It might be reasonably accurate as well as not very loud if rifled to optimize a heavy (60+ grain) .22 bullet loaded maximum. The action has no reciprocation and so would be a click. Pull-ring for a second strike on the primer? Second shot would be a second pistol (which is unlikely). The action might be inspired by a gopher trap. If folks are reduced to this, it's probably a generation past digging up the rifles.

You can spend more on a mag-fed .22 with a more convenient scope-mount system and precision stick, but I betcha it's way heavier. The limitations of the cartridge make me want to stick to adjustable peep sight for cheapness and durability. You aren't going to be shooting at 200M+, more likely 10-80M where you just need one good eye.

The only single shots in any caliber that I’m aware of are bolt actions, falling/rolling blocks, and the break action. In the case of the break action, I can see it being less accurate than the others. But if you’re talking about ranges of a few hundred yards or less, I doubt that you would notice much of a difference in accuracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-85010039396669368512018-08-03T15:48:52.079-07:002018-08-03T15:48:52.079-07:00“A single shot is way less accurate than a bolt”
...“A single shot is way less accurate than a bolt”<br /><br /><br />I’m not sure if I’m following you Jim? My very first .22 was a single shot bolt action. The only other single shot .22’s that I’m aware of would be either a rolling block, or maybe a break action. In the latter case, with the break action, I could see that as being the case. But the rolling block would probably be just as accurate as a bolt action.

I think that the only gun that I had a part break on was my 1978 Stevens 12ga single shot. The hammer appears to have been cast, and the spur snapped off one day. But I had shot the hell out of it up until that point. Now by the time that 1978 had rolled around, you were starting to see shoddy workmanship on guns. My Stevens shotgun also had a plastic trigger guard and a barrel release. But to be fair, it was high impact plastic, and to this day it’s still intact.<br /><br />I suppose that my advice would be to stay with something simple if at all possible. Something like a single shot will have less moving parts. A revolver such as the Ruger single action, uses coil springs, as opposed to the flat springs that the old Colts, and many others use (which break a lot). Never had a problem with a Ruger single action.

One of the few guns now this is possible with. But although easy to fix and cheap, it is also easy to break so I wouldn't be comfortable without at least one gun and two complete parts kits ( with two minor kits with most wearable items ). When I started buying Enfields it was cheaper buying another gun instead of spare parts. The good old days.

First of all, get a set of basic tools to do an "armorer" disassembly for deep cleaning and repair. Get exploded diagram showing how things go together, so you don't mis-re-assemble while tired. The US Army manuals are really good for this because they are aimed at teaching the least-adept of their acceptable recruits (which is you when tired-hungry-stressed). The Army compatibility, accessories, and training manuals make models like M-9 (Beretta 92xx) and M16 (AR-15) more useful than they seem on initial use. Things that break are moving things like trigger groups, bolt- parts, handles, magazines, releases, gas tube, stock (epoxy?), and their associated springs/screws/pins. Imagine dropping small parts in a crushed gravel driveway and trying to find them in the dark with a headlamp (while needing to pee and having hostiles nearby). This is why we use a pan and a scarf over the work area, and have spares of tiny and springy things. <br /><br />If you can't afford gun #2, at least get some packs of spare parts for The Gun. You may luck-out and find a broken gun that can be fixed by your parts (whooo-hoo, second gun!), or be able to fix your not-very-broken gun. <br /><br />I like the Ruger Mk3 pistol, with an aftermarket takedown kit. It is a little heavy, with the bull barrel. Ruger SR-22 is a great little toy pistol, that I have not yet figured how to disable the magazine disconnect on. Both are accurate-light-handy, with expensive 10-round-only magazines. <br /><br />pdxr13<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-83363065701177865242018-08-02T18:33:06.176-07:002018-08-02T18:33:06.176-07:00@ Anon 4:22 "rack of AR-15s"

It'd been 10 years since I went to a show and apparently the entire world, including gun shows, has went completely retard, so I doubt I'll ever go again. I am a member of InGo a statewide gun club and they frequently have people selling parts but every time I see a decent lower it is gone in seconds. <br /><br />But yeah Jim, I'm gonna look into that 80% lower stuff. FWIW, Amer Digest had a link to this place today and I downloaded a couple hundred MB's of files for "printing" the parts.

These two are probably the most common chambering out there, and even if you go into a small town store with very limited ammo options, they will at least have these two rounds. I’ve also come across many more .22 and 12ga hulls in the field, then any other caliber, but be sure that the plastic still has its pliability prior to attempting a reload. Not really big on the idea of the reloading kit for the .22LR, but some states (such as the leftwing shithole that I reside in) have placed restrictions on buying ammo. In this latter scenario, the .22 reloading kit might not be such a bad idea. <br /><br />The .22 is not an ideal defense round by any means, but neither was the old .41 rimfire used in the old timey derringers, and carried by the gamblers, ladies, and others of the day, that wanted a low key EDC option. Perhaps you weren’t as worried about being killed outright, but it didn’t matter, because it was often a death sentence by sepsis, just the same as it will be post apocalypse.<br /><br />If you need a battle rifle round, then I’d say that the .223 is the most practical caliber due to mass availability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-74045749019071424622018-08-02T16:22:46.405-07:002018-08-02T16:22:46.405-07:00Whoa there Bison!
