I would love to see a semi-auto .22 that was more like a regular pistol than an updated looking Luger.

IIRC you dont run into problems with any parts of a gun till you get below -20F... At that point two things happen, one the oil can start to freeze slightly which is why the military uses a special cold weather lube. Two, the steel can get brittle and crack when the gun is fired which is why the...

Just use Hoppes. Works every time and best of all the chicks dig the smell. You will save a fortune on cologne..

Yup, I would clean the dickens out of it. I stripped and cleaned mine right in the store I bought it from.

In a sane state, a FFL will charge you $20-25. I wouldnt worry about it not being new, you will easily be able to tell because of the packaging.

sell the wife :lol:

I never have understood the concept... every time i pick up my gun, i drop the mag and rack the slide... then i put the round back in the mag, insert the mag and rack the slide... no reason to touch my gun after that except to put it away or in the extremely rare chance ill actually use it to...
