I ordered a dovetail optics plate off of AliExpressD_NQ_NP_917114-MLB49275205299_032022-O.webp

It was only 18.00 shipped
I haven't found! anyone willing to mill it
It's not that big of a deal to use a plate.
I read they hold up fine.

A local auction is coming up & I saw this
IMG_0954.jpeg

I thought it would be a decent one to put a muffler on. Then I looked them up to see what they are selling for. $$$$

There are several bolt action 22’s at the same auction that I am thinking that maybe I can buy one on the cheap & thread a barrel.

What is s the going rate for barrel threading in you fellas areas ?

We can’t play with cans but barrel threading is usually $150 here.
Price dependent it might just be cheaper to buy a new .22 with a threaded muzzle like a savage mk.2 then you don’t have to F with an older model where extra mags cost as much as the original rifle did

I have 3 semi auto 22’s that could be threaded but I want a bolt action to put a muffler on.
I am thinking a $50 - $75 older rifle will serve well. I may just get a single shot if they go for peanuts.

I can buy long guns at auction & don’t have to prick with the paperwork like on new purchases.

I picked up this very nice Glock 23 awhile back for $385.00 out the door. I've never been a fan of .40 factory loads but I figured I would see what I could do with reloads. Already have a mold, dies, and brass so why not. As expected, the throat on this barrel is pretty snug, I had to seat the Lee 175 grain slugs to 1.098 which is .020 shorter than what most data calls for. My aim is to produce something akin to a .38-40, so I'm not going anywhere close to max charge.

I tried 3.8 grains of Hodgdon HP-38 ,which is .4 below the starting charge for a 180 grain plated bullet. This load so far functions 100%, has excellent accuracy, and kicks out empties just a couple of feet away. The bore is amazingly clean, with no signs of leading at all. It clocks a very consistent 780 fps across my Chrono, which is about what I was aiming for. I think there might be more .40's in my future!

I use the ETS 7 round mags in my Glock 42. Only thing is, they won't lock in place with all 7 rounds loaded and slide closed since they are jamming 7 rounds in the same space as the factory 6 round mag. Not a big deal since I carry two factory mags for reloads. Gonna buy some ETS mags for my Glock 23.

I bought 4 glock 19 original old style ets mags around 5 year's ago loaded them up and kind of forgot about them until last summer
I put a 9mm barrel in my glock 23 and all the mags worked perfectly no issues at all.

This is my crow shooter. Little Savage .22. It is a close range tack driver. I apologize for the picture, I can’t get it to stand up. Silencerco Sparrow on the muzzle.

I’m not a big savage guy but I bet have atleast 30k rounds through my mark 2 and I’ve only had to replace mags as they wear out.
Are you guys allowed to use suppressors on hunting or farm/ varmint rifles?

As far as big game, I know suppressors are not allowed here in Georgia. As far as farm, private property use I’m not sure. They’re probably not legal to use but I can’t imagine a Lawman coming here and saying I can’t use it in my backyard when it’s Ok to shoot the rifle. I just have to be 500 ft from the nearest occupied building in my county to shoot a gun.

Totally depends on your state. Some states they are banned entirely, others have no laws on them as long as you comply with federal law regarding tax and registration. I live in Kentucky, and here you can use a can for any lawful purpose including hunting. A lot of people I know have purchased silencers so they can discretely take care of garden and chicken house raiders in town.

New to me… S&W Model 19-4. This is not NIB but close, which is good , as I plan to shoot it. TT,TH,TS.View attachment 445418Has the box and all the papers, tools.
Santa brung it.
Nice
I wore out a 4" 19 shooting mainly midrange wadcutter reloads back in the 1980s.
We shot 500 rnd. a week of a mix of .22, 38/9, and .45. Shooting a double action is rewarding.
My favorite revolver is a S&W mod 17 6" TTT with a good action job. Late 70s manufacture. Shot many targets, snakes, pinecones and tin cans with that one. I Have the mod18 4" too.

My favorite revolver to shoot is a Model 10 with a heavy barrel. There's just something about a K Frame.
