The issue with the Ruger 1/4 ribs was the rib being slightly long, forcing the rear edge to wedge up against the receiver. Just removing the 1/4 rib and relieving the end to ensure a small gap...

I've owned over a dozen #1s and #3s over the years. All this sounds very familiar and is good advice. I will add that the earliest #1s usually had pretty good barrels (I've read they were Douglas...

Many thanks. I assumed it was something like that. The issue with the Steyr SL is the opening for the magazine in the bottom of the receiver is offset to the left, to accommodate rotary magazine...

Thanks for the pic. I was hoping you might be able to snap a few pics of how the single shot platform is made and functions. Is it an aluminum or steel trough, or is there some kind of spring...

Well, speaking of rare, good deals at Cabelas, I picked up an L-46 .222 there a couple of years ago. I guess someone had stolen the the grip cap, and the guy was in the mood to negotiate. Anyway,...

Mixed Bag

Well, I got to the range without incident and was able to shoot the .22 Tanuki for the very first time this weekend.

The bad news:
First, it was pretty gusty out, but I really don't think it...

Am I missing something? If it is that stiff whether cocked or not, could the cocking notch be the problem? Granted, there could be slight firing pin retraction even when cocked, but for there to be...

Yes, it went down the road. The main problems involved small but important details, such as bolt binding when operated briskly, the cocking piece not being very secure when the bolt was retracted...

.22 Tanuki Update

Well, I've had the PTG reamer now for about 3 months but had no time to do the things that have to happen before I could chamber it. Namely, form some cases to use as a headspace gauge, and that...

Plenty of good powders for the straight .221 Fireball, and I would have just gone with the FB, if I could have found my tight-neck reamer. Alas, I could not, and a new reamer would have been as much...

I'm actually in the process of doing something very similar with a donor L-46 in .222 I located about a six months ago. First and foremost, I want a Sako L-46 rifle that cracks instead of booms. ...

FWIW, Melvin at NULA...

None of the available .22 Hornets were 100% "dream quality" for me. A Sako L-46 would have been close, but one for the right price never came along. I've owned everything you can imagine: Brnos, CZs,...

Before I spend the money on replacing my apparently lost tight-neck .221 Fireball finishing reamer, I thought I would reach out to the brethren here. Anyone have such a reamer I could rent...
