Newest toy - Ruger 10/22 Carbine








Ruger's 10/22 Carbine, chambered for .22 caliber Long Rifle.

I've been looking at purchasing a .22 rifle for a while, for a number of reasons.

They're cheap - this one was under $200, and you can find others for just under $100.

They're cheap to shoot - my favorite gun, the FN PS90, fires rounds that cost about $20 per box of 50. This gun fires rounds that cost $20 per box of 500. I can stay at the range all day shooting this gun without breaking the bank.

They're fun to modify - I like tinkering around with guns. It's the same thing I enjoy about computers. Some guns, like my PS90, are too freaking expensive to tear apart and mess with. This gun is the perfect candidate to tinker with. I already have plans to replace the stock, swap out the bolt release with an automatic one, and replace the factory iron sights.

My wife and I took this to the range today and put several hundred rounds downrange. It's just a fun gun to shoot. Maybe that's why most gun owners have one.

Funniest commercial ever!

Bud-Light Swear Jar Commercial.

I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes, then I watched it again.

So NSFW.

Potter actor killed by evil, malicious knives!

STORY

One of the Harry Potter actors was killed by a young man weilding a knife. Of course, the British government blames the incident on the knives, instead of on the kid who was using the knives. The rhetoric sounds vaguely familiar. Oh, yes, that's it. Replace "knife" with "gun" and you have the anti-gun movement in the USA.

People, inanimate objects don't kill you. Psycho's kill you. You can take away guns, knives, forks, and pens from the populace, but then the criminals will still have them. And Joe the psycho from down the street? He'll kill you with a rock if he has to, he's not picky.

STAR-15 update

I spent an inordinate amount of time working on my AR-15 rifle today.



















I had to use a Dremel to cut off a lot of material from the Front Sight Base so that I could pound out the pins holding it on. Hours of Dremeling and pounding later, and I finally got it off.




















I also cut off the aluminum Delta Ring so that I can bolt on my tactical forearm. (Whenever it's back in stock and I get to order it...)

Now I have the low-profile gas block on, and I just need the bolt carrier group, charging handle, and forearms to complete the assembly.
