They didn’t know they were live. Hot mics.

I ended up abandoning this 22LR idea until I decide what I want to do and how often I want to do it. I suspect this ends with me shooting groups at 25 yards, so I probably should have just kept the TacSol X-Ring that I never shot and sold here. Will revisit at a later time.

Used Royal Range. Their FFL is posted on the site. You just provide them the guy’s name that’s selling it to you and he sends a DL copy. Super easy. Thanks for the help. Benelli M1 Super 90 on the way.

Oh wow, that’s my FFL. And it even says it on their site now. This is great. Thanks! FYI, Music City’s site says they do not allow private transfers: https://www.musiccitypawn.com/firearm-transfers Purchasing Company Name * Please list the name of the company for which you are ordering the firearm. NOTE: Music City Pawn will only facilitate transfers of online purchases from an FFL dealer. We do not accept online sales transfers from individuals without an FFL.

Not sure if this is the right forum... Just looking for recommendations on any FFLs that accept incoming transfers from private parties (that include a DL copy). The few that I’ve talked to say they only accept incoming from another FFL. Nashville area, but include Franklin, etc I hate calling around and figured I’d try here first.

Cheap 22NRL gun. I’m not cut out for door #1 and #2. Punching paper off a bipod with rear rest. Not sloppy semi auto plinking. Right now, my interest is in the CZ 457 Varmint Precision Trainer...which is probably junk compared to that “cheap” NRL22 gun. But even that CZ is $1K. Add scope and accessories, I’m really not that far away from $2K.

Great questions. Spent some time on Rimfire Central and those dudes go DEEP in this. I thought I was interested in competition until reading over there. I’m realizing I’m not willing to take something that seriously right now. Pivoting. For the ONLY 22LR you could own for target shooting, plinking, and maybe some casual competition, what is the best bolt action option in that “higher end” category? Is that $1K? I do appreciate the offer for the call and I may take you up on it, but I think this idea just got much simpler and cheaper based on the reactions.

Not sure are all, which is why I’m asking. I’ve been looking at $2K-3K base rifles (no optic) this morning with $1K-$2K optics, which is probably overkill. These guys are shooting FAR for a 22LR. I probably shouldn’t have sold my TacSol X-Ring without giving it a fair shot, but I really don’t like 10/22s that much for some reason.

Fair point. I’d like the option to put my can on it, but if it’s going to just blow back carbon into a highly accurized barrel, then I can pass on that. I saw pics of some high end rifles with cans and (not knowing rimfire) figured there was some purpose to it.

What do you get? Looking for bolt action for bench shooting and must include glass I can probably go a little over that budget if needed. Looking at potentially shooting Rimfire matches. Do you buy new or used? Any recommendations on forums/websites/places to buy? I know almost nothing about rimfire. I do have two Surefire 22LR cans, so threaded barrel is important. Any advice is appreciated.

My first thought. I already don’t love set screw gas blocks, let alone this clamp style.

Sounds about right. Before midlength, we had the Dissipator- 16” barrel, rifle length gas. With no dwell time, the gas port on the barrel had to be opened up. They ended up just putting a carbine (now midlength) gas block under the rifle length handguards and leaving the A2 FSB where it was for the sight radius. Gas systems aside, the “long handguard with minimal barrel exposed” era is only a few years old. Most of my ARs are set up that way. I was actually looking at my 18” guns over the weekend wondering how weird a 17” handguard would look on them.

First was 2003, just before the ban sunset. Bushmaster ”postban”. Paid $1100 and was just glad to buy it. Bought a WASR-10 AK for $299 that same week, along with some cases of Wolf for $69/1K in 7.62x39 and $79/1K for .223. Pinned stock (can’t actually collapse it), muzzle brake, no bayonet lug. That one is long gone.

Yeah, figured it was ####ty Davidson.

It was DMV or MVD in most states. I’ve never seen whatever the hell its called here anywhere else. And I’ve never had to go to different places to register my car vs get a license until TN. I’ve also never been turned away from either because they had given out all the tickets for the day. Lastly, I’ve never had anyone grab my CCW from another state and refuse to give it back because I applied for my carry permit here. While I’m ranting, I’ve never had a state agency insert themselves into a firearm background check process. That’s between the ATF and me, not whatever the TBI is or thinks they are.

At one point I had 3 509s, all with Apex triggers. Two of them were easy installs. I had to have one of the pins removed by a gunsmith. That was a nightmare. Great triggers, though. Rarely shoot them, but really like them.

My CZ P10F never even made it to the range. I was an early adopter and had the same issues. Mag release didn’t work right. Slide stop also wouldn’t release with thumb. Sold it. One of the only guns I sold without ever shooting.

And my point is that the generic use of RMR is a new thing and completely incorrect. This “everything is an RMR” trend started in the past year and makes no sense. Give your theory to a shop manager who receives orders all the time for “RMR cut” and then later finds out it’s for another optic with a different pattern.

Yeah, that’s wrong too. Those are also brands, not products. The RMR is a Trijicon optic. I’ve been shooting in matches with red dots for about 5 years and I was a late adopter compared to my buddies. I bought and sold 3 with RMRs before falling in love with the Roland Special with a Leupold DPP Pro. If anything, it’s going to be the year of Holosun. They are doing some innovative stuff.

CMMG has radial delayed blowback. It makes a big difference. It’s not as smooth as an MP5, probably due to weight, but it’s the only 9MM AR I would consider. Plus you can get the CMMG mag kits that convert AR PMAGs into 9MM mags. Yes it’s more expensive, but I hated the few 9MM SBR ARs I’ve owned, just like I hate my two SBR CZ Scorpions.

I think at this point you could run a strap through a sling loop on a regular stock and call it a “brace”. I still think braces are the next thing up for ATF “re-re-re-interpretation”.

Big fan of my semi-auto SBR MP5 and MP5-K. I also have two Scorpion SBRs and a Tavor 9MM, but nothing comes close to an MP5. I actually won my first 2-gun match with an MP5 up against about 70 other shooters with ARs or similar. Toss a can on it and shoot 147gr and it’s stupid quiet. I had a Colt 9MM AR SBR and wasn’t blown away by it. Sold it. It collected dust while I shot my MP5. If these are anywhere near $1K and function well, this will get interesting. You’re one pin away from getting rid of the brace and making it an SBR with a stock. The $300 Glock clones are also going to sell like crazy. Palmetto makes a good product at a great price. Never had an issue with them.

I fail to see a single personal attack. I made generalizations about trends I’ve seen here and followed up with responses to indirect attacks. I stand by everything I said. I offer no apologies for being a 2A advocate and constructively calling BS where I see it.

Speak for yourself, Edward Jones.
