I think it's rock river that released a pistol with a different recoil system. No need for a buffer tube.

No problem. I used that method and it worked great. I used a coat hanger and a pallet to hang them up.

Take the gun completely apart. Hang the parts out in the direct sunlight when it gets around 80 degrees and the cosmoline will literally drip off it.

Before stripping. After glass blasting. I'm getting excited.

Midnight Lace is gorgeous! Project #23 Midnight Lace

Nice. I want one!

I'll be sending out paperwork next week for my mite.

The instructions are so thick because it also come with a trigger kit.

The guys on rfc love the kit. Personally, I don't have a problem stripping mine.

I will definitely stop in at some point.

So I'm filling out a Form 4 for my first silencer and I got to box 5 and got hung up. It asks for FFL number if any. It doesn't apply to the NFA stuff but I do have my C&R so should I put that number in there? Will it make things any faster?

It's at the blasting shop now. Hope to be able to pick it back up on Friday.

I couldn't find any refinishing services that were cheap enough for my liking so I decided to kinda take matters into my own hands. I started thinking about my body shop. Now before you laugh too hard, let me explain. I have been using the same body shop for a long time and consider the owner and his son, the painter to be friends. They are also gun guys like myself. After talking to them, they decided that they wanted to try it out and see what happened so they are currently picking up a few different popular finishes and we are going to use my pistol as a test. We are gonna start with duracoat and hope that we can get the result we want, which is a glossy black. But first, the pistol needs to be stripped. I completely stripped the frame and slide last night and now its ready for blasting. I am going to go by Rick's Powdercoating later this week to see about getting them to soda blast it. If their price is reasonable, I will be getting them to take care of that for me. After blasting, it will be time for the finish. I didn't take any pics of the progress yet but I will try and remember to take some later today.

Am I correct in understanding that Don is an MSJ member as well?

Will do. I'm not opposed to spending that much but only if they are gonna blast it first and then finish it. I'll eventually figure something out.

This is where I intend to get my grips from. http://www.marschalgrips.com/cz82/cz82.html

Wow. That actually looks really good. i want a black finish though. I wonder if I should get him to blue it.

You won't regret that sir!

I've gotten to where I really dislike the finish on mine. I'm trying to figure out a cheap option for refinishing that doesn't include me doing it myself. There are just too many chips in it for my liking and I really want to cover over the import mark.

That was my point. I can hit the X a few times but being consistent is my problem. And I will always admit that I am the problem.

I love the H&R single shots. Probably because of all my time at scout camp. they make me nostalgic.

at that distance, the gun would certainly outshoot me.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm always excited about new 22s. And at the AAC booth, they displayed their new integrally suppressed 10/22 barrel. It's friggin awesome. It's a take apart design but looks like a standard bull barrel at first glance.

Looks like street price is going to be less than 200. I'd definitely be in for one but it doesn't look like they are making the one that I really want. I want a .22lr tube fed with walnut stock and blued finish. I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to SAS the front end.
