10/22, goto the rimfirecentral.com forums and browse all the stuff one can do with them. I think csj said once there were 155237377272127182898299 accessories one can by for the 10/22 to mold it into whatever you want.

Oh, and I saved all my brass as well as picking up about a dozen or more .30-06 cases of Lake City brass that were lying about there, Were also a bunch of 223 and 308 brass lying around as well, no one claimed or even picked 'em up. So much for policing yer areas!

I managed to get out to CJRPC GP range yesterday, and went thru a bandoleer (48rds) of HXP. Had target at 100 yd, and my beanbag type rests. Ballaparked the elevation & windage, was a slight breeze, had to change 1 click down and 1 right, but was hitting the target on all shots from sitting w/ rests. I could only scare up a 100 yd smallbore target, did get most inside 7 ring or closer and a few in the X. No issues, the Greek clips needed extra pushingdown to seat & release the oprod catch so the 1st round would get fed & bolt close, I dunno how much of that was due to newness on the coating of all the bits. I am sure it will be easier as time goes by, just had to push a little harder and hit the oprod lever. Also shot the 10/22 at the same target & figured out the bullet drop offset so I could hit that pretty well. 8-) After getting home, fieldstripped and disassmbled, left gas cylinder alone & the TG together, just wiped that with CLP and greased the one part of it. No Easy button equired, piece of cake to take apart & put back together. Cleaned outside metal with CLP on a patch. Gotta get chamber brush, next Brownells order.......Next have to do the 200yd zero, gotta get the right targets---a fun day, ended up by myself, someone canx on me, their loss. 8-)

While still on Howell--Kazu sushi & Japanese, on 9 in Howell, excellent sushi & tempura

Yup, I had heard of the Garand Guy in Rahway, and will probably make his acquaintance at some point in the future, I am sure, since he is local to NJ. As I said, I was in no real hurry, plus I had not heard of any bad experiences from CMP and also want to support that organization. It will be a shooter, I am not a collector. Will see if I can get the time to put a full bandoleer thru it Sun. Then clean, and probably order the real tung oil, for the stock. But again, no rush to refinish. I got the thing early, I guess, for a reason, and I think its to get out and shoot it! :mrgreen:

One more, with SN, Springfield, sometime in 55-57, havent dug much deeper yet

Pix, finally, sorry, have been busy---from mailing of order to CMP to recieving it at home was just about 45 days. Was gonna get a boresnake also to do cleaning with, and spare the rod as much as I can. Will try & get to shoot it Sunday---

Chris, I didn't see your posting till now, but I had my P226R in 9mm with me last nite, sorry I would have let you have a try of course. Maybe next time, or if you do join CJRPC. It has the Hogue rubber grips, if you do go the Sig route, they are very comfy. Hope you got to shoot tiny's, or maybe Daniel had one of his stable with him to loan?

The vibe I got from the fone guy was the usual " if you idiots would just do what we want you to do, the world will be a much better place" condescending crappe that control freaks like to spout. You can bet the Brady crowd is 1000% behind single payer health care as a backdoor means to gun control, banning of atvs and motorcycles as "public health issues"

Quack

OK, stop hitting on her tiny!!!

Tiny kept a poker face the whole time!

The only federal thing I wanna see anytime soon is SC incorporation of 2A.

Proof OGAM works? [citation needed]

Blah blah gun lobby, bumper sticker logic, etc. Definetely a professional mouthpiece, unlike our stout fellows tiny & Tim!

Oh boy the olde gun show loophole gah-bidge

Ooh she's cute!

Listening now!

Am hoping I can get over there, just handguns tomorrow, will hit either CJRPC or Dix Sunday aft. for M1 & 10/22, weather permitting. Dix still a mob scene? Has the pistol range been re-opened?

+1 on CLP for mags, or a squirt of gun oil on a patch

Am not waiitng anymore, I received the rifle Thu, so will be heading over to CJRPC either HP or GP range, when I can get there during daylight hrs, not this weekend. :cry: I am in Jackson, farmer. Am also member of Ft. Dix, so I could go there as well. I need to pick up some rifle targets and borrow a spotting scope so I can sight it in. Will post pix when I can, maybe later tonite or tomorrow. Did a quick wipe with oil on patch and used TW25 on the grease points, sparingly, there was little lube on it at all, some on the follower, thats about it. Came with a canvas sling, I just missed the leather sling cutoff. Ah well, I already ordered the repro buttstock cleaning kit from Brownells ( I used the NJGF clik-thru, maks)

I probably won't do any serious CMP matches anytime soon, stick with the less formal JC Garand matches at CJRPC and maybe elsewhere, till I get good. And have time :roll: Some of the people at the one I went to are serious competitors, and were quite geared up. Some of them were regulars at camp perry also. IMHO the John C Garand matches are a great cheap ($20 at CJRPC, all you need bring is yourself & eye/ear protection. Weapons, ammo, shooting jackets, mats, targets and spotting scopes provided by club included, or bring your own of course) way to try out an M1. I think CJ is done for this year with them, but will have more scheduled next year. Highly recommend, you don't need it to qualify for CMP purchase, your DD214 will suffice to show participation in a shooting activity. There will be lots of Garand gurus there to help the newbs :mrgreen:
