Goodbye P22, hello...

[KBScobravert]

Nice Pistola. Where are the pics with the can mounted and the range report though?

We could probably work something out.

By the way, did you ever get your chrono fixed? Was it as simple as just buying new metal archways?

Hey, hey, stop that. Simple mistake when the scope is cranked up past 12x. In good faith I bought extra rods. lol

I still have it, I can not in good faith sell a pistol that functions so poorly to someone. I may take a weekend day to take it all the way down and clean every part on the gun, polish a few things, and try to get it running well.

I don't know, you must have gotten a "Monday morning" assembled P-22. I as well as my son have shot the living fuck out of our P-22 and I can't remember when it jammed last. I remember, my son dropped the mag, and bent a small lip on the feed end.

Several thousand rounds,slow fast to as fucking fast as the trigger will pull --- not one single jam.

I do like that ruger --- gold barrel--- not so much. Did you buy local?

I want to put a can on my PMR-30 -- that would be the cat's ass.
Thx,
Randy

Yep! Working great now!

I was going to volunteer to buy it off you as a project. I have a .22 can on the way and no gun to put it on.

What happened to your P22?

I like the looks of the Ruger 22s, I just don't like the gold upper on this one.

I think they all look pretty fugly, but Ruger's decision to go gold just really pushes it over the edge into "damn, what the fuck" territory.

Hell, the thing could be pink with yellow stipes, purple grooves and pinstriping inspired by an Ed Hardy shirt and I would have still bought it over another p22.

Lol, yeah that was funny. My p22 runs ok with the can on (I assume the extra back pressure allows the slide to cycle more violently) but take that sucker off and you have a bolt action pistol.


I owned a MKII in the past and it was a great gun, and my Dad has a regular 22/45. Never in my life have I found a gun that works so well, yet is such a bitch to take down. I learned just to run a bore snake down the barrel, hit the feed ramp with a q-tip, and hit the action with some rem-oil.

Yeah that's what I do, I just clean as much as I can without tearing it down.

The tear down is easy, the reassembly in the bastard. I have two MKII's, super accurate and super reliable.

[Moose242]

I'm sure it shoots great. Too bad it's so ugly.

One thing I have learned the hard way about 22lr autoloaders is that the uglier the gun, the better that motherfucker will run.


I really really wish that guns like the Sig Mosquito and the P22 ran well, I really do, but having owned the latter and read nothing but bad things about the former I am just too skeptical of 22 pistols that look like traditional pistols.

Nice. I still have to laugh at the last time I fired your poor P22. It jammed 10 of 10 times on that one magazine.

When it's time to clean your MKIII, just sell it.

Very nice looking Ruger...

Loved my MKII back in the day. Wish I had never sold it!

Thinking of picking up a SR22 for the wife.

I bet there's a ton of people out there that would agree to this statement, they can be a bastard to tear down if not done right.
