Don’t give up if a replacement firing pin is unavailable from your catalog suppliers. Instead, use these tips to solve the problem.

One of the things some gun owners—engineers or fairly well-educated hobbyists who have a good grasp of mechanical things—ask about is how to handle the different kinds of pins in their guns. Particularly, they often want to know if their punches are the right ones, or if they can use a slightly different one without damaging their pins.

“Shouldn't an army base be the last place where a terrorist should be able to shoot at people uninterrupted for 10 minutes? After all, an army base is filled with soldiers who carry guns, right? Unfortunately, that is not the case. Beginning in March 1993, under the Clinton administration, the army forbids military personnel from carrying their own personal firearms and mandates that 'a credible and specific threat against [Department of the Army] personnel [exist] in that region' before military personnel 'may be authorized to carry firearms for personal protection.'

From MonroeRising.com: Recently, a friend and I were lamenting the steady dissolution of our Constitution. It seemed to us that the further our politicians have strayed from the spirit, meaning and intent of the Constitution, the more enervated, disunited and dispirited our nation and its people have become. Discussing how best to remedy the nation’s decline and to restore Constitutional governance, we briefly alluded to the discredited doctrine of nullification about which neither of us knew very much at all. So, I decided to briefly revisit the subject to see what I could learn. In a nutshell, this is it. I hope it will be of some interest to you.

Sturm, Ruger Announces Ruger 10/22VLEH Target Tactical Rifle

SOUTHPORT, Conn. — Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. has introduced the Ruger 10/22VLEH Target Tactical rifle, a new version of the 10/22T Target rifle that provides many of the features offered in the Hawkeye Tactical bolt-action rifle.

The 10/22VLEH starts out as a 10/22 Target Model with a precision-rifled, cold hammer-forged, spiral-finished barrel. The barrel is shortened to 16-1/8” to reduce weight and improve handling. The .920” OD match-grade barrel is capped with a target crown that protects the rifling at the muzzle.

The 10/22T target trigger is standard in the 10/22VLEH, and the gun also includes a precision-adjustable bipod, an empty ten-round rotary magazine, and a weight of 6-7/8 pounds (without bipod).

There is a certain idiot segment of the gun-owning population that will drool and give away money at the mention of the word "tactical." When talking about .22 LR rimfire, tactical simply doesn't apply. It's been corrupted into a marketing term, much the way spoiler has in the auto industry. Applying tactical accessories and finish to a .22 rifle is exactly like putting a spoiler on a Toyota Corolla. I'm rolling my eyes.

It's a $285.00 rifle @ Gander Mountain. Gander Mountain and Scheel's prices are always 12% higher than other outdoor sports stores. I believe you can purchase a decent looking AK-47 for $550.00

I agree-this is a product looking for a purpose. My 10/22 is the most accurate 22 I've used. There's no need for this one. I have more Rugers than any others all are unmatched cept one S/W 38 ties my 357,and still looking for another P97D so I'd pair up.Love them Rugers.
