The CZickness XLII looking towards the FGE

[marvin02]

I'm sitting on an amount of 22 rimfire that if published in a local news story, coworkers would say "why does a graduate student have a stockpile?!

Most non-shooters think 500 rounds is a stockpile. That's just a good day at the range.

I agree. I bought out most of the 2-3/4 and 3" shotgun shells when Meijer decided to go all woke and put ammo on clearance. The girl at the register asked if I was stocking a bunker.

I ordered a couple of bricks of the RWS. With RWS's reputation with .22LR and that price, it's bound to be worth the $.

I would have taken the top off of the bolt catch for a cleaner look.

The Brownells trigger/hammer pin punch is VERY useful. It's end is tapered making installation of the trigger and hammer much easier than trying to hold things in place while you get a pin in. Put the tool in first to line things up and let the actual pin knock the tool out when you push it in. I have also found many other uses for it as well. Pushing out a 1911 mainspring housing pin and realigning it for installation is another application.

Very tempting at $53 per brick.

Just for fun, I looked at the shipping on 1 brick. $114.70 for shipping on $53 of ammo. Woah

How you got that shipping estimate?

It appears it miscalculated. Went back and redid it. Now for a single brick it has $15.22 for shipping. I have no explanation.

RWS rifle match 22LR (3 star box) for $4.99.

Ordered 10 boxes.

Thanks for the link.

I shoot rifles left-handed because my grandpa was a lefty and he taught me how to shoot when I was a wee lad. I've always just adapted to RH rifles but I've always wanted to check out those Stag uppers.

I shoot a rifle left handed because I'm left eye dominate. Mostly right handed with a pistol.

I ordered 2 bricks and enough 9mm subsonic to hit the free shipping.

Just ordered a couple bricks of that RWS. Not too much more than I paid for CCI SV not long ago, so seems a decent price.

I thought about going all the way, but I owe a guy for some primers.

Thanks, I did 40 boxes of the RWS and 1 box of those subs.

 

[T-DOGG]

It's a race to see who gets there order first! Anyone want to place bets, say a box of RWS ammo?

CZ...CZ...CZ

That is all.

I don't care about bolt guns so much (my personal hunting rifles are lefty because dangit it's mine) but my Ruger American Rimfire being right handed doesn't matter to me at all since it's so light and I don't do any sort of speed competitions. I don't mind push/pull differences on the break-actions with the tang operators. But I don't like getting gassed with the 5.56 upper - I just shoot it with one eye closed and right handed. If I actually get this thing assembled properly feel free to check it out. The ambi lowers are also nice. I do wish there was some compilation of AR-10 cross-manufacturer cross-compatibility for uppers & lowers or that these people would just settle on a standard and let it work out the way it does for AR-15s.

CZ...CZ...CZ

That is all.

If I were buying new, I'd go CZ 457 instead of the RAR. Does this count?

I just ordered 700rnds and shipping was $19 and change. Didnt like the "order may be delayed due to Covid" after I ordered it though. It'll get here sometime I guess.

Morning all.

Hey RR, are pants optional with a trench coat???

Shooter's choice.

Same. Adapt and overcome.
I also choose not to indulge in LH weaponry. I must train to be proficient with what's available when I need it most, not what is made for my comfort.
Except bows. That's doesn't really work.

Morning folks! I'm heading down to HHRP in a couple of minutes to run a bit of .308 across a chrono. Anyone want to join me? I should get there about 1pm

I ordered 2 bricks of the RWS, shipping was $16.81, total with tax was $124.78. Under 13 cents per round.
