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.

The SR-22 Rifle also features a round, mid-length handguard mounted on a standard-thread AR-style barrel nut. Picatinny rails, specifically designed for this handguard, are available from Ruger, allowing the handguard to be configured to accept any number of rail-mounted sights or accessories. A barrel support block is installed in the handguard.

Sturm, Ruger Introduces New SR-22 AR-Style Rifle

SOUTHPORT, Conn. -- Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. has joined the ranks of manufacturers who are making AR-style rimfire rifles.

The Ruger SR-22TM Rifle is an autoloading rimfire rifle that uses 10/22-style magazines on the new AR-style Ruger SR-556 platform. The new SR-22 Rifle allows shooters to use economical .22 LR ammunition, while still enjoying the look and feel of an “AR.”

The SR-22 Rifle uses a standard 10/22 action inside an all-aluminum chassis that replicates the AR-platform dimensions between the sighting plane, buttstock height, and grip.

The SR-22 Rifle provides a Picatinny rail optic mount, and includes a six-position, telescoping M4-style buttstock (on a Mil-Spec diameter tube), plus a Hogue Monogrip pistol grip. Buttstocks and grips may be swapped out for any AR-style compatible option.

The SR-22 Rifle is equipped with a cold hammer forged alloy steel barrel that is 16-1/8” long and is capped with an SR-556/Mini-14 flash suppressor mounted with a ½”-28 thread.

Oh, for cryin' out loud. This is a 10/22? For $625? Didn't we get over that "looks and feels" cosmetic crap when the AWB expired?

I'm saving my money. Ruger has great revolvers, pretty good bolt & single-shot rifles, and damned little else any more. /rant.

The 10/22 is a fine little gun. I have 3, set up in different ways. This seems like a waste to me, though. For less than $100 a Tapco stock accomplishes the same thing, and used 10/22s can be had for $100 or so.
