Damn it to hell

I need A permaban

Now I must have one of these....

Have zero need for one

I also noticed that the bolt from my rifle doesn’t have as much material milled off as my pistol.

You need one! Ammo prices my man. Ammo prices.

I was at my LGS this morning and asked if they had seen any yet and they said had got several late last week and only had one left that they had not put out on the rack yet. I ended-up buying it. $449.00 cash.

They also threw in a FDE mag and a used M&P marked red dot they had not got around to getting a battery for yet. It works fine but I stuck a Bushnell TRS-25 on it.

I took the FH off and put on a Ares armor brake I had laying around....The FH was not on much more than finger tight, just snugged good.

I added a set of sights and a couple of rail sections.

My knock on it is the long-ass mags. I ordered a 10-rounder from Midway for it, most everyone else is out of stock right now.

Oh, and I picked-up 127 rounds of .32-20 for $40.00 too.

I decided to go in a different direction and installed a older Japanese-made Bushnell 1.5 X 4.5 X 25 I had in my box-o-scopes. I also swapped-out the thin and ill-fitted OEM MagPul grip for a Colt A1 grip. I like the thicker A1 grip much better.

I put my .22 can on it and took it down to my range this morning and tried it out with some CCI Standard. No function issues, accuracy was on par for what I expected, +/- around .25" at 40 yards. I took the can off, put the brake on, and then tried it with CCI Mini Mag with pretty much the same results.....Maybe a tad bit better in fact. Again, no function issues.  

I suspect that if it was given a better trigger (or just broke-in) it would do much better. Still better than a OEM 10-22 trigger but I know that's not saying much.

I you decide to change grips just be aware that there are two springs that you need to account for under the grip, the normal one in the grip hole that everyone is familiar with and a second/smaller spring just aft of it. I don't know what it does but it rests on the top of the grip and is depressed as you screw the grip on, you just need to keep it straight till the grip is seated. I just used my fingers and held it straight.

Thanks for that review!

Possibly, it does line-up under it.

So I picked up one of these cause I got a suppressor coming. Fun little gun! It's been too cold to do much with it, but sighting in on a steel plate the groups looked pretty decent.

But, and I already posted this in the Silencer forum, S&W did a poor job on the barrel threads, no relief cut between the end of the threads and the shoulder, must have saved about 50 cents in machining costs.

The threads are longer than my suppressor calls for (Mask) so I picked up a spacer. So it looks like my gunsmith will get some more of my money.

Yep, that's my only real gripe with the pistol.

My form1 mount doesn't have a undercut in its threads so I had to find a spacer that did so I can index off the shoulder. Ill see if I can dig up where I got the spacer from and let you know.

I didn't even look at my threads. Guess I'll be needing a spacer too. Mask is in jail for a while yet anyway.

That sir is bad ass.

Info on the f1 can?

Update on my barrel thread issue. I walked into my Suppressor dealer with the barrel in hand all set to have new threads cut. He reached into his pocket and said let's try this. He'd made up some spacers with relief cuts and tried to sell them at one point but there wasn't enough profit in it. It did the job. It saved me $40, but more importantly I took it home and shot it versus waiting for four weeks, ha.

Well it looks cool, and that is all that really matters.

I picked one up from my local dealer for $450 on Saturday, still need to get out and shoot it. Unfortunately reasonably priced mags seem to be unobtanium right now.

Brownells has the black 25rd mags in stock as of this morning. I just picked one up.
