Classic arms has a guy that they use quite frequently. Call them and talk to Mason or Chance. One of those two guys will point you in the right direction.

I never expected these to be cheap. I mean, afterall, the surefire name is worth at least a hundred bucks.

Bottom line right here. Dealer did nothing wrong.

This is my experience. I have taken all of my Fords to the dealership for service. I tell the service writer what I want and I wait for the tech to get my car. I watch what bay he drives to and I walk over and ask if he minds if I talk to him or watch. They always say not a problem and I've gotten to know a couple of them. The only time they ever tried to upsell me was when they hired a new writer that was trying to sell things before the cars got taken back. It doesn't matter if its an independent shop or a dealership, there are usually good mechanics there and its your responsibility to find a good one. When you find a guy you like, request him when you talk to the service writer or service advisor. Its just like finding a doctor. Find a good one or keep looking.

I know that it's not the best out there but it was definitely worth the money. And it's alot of fun. I haven't had any complaints about it. I tell you what, if we ever get on the same side of the state, I'll let you check it out.

And yet I'm very happy with mine.

Yep tall skinny guy is Mason. Good guy.

Mine looks alot like Il Duce's. I wasn't able to snap any pictures before installation and I don't feel like taking my trigger back out. I might snap some later. Here are a few pictures of it installed. I find the safety to be perfectly functional. However, I have similar complaints to Il Duce's. I find the right side lever to be too long and it definitely feels weird under my trigger finger. I also find the safety to be just a little too wide for my liking. Its not a huge deal but you can see the gap in the photos that I took. Overall, its a pretty nice setup and I'm really interested in additional levers if Defense Package makes them.

Yep. Put the factory hammer back in. Sometimes, the VQ parts just can't hit hard enough. Its been known to happen somewhat regularly.

I still think you were wrong about the whole thing though. For many reasons. The Form 1 that you filled out is an "Application to MAKE and register a..." You are making it. If you aren't, then you filled out the wrong form. Also, this is from a "marking variances FAQ." "Therefore, a manufacturer who is participating in any step of the manufacturing process must legibly identify each firearm or request an exception under Title 27 CFR § 478.92(a)(4)(i). These additional variances are extremely important because ATF must know all the parties involved in the complete manufacturing process so that an accurate and thorough trace can be performed by the National Tracing Center."

I hate HIDs. Maybe I just have sensitive eyes but even when a mercedes or some other luxo crap gets behind me, they blind me. HID's are just unnecessary for most city drivers. However, glad you are choosing to do a retrofit and not a conversion. Jon, can you not ticket people for their crappy headlights? Is there a law against it or something?

Spotify is still in the process of ingesting content. A lot of content was originally delivered to Spotify with Euro clearances only since they only did business in that part of the world. Since they opened in the US, they are going through and re-doing contracts to make sure that they have world wide rights. They will be adding content frequently. I would guess that within the year, everything available on itunes will be available on spotify, with a few exceptions (Beatles). I am a digital distributor for music. I literally deliver music to these companies for a living.

People always love to joke about it and make fun of it but its a great training aid. And alot of fun for small children. Everything has a niche and tactical 22's may be new but they definitely serve a purpose.

The spring is not built into the bolt. The spring is on the guide rod/charging handle and is a separate piece from the bolt.

Explain the popularity of the 10/22 10 years ago before all of the AR stuff was available. People like the 10/22 because it is an incredibly reliable platform that has remained unchanged (mostly) for 50 years.

I think the Hogue is the best grip out there for me. But for a rifle that will see heavy duty, I think the plastic grips will hold up better. For a light duty/range gun, you cannot beat the hogue.

FTFY

Where are you getting them for 280?

I've only used CMMG and Palmetto kits. I like the both well enough to buy again. For a beginner, the CMMG kit is great because all of the parts are separated into groups in individual baggies. That way, you know exactly what is for which part.

Kings Custom Coatings is just across the river. Or you could send it back to Ruger. Its about 130 for them to polish and reblue. Ruger Service Fees

I love the lower on the Sports though. I wish I could just buy a few of the lowers.

Id like to check one out as well. You can put me down as a tester

If you have the thread adapter for the P22, lets go shoot some and I'll get you hooked on silence!

I really got away from that generic M16 look for a while. It just wasn't appealing to me anymore. Until you posted that picture. Now I really want to do an A2 build similar. Loving the look.

Very nice bubba! I'm really diggin this one. I might just have to copy that build!!!
