| Bought one for 150.00 saw it and thought it was so qute .Never been fired and two clips. Anyone have any input about this thing. And did I get a deal or not? |
| Having had 3 or 4 of them in the past, they dont seem totally reliable and they will rust fast if not coated. One I had was real accurate, two were average, one sucked bad. I put an O-ring on the barrel nut to keep it on and still remove it for cleaning. A couple of the original mags are worth more than the gun itself. Butler creek 25 dont work in the TEC-22 but the Eagle 30s do. (built in ejector) as do the rotary 10-22 10 rounders. I also remember putting a rubber hose on the trigger to cushion the kick back from the mechanism. |
| Just use your favorite anti-rust formula to coat entire top and any exposed metal, I like spray on, for complete coverage. The original magazines were 30 rounders, black, and said "scorpion" on the side, so I suspect yours are Ramlines. Borrow a 10 round rotary from a 10-22 Ruger to test for reliability, and maybe try "stingers" if ejection is a problem. I opened up the chamber and polished it, also clipping a few coils from the recoil spring for even more reliability, as the new one, I felt was too strong. Look at it as more of a novelty/fun gun, not really something to stake your life on as mags and chamber get dirty fast...enjoy. |
