Newbie looking for first purchase

[The Watcher]

I'm getting ready to buy some guns. My first purchase in years. So, I have two questions I hope you can help with.

I can not make up my mind about a .22 semi-auto rifle. I'm torn between a Remington 597, a Ruger 10/22, and a Savage 64 GXP. I only want one .22 rifle.

The other area is concerning Maryland law and the number of guns you can buy. I'd also like to buy a .22 semi-auto pistol too. But, I don't really know if I have to wait a month or can I do both.

Ruger 10/22 good choice and lots of toys available for them. Should be cash and carry. So you can get the 22 pistol at same time and just wait for the pistol to be not disapproved.

What I've read about the 597 vs 10/22 is that 597 is better out of the box and 10/22 is better when it's been modified. I am going to be buying a 22 myself sometime after October and I'm on the fence myself between those and the Martin 60. Though for my purposes I'm probably going to go with the 10/22 due to the large amount of aftermarket toys.

Right now I'm leaning towards the 10/22. Not because of the toys. It just seemed slightly better made. But, that is only by a small margin.

I have a marlin 60 - great shooter just more of a "traditional" not "tactical" rifle. Used to be #1 22lr before 10/22 introduced from what I've heard. Marlin 60 is tube fed which differs from magazine fed 10/22 so can take a little bit longer to reload.

Pimpmaster 10-22. And S&W 22a multi barrel setup.

Don't know much about 22 since I only own a H&K 416 pistol on that caliber. As far as MD law, you can buy 2 at the same time and the dealer will indicate "dealer's discount" on the paperwork. I advise you to apply for a MD Designated Collector's permit now so that you can bypass the 1 a month wait which literally is now 3 months with all the backlog.

Add a suppressor and that is exactly what I want.

Never saw a 22 with a bayonet - I guess you keep stabbing and pulling the trigger at the same time? Nice rig or should I saw pimptastic?

I did decide

I did finally decide on the Ruger 10/22 takedown over the Remington and Savage.

It wasn't all the "toys" but the quality and feel in my hands that made my choice.

Oh, if you get a "new" Dick's credit card they give you 10% off that days purchases. That is what made me decide yesterday.

I'll probably be following your footsteps this fall.

10/22 Takedown is a great choice! Have fun!

I'm waiting for Ruger to send me a mount for my telescopic sight. It is on back order. It would be nice if they had rings that would be able to use the 10/22 scope mount. Even if their prices for rings are outrageous.

I recently bought a Sig Sauer Mosquito. Ten more weeks and she should be all mine.

Buy an aluminum hunting arrow, remove the tip and fletching. Now you have a speedloader.

I have a friend up in NH who did this, and while you still have to load the arrow by hand, it's a lot less troublesome than loading the rifle itself.

Gun Connection has a WASR on consignment (no not mine) for like $1600, was there yesterday

You must've not been around in February. It was crazy.

I've been to Continental Arms again today. Tried out the Smith & Wesson M&P 9 and a Springfield 1911 9mm.
I think it must be me. But, I haven't really noticed much difference in recoil from one 9mm to another.

the gun shop in essex had an ak on consignment up there yesterday. probly not there anymore but worth a shot

 

[Bafflingbs]

Now I know half of you are probably rolling your eyes, but oh well. I'm new to the forum at the suggestion of a coworker. I am looking specifically for an AK-style rifle, preferably in the 7.62x39mm variety. I saw one at Scotts and was hoping to go put money down today but I see that someone has already purchased it :-(

I have checked at all the places around Glen Burnie and nobody seems to have anything for less than around $2,000. Has anybody seen anything that is worth checking out? Thanks in advance. (Mods if this post is in the wrong category, then feel free to move it)

I'll sell you my Yugo pap for $1999.
