Sold my GSG-5 22LR with fake suppressor. $300. These are a blast to shoot. Have two mags that have been converted to 10 rounds. Don't shoot it anymore and want to clear up some space on the safe. I live in Bergen county and will meet you in a dealer who you choose. You pay transfer so choose a cheap transfer dealer.
Need help deciding here:
I'm torn between Ruger mark IV and SW22. Want to buy a universal gun for Bullseye and Steel Challenge, so it has to be bull barrel or similar.
I like stainless steel Ruger and million aftermarket parts available but I don't like grip angle (22/45 fits better but it's plastic) and the fact that barrel is the firearm. So every time I would think of a new barrel it will have to be a new set permits....
On the contrary SW22 has less aftermarket support and somewhat strange grip - the angle is fine though. Plus its cheaper.
Your opinions? pls?
thanks in advance.
P.S. Buck Mark is out - don't even bring it up :). I own Buck Mark, i like the way it shoots but the takedown process can be painful. last time I wanted to clean it i stripped the hex screw and had to go to a gunsmith . Also, little aftermarket options and harder to find parts.
Looking into purchasing a new shotgun to use for clay/turkey/deer. I'm a bit traditional when it comes to shotguns, and like a classic, no frills, simple pump action. I'm loyal as of now to Mossberg so keeping my options within. Had my eye on a new 500 field all ourpose/ field deer combo. But also caught my eye is the 835 ulti mag 26 inch in MO Bottomland.
My question is related to finish, never owned a camo shotgun. Are they painted? How does the camo finish hold up? Any more corrosion resistant compared to blued like the 500?
