| I put a couple hundred rounds of some remington bulk pack golden bullets down the tube today. I bet I didn't have but one magazine that fed all the way thru without a a fte. I bought the two tone with Nitron look around when they first came out and I know I haven't used it in a year. I just hope that it'll eventually break in and stop jamming up so much. Has anyone else had any luck with them breaking in after a crap load of rounds or does the problem continue while not using cci mini's? I really like the way it feels and hate to get rid of it but the thought has crossed my mind. |
My first Mosquito was a dog. FTEs/FTFs galore. It was an older two-tone model and I bought it used, so I admittedly have no idea how it was broken-in, used, abused, insulted, etc. before it came into my hands... ... even so, it almost made me write off the model line entirely. But I eventually came across a very good deal on a NIB "Tactical" model and decided to give it another shot. I broke it in just how the manual instructed, and now this one runs 100% with Fed bulk pack (my preference), suppressed or not...

Mine shoots CCI's great, Remington sucks, Federal is ok, about 1 FTE in 50. I have about 400 CCI's through it. 1 Federal bulk pack and 100 Remington bulk pack.
I have noticed Federal quality has gone down since I first started shooting it, years ago, in my Buckmark. Shot to shot is inconsistent. |

I started with CCI then went to Federal and Remington. It never got reliable for me. Sure I would get a couple of good mags, but then I would have a bad one.
I gave up and sold it. I like the look and feel but I don't want to deal with failures. There are plenty of .22s out there that are reliable. |

Quoted: Well I said to heck with it and I called my dealer today. He's ordered me a Ruger 22lr with the 5.5" bull barrel. I'll get him to move the front sight back and cut it down and thread it for me later. It should be in mid next week. Any one need a new Sig?  Just a fyi, the new 22/45's with factory threaded barrels are in stock at Buds. I ordered a 10150 earlier. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/74663 |

Got an Acadmey Sports nearby? $24.99 |

My dealer is going to charge me for less then what it cost to buy it online, shipping, and transfer fee. + I do not like the thinness of the grips on the 22/45. My Dad has one and I don't like it. I prefer the thicker grips on the regular mkiii
