Enjoying my 15-22

[revobreaker]

Had a good time on Saturday. Cant wait to get back out. I think I am going to get some of the jp yellow springs for next time and try out a hammers 3-9x40 scope I have laying around.

The targets

the brass

The rifle (wish I had of got the MOE version, I want one of those stocks!)

Do I see some .308 & .223 brass in that pickup bed? (amoungst the .22LR)

well my brother in law broke out his 30-06 to try a and poke a big hole in that orange bouncing target, but it his rifle wasn't sighted in for a range that close. And his buddy has a .17 that let a few rounds out of.

Sweet gun, what scope is that?

 

[revobreaker]

Ncstar mk iii 4x32 with quick detach and their adapter with a ncstar mini green dot.

Works well but the reticle seems a bit thick if that makes sense

I don't have any rifles yet!!

Cool. I'm thinking of plinking. I'm undecided on what I want. That's why I looked at your post. Someone said in another post, not qouted, When the SHTF you should make sure you have plenty of ammo for small game and don't worry so much about stock piling defensive ammo. Made sense to me. If the SHTF I'm heading into the woods, hopefully on some high ground.

Probably wouldn't hurt to have a good .308 or 30-06 rifle for protection from larger critters as well. Of course on the AR 15 platform I could go for the .300 BLKOUT.

I'm getting to old to consider this kinda crap.... DAMMIT!!!

IMO its a good gun for plinking. and with .22 you can stockpile so much in such a small place...speaking of which i need to pick some more up for next time!

Stockpile .22LR

Cheap too!!!

 

[revobreaker]

The ammo at least!

I find my self looking at all kinds of upgrades and tacticool junk that i dont need lol. Im gonna try and focus that money on some more rimfire weapons, thinking m&p22 pistol next

So I had an impulse buy of a cmmg 2 stage trigger....

Anyone have experience? I put it in, but its not right. The safety blocks the trigger from working the second stage.

Maybe it doesnt work for the 15-22? maybe i have the wrong one? The p/n on the package is 10293 but their website is 55CA630

I shoulda done more research, damn my impulsive-ness!

FWIW, I did the 15 minute trigger job on my 15-22 MOE. Now it's light enough that a SlideFire works with it

 

[revobreaker]

so i went with the trigger job for now.

Got some pics comparing the triggers. I suspect the safety problem has something to do with s&w milling the top of their triggers.

the s&w parts are on the right of each pic

 

[revobreaker]

Got it working! The only thing I had to do was file the safety down a little bit so it wouldnt block the trigger anymore. Everything works pretty good, hope to get some trigger time this weekend if the rain holds off
