  1. I'm selling a youth-size (12 LOP stock, 16" barrel) bolt-action 22LR rifle, CZ 452 Scout.

    It was my son's and my daughter's first rifle, but they quickly graduated into semi-auto Ruger. They have fired about 300-500 rounds through this rifle no issues, never a failure!

    It's been in my safe for the last ten years; now it's time for someone else to enjoy it. This is a rare small-size bolt action rifle built without any cheap parts, all the same quality as full-size CZ rifles

    It is in excellent condition, with no rust, no metal damage, and only a few scuffs on the stock from being in the back of the safe.  It comes with a Bushnell 1.5-4.5x32 scope and a 10-round magazine. The original box is included.  

    shipped FFL to FFL in the US - $400 or local pickup for $350 in the Chicago area

    Did you cut the notch in the sight blade deeper or did you cut the steps in the elevator lower? I be curious.

     

    I cut the notch deeper.  if not enough, might have to cut the elevator steps

     

  3. Ok... it's not for SASS then... it's to put a stupid grin on my face everytime I shoot it with a full power 44 mag in the indoors range...

     

    And to be my truck gun in case they will prohibit everything black and semiautomatic

  4. Almost a year ago, I had a stupid idea of getting a mare leg lever in 44 mag and turning it into SBR.  Took me a few tries to get the stamp - it was denied twice for some unspecified reason, but finally stamp is here, stock is on, and it is as much fun as I expected!  

     

    It was shooting way too high, so I had to use a Dremel on the rear sight... the 20" 1873 rifles are for size comparison. :)

     

     

    BTW, I don't think SBRs are prohibited for SASS competition, are they?  I am thinking of taking it to the match and shooting a stage or 2 :)

  5. Average Joe! Congrats on becoming a SASS merchant!  

     

    I can vouch for him and his tool being above average! :)  I love mine! It reduced my shotgun fumbles... now, can you come up with something that will make me shoot a clean match?

     

    See you in spring, Joe!

  6. I had a console vault before IL had concealed carry and kept my gun there.  Now I don't see the point - the gun is always on me, and when I am not in the truck, it's also not in the truck.  I set up a "gun case" in the under-rear seat storage bin in my new truck - but that's just to store the guns on the way to the range.  when I am at the big shoot - guns are coming to the hotel room.

    Screenshot from the twitter post referenced in the article.

     

    There were 68, 992 registered firearms owned by 29,357 Illinois residents but only 528 of the people claim to have ammunition for the firearms?  Is this correct or were only specific types of rounds to be registered?

     

    68,992/29,357 is 2.35 firearms per person

    528/29,357 is ~1.8% of those residents are able to make their metal pieces go bang?

    only 50bmg ammo needs to be disclosed

    Several Lustrum ago, when we went thru the Out Of Battery Discharge fiasco, Uberti changed the geometry relationship between the Firing Pin Extension Rod and the Hammer.  This was done to prevent using your face to stop the extension rod in an OOB incident.  Then Uberti changed the method of retaining the Extension Rod in the action.  If you have a rifle with the small retaining pins to retain the Extension Rod, DO NOT FOOL WITH IT to make it east to remove the rod. 

     

    in my rifle it is a wedge that goes into the bolt and the extension rod, that is held by the same pin that attaches the toggle arms to the bolt

    That's weird.  There should be just enough room to tip the bolt down and roll it out.  I can do this on my short, saddle, and carbine rifles.

     

    Ah ha!  Are you working on a 45?  I'm referring to 357s so that may be the difference.  I'll need to clear a spot on the bench and see if this works with my 45.  Seems like I still didn't need to remove the lower tang or stock on that one either, but it's been a while since I messed with it.

     

    no, that's a 38... Maybe I was not persistent enough.  will try it next winter :)

    You're not taking the stock off to remove the bolt, are you?  If so, that's not necessary.  Granted, it's still a bit of work to get the rest of the stuff out of the way but you don't need to pull the stock or lower tang to get the bolt out.

     

    Actually, yes, I do.  I tried to wiggle the bolt out without removing the hammer and couldn't... so I remove the lower tang.  is there another way?

    Take the gun apart. Take the bolt out. Use whatever cleaner you like to soak the bolt in. Wiggle the extractor up and down with your finger, then blow the crap out with an air compressor. I use a pipe cleaner to clean out the firing pin channel. I have never taken the extractor out to clean under it.

    If the bolt is out of the rifle - it takes extra 5 min to take the extractor out - I have the jig and the punch and the length of the heat treated wire for replacement pins...makes it easy

     

      it's getting the bolt out of the rifle, what takes time and patience :)

  12. Every year, towards the end of the season, the extractor in my rifle collects enough grime underneath to start affecting the rifle action. It is an aftermarket heat-treated one, so the extractor doesn't need replacement, and after I disassemble the rifle each winter, take the bolt out, knock the pin out, and clean under the extractor, it is all good for almost all year.  I clean my rifle every few matches but usually don't take it fully apart during the season.   

     

    I was wondering if there was some way to keep it clean under the extractor - some preventive care without the need to strip the gun completely down? Something quick after a few matches? some magic cleaner that would dissolve it all?
