How’s the BARF Militia doing?

Please enjoy your time in glorious America.

Oh I do especially in rural America where you can just saunter over to your neighbors yard to pop off some rounds into his berm that you helped him build and no one complains but they do drive over on the gator and start shooting with you.

Moved to Texas in Sept. 2024. Bought a house, some firearms, and do illegal lane splitting.

I use my bike and split lanes daily and year round.
My guns,... rarely used.


Seems more reasonable to move somewhere for better riding than for better shooting.

Is it hard to get the subsonic rounds in Vegas?

Not at all. Nearly every gun shop stocks subs out here. I’ve been buying in bulk through PSA everytime I see a good deal. Just bought 2000 rnds of Fiocchi 5.7 subsonics.

My 10/22 with CCI Quiets (42gr HP). Dead Air Mask suppressor.

I may have gotten carried away with Cerakoting a couple of my guns in Desert Tiger Stripe. Just getting tired of the whole black rifle thing. I wanted to spruce up PS90 while I’m waiting to SBR it, decided to practice on my 10/22 first, did the PS90, then did my Five-seveN for giggles. C-series (air cure) Cerakote so I didn’t risk melting the stock in the oven.

The Ruger cycles the CCI Quite rounds? What internals are you running?

Is it not supposed to? I think I’ve had maybe 2 FTEs out of 180ish rounds.

Completely stock internals and receiver. Barrel, mag release, and stock were upgraded 16 years ago.

However, I looked up the serial number on this rifle and it dates back to 1980. To say that it’s well broken-in is an understatement.

Alan,

Well-broken in may be the answer. My 10/22 will cycle CCI Mini-Mags flawlessly BUT anything with less than 1200fps turns the Ruger into a Jam-O-Matic.

Other issue is softer nosed lead. Failure to feed likely, though I think that more a magazine issue. My mags and rifle are of a more recent vintage.

Your trio is nice looking and agree that the Cerakote breaks up the dullness of black finished firearms.

People said that the subs would mess up in my 15-22 but the thing loves them and haven't had an issue with them.

Gotta love a free state I didn't even know they made subs for 5.7. Learn something everyday.
