Ted's daily small talk

[Sir Henry]

I have a 10/22 and a CZ 455 Mannlicher. Out of the two I prefer the CZ.

Further up I already mentioned I need to stay out of the gun store.
CZ Mannlichers are fine rifles. The Ruger 10/22 is also very appealing.
My first rifle was a CZ 452. Birch stock, but real nice blueing and the action was awesome.
I didn't appreciated enough. I was in for center fire.
That's exactly why I am cautious with a 10/22.



Considering all the firearms that came thru in the last 20 years, what remains are 2 S&W revolvers, 2 1911s and the Henry Single Shot.
I thought of getting an All Weather Model. I strongly favor the pistol grip, but 45-70 is just a hump too far. That Picatinny rail is not something I have to have to start with. I am also re-drawing the original story board. Keep pistol calibers with hand guns and fire rifle calibers from a rifle.

Next week I have to go back to my favorite LGS to pick up a HK P2000 in 9mm. I couldn't pass on it, esp. since I have a few thousand rounds of 9mm stashed and no weapon for it. <<< That's another story for another day. Now, I can't believe I end up with a German gun.

I have a cheapo CZ455 (iirc) plastic-stock, threaded-barrel. Light weight, small light scope, perfect rifle for shooting with a can. I drag it out every now and then. I bought it as a predator-control night-vision rifle when we had chickens. It did its job superbly.

[Sir Henry]

I’ve had many German guns. Most notable a Mauser and several PP, PPK, PPKs, PK and a P. The P, PP and PPK were all .22LR while the s and PK were 380.

In the stuff that i'm listing locally are a bunch of 22s. Sig trailside target, larrys guns x-esse, with matchdot and all larrys goodies, kimber 82g w/tuner, anschutz mpr with tuner. Beretta 87t w/10mags, cz 512, i simply dont shoot non suppressed guns when i have a gun that suppresses in the same caliber.

I’m quickly becoming that way.

Shooting suppressed changes a lot of things. First and foremost, you can shoot longer, with far less recoil and sound. Extended range sessions don't leave your ears ringing, hands tingling, or shoulders throbbing.

[Ted124]

Can't own a suppressor in California.

[Sir Henry]

Can't own a suppressor in California.

Can’t own them in Washington State either. That’s one of the many reasons I now live in Wisconsin.

Like the great Don Bathe, my first firearms advisor.

His AR was deemed illegal and so was his sawed-off shotgun.
He sold his house at the height of the real estate bubble and moved from Santa Maria to the Scottsdale area in AZ.

His very first lesson: 'There are two kinds of revolvers. Single Action & Double Action revolvers'.
That's when I knew I was born to own a Smith & Wesson.

Nice Smith and Wesson snub.

[Ted124]

Thank you! Serial # points at 1969. Model 10, 6-shot, K-frame.
Some previous owner scratched a number on the inside strap of the grip. Appears to be a SS#.
