out of the box. First time out with the first one was a disaster as the magazine bound up and wouldn't feed. A...

Ted, that sure is a beauty! I have a Miroku/Winchester 1885 "Traditional Hunter" in 38-55 and it's a superb shooter. I use the RCBS-312 BPS boolit that weighs in at 318 grains and sized to .378" for...
