What's Your "Weak" Gun?

22 WMR is so scarce and so rationed around here, I am reluctant to shoot more than one box at a time through mine.

I am the same way about shooting my Ithaca lever action saddle gun in .22WRM. I got it in a trade back in 1981.  I got it and a Hi Standard double 9 in a trade. for my Ruger single six .22 LR.

My HK USC to UMP conversion. It's always up next..... till it's not. The only way it doesn't happen this spring if that LWRC SMG comes out...

I actually just met a guy (a friend of the family)with a full conversion for sale. Has a bunch of mags too. I thought about you but resisted calling you about it... I know this is the LAST thing on your plate.

I still have my .357 Security Six that I traded for in 1980:

That's part of what sold me on Ruger, my first .357 Magnum, a Security Six.  Had to shoot the hottest loads at the time (Remington High Velocity 125gr SJHP), discovered the forcing cone on the barrel was cracked.  Sent it back to Ruger, after it had been replaced several years prior by the GP100.  They replaced the barrel, redid the timing, replaced the springs and sent me the aftermarkets back in a baggie, cleaned the pistol, reblued the whole thing.

Didn't charge me a penny.

/\/\/\/\ Nice Mack!

Desperate for a job, my first armed guard gig was worked with a S&W Victory in .38S&W.  It was ugly WWII parkerized, not the fancy nickel you have there.

This old Smith has a lot of holster wear. But it is good and tight. I don't have any history on it before I  traded for it. .

Holy crap!!!  All I have is a crappy Ruger 10/22.  Not only gun, just "weakest". LOL   Been through hell and back and keeps working. Many a rabbit has feared it. Bought it when I was 18 Yrs old.  WOW! That's almost 40 years ago!  Man, time goes fast.

No kidding about time! I had my oldest driving (permit driver) the vet and I to the local gravel pit for her first shoot! She loves the old 10/22 but shot a 12 ga. 762x39 .223 and a .45 kimber pistol! Big day for her and i think i might buy a new 10/22 if she shows more intrest soon.. She was a natural hitting clays at 50 yds. Baby steps. ? Vet says she will out shoot me hahaha i says watch that golf ball! Hit it up the bank and two more times as it rolled down. 10/22 is a must have!

When my son absconded with my 40 year old 10/22, I did what any 10/22 lover would do in my place. I bought another one. But what another one! I got the stainless bull barrel model with the Mannlicher stock. The thing is amazing accurate! Right out to 100  yards. Now he would like that one, but no no.
