Re: Snakes! Snakes! Snakes!

I don't particularly like snakes. In fact, I have the same irrational fear as most people, but I certainly understand their role in the world. However, If I ever found a rattler in my (suburban) yard...

Re: Marlin 60 re-assembly-dang recoil spring!

It is a common problem with the 60 and the 795 if you're not careful. I've never bent one *knocks on wood* so I guess I've been lucky. You do have to bend the spring when reinstalling the bolt, but...

Re: Buying ammo

Bought some .22 ammo at China Mart a few weeks ago. Clerk asks if it's for a rifle or handgun, I said machine gun. He didn't bat an eye, just rang it up.

Re: 22 rifle Semi-auto choices under 200.00

M60 fanbois (that includes moi) are quick to point out that one generally has to throw a lot of bucks at a 10/22 to get it to shoot as well as a box-stock...

Re: It's been awhile "What 22LR ammo is best

Re: 22 rifle Semi-auto choices under 200.00

I have a Marlin Model 60, a 10/22, and just picked up a 795, haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. The M60 is more accurate than the 10/22. I expect the 795 will also be more accurate. Most shooters...

Re: 22mag vs. 22LR

Yup, Fusion (http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_for_plastic/). Wal Mart carries it. But a Marlin 60 has a wood stock.

Re: ruger single six mag cyl

This. 22LR has smaller diameter than 22WMR. It will go in, and it will fire, but you're asking for case failure.
