Paladin Wolf Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 My half brother past away earlier this year and I inherited most of his firearms. Sadly, none of them are useable for SASS except for a couple of 1911's that I plan to use for Wild bunch. My question is this. Among all of the hunting rifles, semi-auto pistols and double action revolvers I got, was a Colt Targetsman in 22LR. I remember my brother shooting this gun and was impressed with its ability to drive tacks all day long. I am not a Colt person and semi-autos are not my favorite type of gun but I want to shoot this because it really reminds me of Terry. I just cannot figure out how to get the damn magazine out of the gun! There is no release button that I can find and I am willing to go "DUH!" when one of you guys tells me how stupid I am when you reveal the probably very simple procedure for doing so. I really want to shoot this gun and give it the love it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Look at the bottom for a release lever at the rear of the magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 LP has it right. It's called a "heel" release because it's located at the heel of the bottom of the grip aka the butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Just like on the old Ruger Mk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Tooth Zach Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Just like on the old Ruger Mk 1 I've got an old Mk1 that I pull out every couple of years to shoot, and I swear every single time it takes me a few minutes to remember how to release the magazine.
