    Looking for information/opinions of the 10/22 Tactical

    OK, thanks. I do not see any replies that make me hesitant to buy a 10/22 with the 16 inch barrel.

    Looking for information/opinions of the 10/22 Tactical

    Never owned a 10/22. Looking at the tactical model with 16" threaded barrel. What kind of accuracy would you expect with this gun? I would not expect it to shoot like a 40X, but if it did not shoot as good as my old Ruger Mark 1 bull barrel pistol I would be disappointed. Opinions? Thanks.

    Tips on taking great gun pictures!

    How about some tips on how to post pics on the forum? My computer savy son was just here and we worked for at least an hour trying to figure out how to do it. Created a Flickr account and put some photos from my computer onto the flicker account, but we cannot get them to show up on a forum post.

    New Super GP-100

    Thanks much. I was just doing some more reading in the revolver forum here and found a thread on the rimlock. I am surprised I have not heard of this on other forums I visit daily. Still reading, but I am curious as to what Ruger's "fix" is for this problem. I have an early (-4) 7 shot S&W L...

    New Super GP-100

    Please explain the "crowding" problems to me. I have not heard anything about this, and the 7 shot .357 GP100s are still listed in their catalog. Thanks.

    Need GP100 10mm cylinder length with case chambered.

    Did the calculation, and that bullet in the the magnum case would take it right to the end of the cylinder. Looks like I will have to use a shorter nose. This is on Mountain Molds bullet design program. Need a few thousandths of clearance for safety factor. Thanks again for the information.

    Need GP100 10mm cylinder length with case chambered.

    Thanks Groo. I had read about converting 10mm revolvers to 10mm Magnum many years ago when S&W first introduced the 610. But, as with many ideas, I did not pursue it. Now with the Rugers available it again looks tempting. I'm not clear on why you think case tension would be a problem. One of...

    Need GP100 10mm cylinder length with case chambered.

    GP100 10mm owners: I need a favor from someone who has the 10mm GP100 revolver. I need to know the overall cylinder length from the back of a cartridge case to the front end of the cylinder. Jeff Quinn listed the cylinder length as 1.56" in his article, but I need to know the overall length...

    Redhawk 45 Colt VS 45 ACP/45 Colt ?

    Thanks for the info. I went to Gunbroker and there are both models listed and I did find one 5032 with pics of the actual gun instead of a stock pic, and I can see the difference between that one and the newer 5050. Some of them list the 5032, but the stock pic is obviously the 5050. Probably...

    Redhawk 45 Colt VS 45 ACP/45 Colt ?

    Thanks for the reply. Finally got the search function to work. Apparently another difference between the 2 revolvers is the newer one has a sleeved barrel, which is in itself a point of controversy with some people.

    Redhawk 45 Colt VS 45 ACP/45 Colt ?

    Is one preferred over the other? I see the 45 ACP/45 Colt is cut for moon clips, therefore is seems to me that the 45 Colt case rims will not sit flush against the cylinder where the chambers are cut out for the clips. Any problems with that? And why can't I use the forum search function at...
