Ted's daily small talk

[Sir Henry]

I have a 10/22 and a CZ 455 Mannlicher. Out of the two I prefer the CZ.

Further up I already mentioned I need to stay out of the gun store.
CZ Mannlichers are fine rifles. The Ruger 10/22 is also very appealing.
My first rifle was a CZ 452. Birch stock, but real nice blueing and the action was awesome.
I didn't appreciated enough. I was in for center fire.
That's exactly why I am cautious with a 10/22.



Considering all the firearms that came thru in the last 20 years, what remains are 2 S&W revolvers, 2 1911s and the Henry Single Shot.
I thought of getting an All Weather Model. I strongly favor the pistol grip, but 45-70 is just a hump too far. That Picatinny rail is not something I have to have to start with. I am also re-drawing the original story board. Keep pistol calibers with hand guns and fire rifle calibers from a rifle.

Next week I have to go back to my favorite LGS to pick up a HK P2000 in 9mm. I couldn't pass on it, esp. since I have a few thousand rounds of 9mm stashed and no weapon for it. <<< That's another story for another day. Now, I can't believe I end up with a German gun.

I have a cheapo CZ455 (iirc) plastic-stock, threaded-barrel. Light weight, small light scope, perfect rifle for shooting with a can. I drag it out every now and then. I bought it as a predator-control night-vision rifle when we had chickens. It did its job superbly.

[Sir Henry]

I’ve had many German guns. Most notable a Mauser and several PP, PPK, PPKs, PK and a P. The P, PP and PPK were all .22LR while the s and PK were 380.

In the stuff that i'm listing locally are a bunch of 22s. Sig trailside target, larrys guns x-esse, with matchdot and all larrys goodies, kimber 82g w/tuner, anschutz mpr with tuner. Beretta 87t w/10mags, cz 512, i simply dont shoot non suppressed guns when i have a gun that suppresses in the same caliber.

I’m quickly becoming that way.

Shooting suppressed changes a lot of things. First and foremost, you can shoot longer, with far less recoil and sound. Extended range sessions don't leave your ears ringing, hands tingling, or shoulders throbbing.

[Ted124]

Can't own a suppressor in California.

[Sir Henry]

Can't own a suppressor in California.

Can’t own them in Washington State either. That’s one of the many reasons I now live in Wisconsin.

Like the great Don Bathe, my first firearms advisor.

His AR was deemed illegal and so was his sawed-off shotgun.
He sold his house at the height of the real estate bubble and moved from Santa Maria to the Scottsdale area in AZ.

His very first lesson: 'There are two kinds of revolvers. Single Action & Double Action revolvers'.
That's when I knew I was born to own a Smith & Wesson.

[daytime dave]

Nice Smith and Wesson snub.

[Ted124]

Thank you! Serial # points at 1969. Model 10, 6-shot, K-frame.
Some previous owner scratched a number on the inside strap of the grip. Appears to be a SS#.

Did a DROS on the Ruger 10/22 International (Mannlicher). Nice little carbine.
Those don't come around often. No pics, I forgot. 10 days.

Same waiting period we suffer here in Washington State. I am envious as I’ve always admired the 10/22 International. Good buy!

Here in Wisconsin I can take a rifle or pistol home the same day. I do have to wait a few days on suppressors but that’s the feds.

Same in Tennessee, takes a few minutes for the bg check. Then pay and carry it home.
I haven't tried buying a suppressor yet, but now that you don't have the added tax stamp fees I am considering one or two.
I haven't purchased any firearms since late last summer, so a suppressor should scratch that itch.
In SC at the moment so it'll have to wait.

The process for a suppressor is simple and you can do everything at the lgs if they have the kiosk that can do fingerprints. Once in the system its really easy.

[Ted124]

Thank you. I felt motivated by the general opinion about the 10/22 International (Mannlicher). It's really a very appealing rifle.
I haven't been big on rimfire shooting, but that may change. Low cost plinking.

It's a pain here, with getting firearms related stuff.
Tried to order a 3-pack rotary mags. They won't ship to CA, because I haven't updated my address on my current Real ID.

I did buy a house/property in Kingman, AZ a few years ago. Re/Max is currently managing the rental.
I keep myself ready to move out there.

... standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona, such a fine sight to see.
It's a girl my Lord in a Flat Bed Ford slowing down to take a look at me ...
