Leaded Barrel
I saw that cloth, I just purchased bore tech rimfire blend, it had good reviews, I also purchased some chor boy copper scrub pads, giving that a shot this time. The first time this happened I used peroxide and vinegar 50/50 mix, in 2 hours it melted the lead away, but is dangerous if not careful. Plug the muzzle, fill with the mix and come back in a couple hours and it’s gone. Lead poisoning is a real concern if not careful going that route. There is a chemical transformation of the lead with the mixture making it capable of being absorbed through the skin.

Leaded Barrel
Got it, when I get home I have the same issue where a wetted patch is a struggle to even get through. I do run some plated rounds every 50 or so, didn’t seem to help. Once I get it clean I’ll try the Mimi mags for a few hundred and see if that changes anything as Scorpio64 suggested.

Leaded Barrel
Andy, when you say foul, do you mean lead or normal carbon build up? Would you consider 200 rounds in one range session a lot? I didn’t think it was but I could be wrong, at 200 rounds the pistol is unshootable, there is a so much lead when I clean it I get large chunks out once it loosens. On that pistol I clean after every trip to the range. When I try the CCI I hope I have better results and don’t need an hour of scrubbing after each range trip, I’ll find out this weekend. Thanks Gents

Thanks for the advice, I have some Armscor LRN and some CCI mini mags, the CCI are CPRN. Does the plating matter?

Leaded Barrel
I have a Walther Tribute .22lr pistol and a Ruger 10-22 that I shoot a lot of Remington Thunderbolt through, I know, not the best but it’s cheap and fun. After 200 rounds through the .22 pistol the barrel is so leaded that the bullet starts to tumble, I have tried running CPRN through every 5th mag but it still fouls around 200 rounds, then it’s an hour of scrubbing. What is odd is, I shoot the same ammo through the 10-22 and can put 200 rounds through easily in one session and no lead in the barrel. Both barrels are chrome plated. Has anyone else experienced this? All I can think of is the shorter and much lighter barrel on the pistol heats up faster and the lead sticks. It turns into a major barrel cleaning after each range trip.

shooters being sold ??
Majority ownership has definitely changed, my last purchase there had to be picked up before a certain date because the ffl license was changing to the new owner. Haven’t been in since, if it turns out to be false I’m not sure I would continue purchasing firearms there, don’t feel like supporting the new owner.

Immediate wear on Beretta 92X barrel?
How do you like your PDP? Loving mine, didn’t think I would like a Red dot on a pistol, at first it was frustrating, almost like learning to shoot all over again, but once muscle memory kicked in and I could find the dot fast and accurately it became a wonderful shooter.

Ouch, My free Walther plate was received 4 days after hitting the enter button.

shooters being sold ??
Majority ownership was sold from what I heard, also heard from two ffl’s it’s getting knocked down. So a house of worship can be constructed. Hope I am wrong, heard this a few months back. Frigging sad if it happens.

First Revolver
The sights really are the only weakness on the pistol, have been looking at the meprolight adjustable Tritium for it. 1911’s are my weakness… Have a Kimber, Springfield Armory and a Colt, the toss up when I bought the GP 100 was between it and the new Springfield Armory Emissary he had in stock.

First Revolver
More enjoyment than I imagined, 38sp is the main round I practice with, and break out the .357 when the mood strikes. One thing I notice is, the pistol gets dirty quickly, cleaning is part of the hobby for me so it isn’t an issue. I imagine a 4” barrel in my future.

First Revolver
Picked up my first revolver for Xmas, a Ruger GP-100, can’t believe what I had been missing out on, 6” barrel with the molded Hogue grip, sights are lacking but seems there are a few nice Tritium options out there. Running 38special it shoots like a .22lr pistol, .357mag, well, it’s just a pleasure. Very accurate even with the lacking sights. Another caliber of ammo I need to stock up on now… Sigh… Dave, picked it up from Chris when we did the transfer, he also had a few nice 1911’s that caught my eye.

Pretty good Walther PDP commercial
Not the normal commercial that’s for sure, it should be played during the Super Bowl. Im in the same boat Krdshrk, no mags to be found for the full size. It is a sweet shooter though, after the red dot installation, it has been somewhat of a new learning curve getting use to it.

Any fun next handgun suggestions?
Any .22lr pistol or revolver, picked up the Walther Tribute 1911 rail gun and it is a lot of fun to shoot, have it paired with a Ruger 10/22, a day of shooting for 20 bucks. Can’t beat it.

Updated pic of our little family
The 92x performance is the easiest pistol to shoot, follow up shots are super easy, it’s weight plays a big factor. Love the sights. If you haven’t handled one yet do so, the weight is quite a bit. The included full back strap is like having glue on your hand. My LGS had a colt Delta Elite in stock two weeks ago, it’s on my short list.

SOLD
Dave, I’m leaving for NC Saturday, spending the week, following weekend I’ll be away also, but the next I’ll be back and will PM you if the rifle is still available, would like to come to you and take a look. Good Luck with the sale, although I do hope it doesn’t sell. Marty

What can't you get or hard to find
Overhead garage doors -14 weeks Trying to do an end of year Hi-Lo order, one company quoted 66 week lead time, second company quoted 32 week lead time. In September I ordered 2 new roofs for two of our buildings, one building is 132,000 sq ft the other is 100,000 sq ft, no small order, was told maybe February-March for delivery, who installs a roof in the middle of winter. Dock levelers, none exist in the USA, I have had to look to Canada for any inventory. Propane! There is plenty of propane, the problem is they have no drivers to deliver the tanks.

Fake NRA mail?
My wife still uses AOL mail. I was going to say the same thing, not asking for money or to buy silver.
