Thanks for checking in, late is fine.

I'm still REALLY liking it, I keep the spee-d-loader set up "backwards" for the Browning now, and hand load the Henry rimfires.

Fine little rifle, I should try it out at longer ranges.

Has anyone added aperture sights to theirs?

Ricochets happen. Rocks in a dirt berm Lots of lead in a dirt berm Steel Targets poorly placed Damaged backstops I've never had anything come back at a speed that was truly dangerous to a clothed man wearing eye protection, but I've seen plenty come back. Mostly flattened chunks of lead or bullet ja...

SSS cycles some of my semiauto rifles

It cycles my Henry Survival rifle (their working copy of the AR7) and my Browning SA22 (which I think needs a new recoil spring)

If that scumbag loser can conceal through four searches, I think I'm good through whatever casual scrutiny I encounter in any given year.

Cowboy Action / SASS carts are pretty cool

I've also seen some ingenious re-uses of 3-wheel jogging strollers

I need something like that that folds into my trunk

It isn't tuned that tight, really. It's for knocking pins off a table fast, not pinpoint precision at 100y. The 5" barrel/slide is probably tighter.

Which doesn't mean I won't be trying it out at 100y when the weather turns.

I was simply still wearing the glove when I snapped that pic to show a friend.

The slathered on breakfree LP was my doing. Once this boomstick is broken in, I'll probably slather it in frog lube, for now, I'm running it wet with LP, and cleaning it with CLP.

A cracked sear pin did that to one of mine.
The bolt would slam shut and jar the hammer/sear apart sometimes.

That MSRP works for me.

I'll test it alongside my PPS & PF9.

Cool move getting guns/molded copies out to holster makers, too.

Mag MSRP $30
Replacement grip panels $20-30
... smart moves by Remington.

Want. Many features I like: Grip safety Decent sights 9x19 Slim Single action Reports of a good trigger Few I don't (possibly none) : ?? Looks a bit goofy, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that most modern pistols look alike. I'll take some styling, even if it goofy. === Also want ...
