Living in Maryville (TN), I carry two. Both are either H&K .45's or 1911 in .45
One of them is in case I run into an idiot out of Knoxville and the other is for when I run
into an idiot from Murfreesboro.....

Does anyone have one of those Winchester Rangers to do a direct comparison to a 9422. I know that, since the 9422 is the best lever .22 ever made, that it will not be as good, but I am wondering if they are still decent rifles.
The only info I have on the new Ranger is what I have seen on YouTube.
Looks like a good rifle, with a finish not as good as the 9422. The Ranger also has the aluminum receiver but all the other parts are
mentioned as steel. Of the video's I've seen, I didn't like the wood much..... but in one video, a Winchester rep stated that the
Ranger could become available later with some upgrades, such as nicer wood.
I would love to see one with nice wood, checkering, and without a barrel band. I've always preferred an 'end cap' on the forearm
instead of a barrel band. Just my preference.

Thanks

WK,
WOW.....you got some super nice .22's.
I've owned (past tense) a High-Standard Victor and the Browning .22 semi auto (tubular, 'hump back' model).
I let the .22 Browning go because it had a funny sounding 'metal to metal' sound every time I shot it.
I let the HS Victor go because I'm stupid. My favorite .22 semi auto is the S&W model 41. At the time,
I couldn't keep guns that weren't my favorites so I let the Victor go for another model 41.
Better known as my 'Age of Regrettability'.......

Probably one of the 'nicest' rifles I've owned and shot is the Winchester 9422. All steel and just a really good .22 lever.
The fastest and slickest rifle I've owned is a modified Henry, notably called the Widder 'Soft Stroke'.
Its a 'refined' action with a shorter lever arch (the short stroke is 1.25" shorter on the lever arch))
and if the shooter is
capable of running it, it will run 10 shots in under 2 seconds.
The icing on the cake is also having the 'Slater' trigger job. Very precise....and super nice.
Call Slater about getting one from him already set up. He is a fellow Cowboy shooter, gun dealer and gunsmith.
He lives in E.TN. His business number is published at: 865 / 591-5129.
I am retired from gun work and Slater now does the 'Soft Stroke' mods.

as stated above..... use em.
I was told by CCI and another primer maker a few years back that Magnum primers are not necessarily hotter,
but rather they have a slightly longer 'flash' time, which helps ensure complete powder burn.
I use them ALL the time in all my stuff.

Just like in the picture above, TN Williams shot out his T.V. playin. with his Ruger Vaq.
YES...he knew it was loaded. He was just mad at his T.V. and was a little irritated with
Ben Cartwright.

Well, hot diggity dog. Its good to see ya back on the Wire and hopefully, getting better each day from those health issues.
Although I never left the Wire portion, my open heart surgery kept me from shooting a few years back for about 2 years.
BUT, I managed to get back and enjoy the shooting part.
Here's wishing you well in your recovery. And a big 'thanks' for updating us.

BUT.... what if these missing people were ALIEN's and were suddenly called home?
So, instead of being alien abducted..... they were alien visitors. Could be why they were so smart and knew about
nuclear stuff, etc.....
Do some of you actually believe that some of our Cowboy shooters are human?

TW and I were discussing some of the latest news on the phone, both of us using our 'speaker' mode.
We talk about Iran, taxes, some Biblical stuff and lots of gun talk.
THEN.....TW tells me about these Nuclear Scientist that have started missing or dying the past few months. And he was getting concerned
and worried it might be 'Alien' abduction related.
He believes that stuff......... and I don't.
THEN... from his end of the phone line, I hear this sweet woman's voice, sounds like a voice of wisdom...maybe his wifey.
SHE says...... "those missing people were all Smart, well educated, super intelligent people. I don't think YOU have anything
to worry about".
(I bet you didn't expect to see that one coming).
Hey, ya can't make this stuff up.

The ONLY time TW was ever humbled was a couple summers back when he got attacked by a wasp.
He moaned and cried on the phone for over a week about that itsy bitsy sting. And during the whole time,
told his wife that if she would go get him a DQ nanner split, it would probably make him feel better.
Of all the nerve.
TW never even heard of the word 'Humble' until he misspelled.....'Bumble' bee!

Y'all have probably already heard this.
Ole TW had a bad problem with ringing in his ears. So he took that new medicine called 'LIPO'.
At the same time, his wife bought some new shampoo for him that enhances hair growth.
His ear ringing stopped........ but now he can't hear nothing for all the hair growing in his ears.

Hopefully, we 'WCU'....."WON'T SEE YOU"..... ")
SOME folks are better off being seen than heard.....and some folks are better off if even they ain't seen!
Somehow, ole TW fits into both categories......
P.S. - he still owes me money!

H.K.
sounds like a timing issue.
This can be 'reset', based on the OAL of your ammo.
I would send it to Slater (Eric Slater, Cowboy shooter and gunsmith). If he can't get your timing correct, he'll call me and
I'll go over to his house and we will both go crazy getting it fixed...
His business number is: 865 / 591-5129
Here's you a little test before sending it.
Load up some dummy rounds that are a few .000's longer than your present rounds that are causing jamming issues.
With longer rounds, you shouldn't get those jams.
It appears your timing is 'slow' and needs to be increased just a tad.... and Slater can do that.

My limited understanding is that a new barrel and 24# plus recoil spring are required.
And yes, .45 ACP mags will be the correct mags to use.
I also presently shoot a 10mm AND a couple 460 Rowlands. The Rowlands are darn nice..... and powerful.
And so far, they (all 3 of them) have been very reliable.
And all of them are set up on the 1911 frame.
Its because I like the 10mm, the 40 SUPER intrigues me and I'm tempted to get one.

The .40 SUPER is a .45 ACP 'size' case necked down to .40 (or 10mm). Starline makes brass and its officially called
.40 Super and not 10mm Super.
Yes, it is a bottle neck case.
Basically, it is a very hot 10mm round and can be set up in Glocks and 1911's.

I wonder how many people routinely carry two guns?

I GOOGLED the question concerning multiple handgun carrying in TN and it stated that....YES, multiple handguns can
be legally carried as long as the person meets the state legal carry guidelines.
