Thanks Vince. Slim was nice enough to send me his to try.

You guys are pretty great if I may say so myself.

I'll let you guys know how it works on the grandpa gun.

BTW Guys. I just picked up an antique Remington Model 550 .22 auto from my sister. It was left with her by her exhusband, who she repeatedly asked to come pick it up and he just abandoned it. So, she gave it to me. Needs a butt plate which I have found locally and he apparently did a stock refinish which is pretty terrible. But alas, it was free. I love free. It's drilled and taped for scope base...I just gotta figure out WHICH scope base.

NEW PROJECT!

Sounds like a good chance to practice refinishing stocks!

well as promised here's my new carbine-
S&W M&P 15-22, MOE (magpul orig. equipment).
has a lot of neat features, i added a red-dot and a matching magpul RVG on the rail. stock, grip, MBUS flip-up knock-off sights etc are all magpul from the factory. comes with a match barrel too, or so they say, for what that's worth. just picked it up today. sorry for the fuzz and stuff. aint cleaned it yet, cant with one hand in a sling cuz of my shoulder repair. was about all i could do to get the rvg and dot on there. first shooter i ever got i aint taken right out and fired up. i cant wait to run the sim-courses with it. might be a while though. dang it! im diggin this thing. been a spell since i dragged out the red carpet too so chambered should be excited about that.

submitted for your approval :

grip, super comfy, abmi QD swivel in background. ooops, i left the grip hatch open...just noticed that beaver tail dont snug up all the way to the reciver...hmm....guess these aint all that AR like after all, comfy grip none the less :

nice butt...gott work real hard at accidentally popping the stock adjuster loose for LOP:

end of flash hider is sealed so no snaggy in the weeds:

Wow an assault 22lr!!
Seriously, wont it be a bit of overkill with the flash hider?
can't remember seeing flash on the muzzle of a 22 lr rifles ???

very nice Im sure the bunnies will apreciate the flash suppressor...

im countin on it! ya read my mind El, cant wait to chase some jacks and crows and such with it. it handles great, mounted it a bunch when i registered it prior to surgery, super nice feel. the flash hider is a little odd but it came with same so...oh well. cant wait to take it for a walk-about, esp at night with my streamlight on it. my 22's are gonna be go-to for quite a spell till im 100% again.

But it's not shiny !!!

im not wiersey either! im allowed to have dark guns.

Nice AR 22, stovey! They sure are making it more and more like the AR-15. I bought mine when they first came out and it had fewer features. Yep, the beaver-tail on the grip doesn't match up but it works just fine. I have put more rounds down range with this gun than any other and I've had it less than a year. You should look to pick up the shorter 10-round magazines for convenience shooting of the bench or prone. You might add your experiences with it to this thread.

The mini-me of ARs

the shorter mag is a great idea. im not wild about a 30rd long 10rd mag...
