    Finally addressed the baffling lack of a .22 pistol in my small collection.

    Volquartsen Accurizing Kit ordered. With this taken care of I shall now focus on setting up my 10/22 Target Lite. New stock and scope.

    Pittsburg PD goes part-time and won’t respond to non in-process calls overnight

    Bar from prosecution for anybody that kills anyone committing a felony. Criminals would go extinct. Decriminalize homicide of felons in today's parlance.

    The Volquartsen bolt did indeed do the trick. The Ruger runs like a raped grape ape now. Went through a brick of ammo and other than 3 failures to fire, which I figure to be due to typical rimfire hijinks, it cycled flawlessly. Ammo used was some old federal gameshocks and a few boxes of GECO.

    Proper gun terminology in a news report

    Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

    Volquartsen Competition Bolt with all the Volquartsen bolt goodies installed. It's an older style they had on clearance at $100 discount. Something about retaining slot at the front of tge bolt being smaller on tge new ones. Now I just have to wait for their trigger kit to get back in stocks...

    Cycles much, much smoother and goofy as it looks the plunger is indeed easier to manipulate. Hopefully this also solves the cycling issues.

    Is there a more beautiful wood for grips than rosewood? They feel wonderful in the hand too, an improvement over the slim style factory grips. Altamont is selling these for peanuts, if you catch them in the middle of a production run that is.

    I ordered the Competition bolt from Volquartsen. They had a a clearance on new stock of an older version for a $100 discount so I got that, it's the black DLC version though, no pimpin' gold for the Ruger now. The trigger kit is out of stock at tge moment however so I'll get back to that...
