Brownells has ProMags for $21.99. They worked well in my previous Mini-14, but don't know about current production. Last time I bought mags, I bought the bodies, followers and springs separately and assembled them myself. All factory Ruger parts, but cheaper in pieces than the prebuilt ones.

17? I couldn't grow that good of a beard at 17! What am I saying? I'm on the short side of 70, and I still can't!! Congrats on his first deer!!!

Regarding just the last sentence: 1) From what I've seen, the PIT maneuver calls for the officer to move slightly past the back bumper, then sideswipe the perp's vehicle with his front bumper, causing the perp to spin out. No push bar involved. 2) There are accessories available where they...

So, a few years ago I bought a standard RAR in .308 Winchester. The rotary magazines I bought plus the free replacement one from Ruger won't reliably feed, so I ended up replacing the magwell with one that takes AI mags. I have found a couple of loads it likes, but the one thing I hate about...

Wasn't going to add to a necro-thread, but lumbering buffalo brought it back to life, so I'll add my two cents. I picked up a 183 series Mini-14 in 2010 Sold it five years later because I just HAD to have an AR-15! Once I had it, I tinkered with it, but no matter how much I tried, I just...

Aqualung - what height replacement front sight did you get?

So, I'm planning on getting a Marlin 1894 in .38/.357. Model 70410, for those who want to look. My eyes don't see those kind of factory sights very well anymore, so I'll be putting a Williams peep sight on it. The question is: Which one? They have two that should fit, either the FP-Marlin...

I'd had a piece of birds-eye maple for about 40 years. Sometimes I'd forget where I put it, but it always turned back up. Found it again about six years ago, and decided to make replacement grips for my .45 Blackhawk Convertible. The problem was, I'd never done anything like this, and I...

I realize this thread is 3+ months old, but I had one of these about a week ago that was a bit different. A month or so ago at work I responded to a survey, a real one, by Intuit, with an Amazon gift card promised as recompense for my time. About two weeks ago, on my work e-mail, I received an...

It's probably marked as such on the gun. If it has adjustable sights it is in fact a Mark I. The Standard Model was made during the same time frame, but had fixed sights. I have a January 1958 Standard Model that was my first handgun purchase in 1986. It's older than I am.

My primary carry gun is a Ruger LCR-357. Loaded with Speer .38 Special Gold Dots for carry purposes, but I regularly practice with it. I use it frequently at bowling pin shoots (12 yards) and have fired many rounds at steel plates at 55 yards. With a roughly 12"x18" plate, I could usually hit...

Have shot both. Like both. But, given your criteria: LCR.

Hmm. I found a backwards seated primer in .45 ACP the hard way. Click instead of bang in a Bullseye match. Also WWB. Still have it. Nah, I'll keep it as a novelty item.

The Ruger is not a Mark III. Those have the mag release behind the trigger. This one has the European style heel release that came on the Standard, Mark I and Mark II models. In fact, looking at the grip screws, I think it's either a Standard or an early Mark I. Those have the lower screw...

Especially the Internet. :wink:
