Thanks CCC, Jeremey came over looking to buy a rifle but instead got a rifle and 2 boxes of pricey shells to go have fun with and make sure he likes it. His said he birthday was in a day or 2 so I told him happy birthday, the ammo was on me!
OK, to clear things up, yes, the thread protector that was installed factory on the Badger was to big. It had something I equait with pipe dope on the threads, then this larger thread protector was slid down on to the threads until it set up. Once I removed the protector and substance gently...
I'm not really looking to sell so I never gave it any thought. I know that sounds dumb. Jeremey read the post late but turns out he live about 3 miles from me. He swung by and I gave him the gun and 2 boxes of shells, told him to take it and shoot it for a week and tell me what it's worth. Him...
Serial# puts it as made in 2002. I'd say it's a 8 out of 10. Possibly 8.5, The Prostaff was spot on at 100 yards. This is a shoot the deer between the eyes gun if your a good shot. I'll be leaving in 1.5 hours to go up to that old Santa Rosa deer farm at 89 and 178 to shoot some different rifles...
Thanks buddy, what drew me to the Sparrow is you can disassemble it to clean it. I will try that today. I was lazy and watching football so I didn't put any time into troubleshooting. Damn thread protector I removed from the rifle don't fit the thread pattern. It had some kind of substance on...
That's a Walmart thing, not a state thing. I haven't bought a gun from Walmart in ages but here in Florida it's only 3 days unless you have a CCW, then there is no wait after the background clears. I buy new guns all the time.
I was on of the last people to submit the paper tax stamp and it took 1 year almost to the date for the ATF to release it. It is a 22 Sparrow. It's my first but after throwing some led through it in my back yard yesterday I'm in love. I started with the .22 to learn more about them and how they...
It's early Mullet but when the wife gets up moving around I have a Ruger 77/22 Hornet Collectors Edition "medallion in the stock" with scope I'll post pics of. Last time I shot it 4 or 5 years ago I shot a nickel at 100 yards using Hornaday green tips. It is a beautiful rifle. You got me...
I stumbled across a site that I ordered my .308 parts from, Wing Tactical. They were easy to work with and give LE, military and first responder discounts. I might be late to the party but there prices were in line and shipping was fast.
Welcome from Milton, FL. Sorry about your brother, I know it's hard. I lost my dad to Covid 2 years ago. He was 77 and my best friend. I was listening to old country this weekend and that Sawyer Brown song came on ''The Walk'' and I started bawling because he was in early stages of dementia...
Sorry for your troubles, I'm glad I talked myself out of not using the same upper and lower. I had a Aero ME5 lower and parts kit but was starting to get cheap looking at BCA uppers. Then I started reading on the problems because the AR-10's aren't mill spec. The good forum members here talked...
I got a #2 cable cut underground out in Jay, not far from the Tom Thumb on Chumuckla Hwy. I need to borrow or rent a cable tracer for a couple of hours if anyone can help. I don't need a toner, I have one. This cable is deep, probably 3'. It's getting about 53 volts on it while the other is...
All the property I have access to is remote, woods backing the fields that we own. I thought about building target and arranging them at the McLellan property in intervals but the land goes into farming in the spring. That's why I do mobile targets most of the time. I have plasma cutters and...
