And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Yes. Go out in the Nevada desert with at the very least that much ammo. Fun times!
I guess 400 rounds is fun if you don't shoot much. 30-50 a couple of times a week is about my attention span and plenty of practice to nail a rabbit at 50 yards with my revolver.
I bet those new generation Ruger .22's are pretty good. I had a MK-I as my very first pistol and had nothing but trouble with it feeding. Sold it and bought a S&W 622 that digests any brand I run in it. She's got a lot of miles on her and still functions like new. https://i.postimg.cc/nLVWvFfp/20170319-150552.jpg - WDS (and no, it's not for sale)
Have a Mark 3, the lawyer-ed up version. Great shooter. Thousands of rounds through it. Never do much more than lube and run a patch down the barrel. It will jam occasionally but is great for what it is for.
I have a MK-II. After two magazines of leadhead ammo I have to run some Hoppes #9 and a copper brush through it or it will start jamming. I don't have that problem with FMJ or JHP ammo.
The Ruger 22 is a great pistol but cleaning a Mk I, II or III can be a total pain in the neck. There are a number of videos on youtube regarding how to reassemble it. I had to vigorously use a soft faced hammer to separate the barrel from the receiver on my Mk II and again to reassemble it. The problem was so widespread that Ruger redesigned the receiver to make it easier to break down and reassemble and called it the Mk IV. Al_in_Ottawa
I have a mark 3 lawyer version. I dont recommend it , the nanny safety stuff is troublesome and , i learned you can insert the mag backwards, and it gets jammed on the "wont fire with an empty magwell" gizmo, and you have to buy a special tool to get it back out.
and I learned that you never ever disassemble it . you will spend hours and perhaps days, trying to get it back together. mine gets carb cleaner or electronic cleaner or rem-oil and a few drops of oil and back in the safe. but its very accurate, If I have something rest my hand on, I can hit just as good with it as a 10-22
yup, have a mark II just like that one myself. very accurate.
ReplyDeleteJust don't think about shooting in califukya.
ReplyDeleteI shot my first Appleseed in Socal. About 500 rounds of .22. Then at the end of the day let the M1 bark a few clips.

Why I’m a revolver fan myself. What u lose in capacity u gain in simplicity
DeleteA Smitty Victory sits in my safe
ReplyDeleteOh, you youngsters and your upstart Rugers and Smith-Wessysons.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's a High-Standard Sport King all the way.
23² = 529. That's a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteAll I have heard, from many sources, is the Mk I is a great shooter and very accurate.
My Mark IV is very accurate.

ReplyDeleteI have an Excel Arms Accelerator 22 mag. But I can't afford the bullets for it.

ReplyDeleteIver Johnson snub nose .22 revolver. Accurate out to 10 ft.
ReplyDeleteColt's Huntsman, old Browning Challenger, or old S&W 622...and a few bricks, but not all at once, too much. Then light off a few with flints.

If you're shooting that much, get a mag loader.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise your thumb will tire long before your trigger finger does.
Israelis are allowed to own a weapon and maximum of 50 rounds of ammo. Imagine how well trained they are...
