I have always used the trigger that came standard on my 10/22 rifles. I bought a few Tandemkross products that I like on my 10/22's and I feel they're worth the cost of the upgrades instead of the standard bolt, bolt release and charging handle and the upgraded pins that hold in the trigger group etc.. I have been Toying with the idea of upgrading the trigger on my 10/22 but never having upgraded the stock trigger and of course both triggers are single stage, has anyone else ever upgraded...

Recently bought a new 10/22 in stainless and of course Ruger says not to use Locktite when mounting a rail on the rifle, Wrong. Anyone that owns a rifle or pistol knows that without a little blue Locktite on the scope mount it Will work itself way loose. I've always used blue Locktite on all 3 of my 10/22's with no problems. How I have done it is to remove the trigger group and the bolt. Once that's done I spread a little blue Locktite on a paper plate and line up the rail on top of the... Read more ..read more

I recently bought a 9" barrel 22lr AR platform 'pistol upper' at a very attractive price. Today, I had a chance to zero the red dot and see if it was suitably accurate. Cheap dot optics are often twitchy with adjustments and even the SigSauer was a bit hitchy but I got it dialed in with 10-12 shots. A bit of rain was approaching so I called it good enough and sent the last 6 shots toward the 8" 100 yard swinger. Six for six with a 3 MOA dot and a bit of gusting wind is not bad if I do say so...

Combinations, one is a KMK512 and the other is a KMK678GC that I located recently after a long search. Neither have bad triggers out of the gate but both can be improved so I took them both to my favorite gunsmith to have Volquartsen target triggers and sears installed but while that is happening, I thought I'd ask the forum what if anything significant, I can expect from them in terms of # of pull, crispness of release, etc. Anyone with experience who can weigh in will be greatly...

It doesn't get shot much, mostly stays quietly in the safe but I just wanted to test it out today. I fired 150 rounds of CC-SV and 50 rounds of Blazer. Shoots great. Now I get to clean it. Ruger Mark III with 5.5 in. TacSol barrel with a Tandemkross Game-Changer Pro compensator and C-More Slide-Ride sight with 12 minute dot. Volquartsen Accurizing Kit gives it a 1 pound 2 oz. trigger ..read more

Yes! I am a winner today! Last weekend I cleaned about 6 guns, mostly revolvers and my Browning Buckmark. That one has been a while since I took it apart. I'd forgotten about the pieces falling off when you remove the grips. The little tab that keeps the magazine dis-connector in place as well as the bolt stop level. But today I tackled my two Mark II's. I knew they both needed to be disassembled and cleaned. They were starting to jam. Usually I clean them without taking them apart. But... Read more ..read more

I have been offered a 1963 Ruger Single Six Magnum (so marked on the frame). It has a 6 1/2" barrel and from the pictures, does not look to have a lot of bluing wear. It has been converted (wish he had not done that), but all the parts are there to put it back to original. I need to go take a look at it and determine if I am willing to give what he is asking. I don't think he is out of line on the price, but was wondering if a magnum only Single Six commanded a higher price and what... Read more ..read more

Shot a Steel Challenge match today with my Ruger 10/22 and really enjoyed it. This is a very light gun weighing in at just over 3 pounds. The Tactical Solution barrel is 16 inches long but only has 11 inches of rifling. Receiver is Ruger from a friend that gave it to me for Christmas. Trigger is Power's Custom and is set at 1 pound 3 ounces. It's been reliable for 900 rounds so far. I'm still breaking this gun in with CCI Mini Mags. Weather was perfect today at 92° and...
