Here is mine Savage 99 in 300 Savage.
I was lucky to have stocked up on ammo and plenty of components before the pandemic

That is a nice looking 99.

Love the Springfield M6, I have one myself, I removed the trigger guard to get it to close up a little more so it would fit into an external pocket on my Eberlestock pack. Perfect to have along on those summer high mountain lake fishing trips.

This one is made by TPS Arms. I had a Springfield m6 in stainless I bought new in a gunshop for 218 dollars quite a few years ago. Later after Springfield quit making it I sold it at a gunshow for 500 dollars. I have also thought of taking the trigger guard off but decided it was about as easy to take the hinge pin out for the same purpose.

Isn’t someone else making it now? I’d love one in the 22 Hornet/410 but those guys are higher than heck!

I do know TPS makes one in 22 hornet over 410 and yes, they are kinda pricey. Not sure anyone else makes one at this time.

The company I was thinking of is Chiappa, is that TPS?

Here is one of mine. It's a Walmart Hatfield with Chaszel rifle barrel inserts. I did some surgery on it to make it fold tighter by trimming the pistol grip from the stock, shortening the barrel and grinding the trigger guard which is the opening lever. The inserts are 30-30, 9mm, .357 magnum and 45ACP. I have 2 shotguns set up like this. One in 12-gauge and one in 20-gauge. I also have a Henry AR7 that is kept close to this setup so I have a good selection of calibers for any occasion.

I kinda' like a Marlin 39TD for a 22LR, and I wouldn't hesitate to rely on my new Ruger PC Carbine for things requiring more oomph than the rimfire.

I replaced the AR-7 with the Mossberg 500.

And in the process ended up creating The Perfect Jeep Gun.

Do you get any accuracy from the inserts? Are they rifled?Is one caliber a better performer than the others?

The accuracy isn't bad. With the 30-30 insert you could take a deer at 100 yards. The pistol calibers are also fairly accurate. It's not a target grade firearm but it is good for the intended purpose

I would like to get a Stoeger Condor Outback and set it up with the Chaszel inserts. I think that might be a little more versatile but the nice thing about the Walmart Hatfield is that it folds into a very compact size. I have a way to carry it without having it known that I had it on me. The only way it would be found out is if I had to go through a metal detector or was thoroughly frisked. Here is the 20-gauge version with the 30-30 insert. It folds close enough that it can be carried in a toolbox or even a brief case. It's nice to be able to keep something like this handy and accessible. A 20-gauge is plenty of shotgun for this purpose. You ain't gonna fight a war with this setup but you have enough gun to handle almost every situation if the need arises

I looked up Chiappa and saw they do make one. I wasn't aware of that. But TPS is a different company.

For a takedown the AR-7, but looking at a Ruger 10/22 takedown.

 

[Actnbill]

I had an old Charter Arms AR-7 and it was a Jam-O-Matic...... I hope Henry makes them better today

Out of curiosity, how many rounds did you put through it before condeming the AR-7? Mine was problematic at first. but once I shot it enough to smooth it out, and found the ammo it liked reliability was on a par with any .22 lr rifle. Heck, It's better than my Marlin 39 Centenial.

Another Ruger

The Henry AR7 is much better than the Charter Arms version. The earlier Henry models would jam but they have slightly changed the chamber and now they are good as long as the barrel is screwed on tightly.

It was really old and beat up....plastic was all cracked and the finish on the metal was very worn....It would jam every 2 rounds ....It wasn't worth replacing all the plastic parts and refinishing the metal vs. buying a new one so I gave it away.....( which reminds me.... I need to buy a new Henry )

I bought a Chinese Norinco copy of the Browning for $100 back around 1989? Maybe? It’s a straight shooter. Later on I picked up an actual Browning bag/case for $20.

I have relied on a Winchester 94AE in 3030 for years. It has undergone what I refer to as incremental improvements over time. It has a scout scope mounted in front of the receiver so I can still carry it in one hand, pre-rebound hammer trigger and lower tang so the button safety does not work anymore, the trigger is much lighter and I get zero FTF like the rebounding hammer had. All of the internals were filed, sanded, stoned, reassembled and levered many times with Brasso in the action. I wanted it to be quick and loose like the 1960 model that I sold in the eighties. I have four distinctly different handloads that make this rifle pretty handy to use in most situations. I sometimes wish it had the 16 inch barrel, but the long magazine would look stupid and the short mag is not an option.

So an aluminum and plastic (yea, the barrel is lined) firearm designed for relatively limited use that has been trashed failed. Gee, I wonder why. But if that's the standard what you condem an entire model Let's condem everything, because I'm sure there are destroyed examples of every firearm that has a high failure rate.

A decently set up sub 2000 would be effective for deer to hostile people!!!
