[QUOTE=cqbcat;40373072]Is there a way to shoot a Ruger 10/22 without the bolt blowing back afterwards? It would be neat turning it into a Hollywood quite rifle, but but the sound of gases escaping the ejection port and the action cycling could ruin that. Also, any advantage of integral suppressor over screw on suppressor?[/QUOTE] Wait, so are you asking whether or not you can have the bolt catch open after every shot?
No i think he wants the bolt to stay forward and not eject unless done manually.
[QUOTE=Jagur;40373127]No i think he wants the bolt to stay forward and not eject unless done manually.[/QUOTE] Ohhh, okay. I don't think that's possible on a semi-automatic weapon because of the gas tube. Maybe taking off the gas tube?

Back from the gun show. Lots of neat things there. Two FALs in amazing condition, a couple HK91s floating around, one very busted up PTR that had waaay too high of a price tag, SMLEs, 1903s, few M1 Carbines floating about. Lots of the usual AR and AK business. Saw some guy trying to sell a WASR for $1100. Bought a Glock 32 and a bunch of .357 SIG and 5.56. Gotta wait til Thursday to pick the Glock up. All in all a good day.
So my next gun will be a 1903. I want a WWI mfg ideally, or at least something appropriate for pre-early WWII. What manufacturers should I look for, any distinguishing marks or features? Any helpful links with pictures would be great. For context, I am getting more into reenacting, and with a M1911A1, a M1 Carbine, and a M1 Garand in the collection, I think I want a 1903 for early war stuff.
Any Springfield with a Serial # lower than 800k, or Rock Island Arsenal lower than #286,506 should be considered unsafe to shoot due to faulty heat treating of the receivers.
Went to my Uncles this weekend in Alabama, had the cops called on us while I was shootin with my cousins. All in all a weekend well spent.

[QUOTE=Bazkip;40373590]286 506? Huh, how specific. Must suck if you have precisely that one :v:[/QUOTE] Lol. Well apparently RIA produced rifles at a far slower rate than Springfield and more accurate records were kept of when they switched to double heat treating

[editline]21st April 2013[/editline] the 10/22 does not have a gas tube, as do many semi automatic weapons.[/QUOTE] Were you the one with the PSL? You bought a Last Round BHO Device, right? I was testing my PSL, which was imported complete, the bolt does stay back on the last round when hand cycled, however removing the mag makes the bolt fall forward, is this normal for the PSL BHO? I'm used to the Modified AK style, where it locks back like an SKS and you charge the handle again. Thanks in advance.
[QUOTE=ewitwins;40373137]Ohhh, okay. I don't think that's possible on a semi-automatic weapon because of the gas tube. Maybe taking off the gas tube?[/QUOTE] The 10/22 doesn't have a gas tube. It operates purely on blow back, I believe.
Just hold your thumb on the back of the bolt handle while shooting and you will be good to go.

If you can't find any WWI-era rifles, they might be worth a look.
Shoot only subsonic rounds, there's some low-velocity rounds known as CBs, Remington and CCI make them, they only go 700-750 FPS and won't cycle a semi, they turn it into a straight-pull.

Awesome Stuff.

Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE] By what you're describing it sounds like the bolt is simply being caught on the magazine by friction, mine did it too before i installed the piece. The bolt should stay back even when the magazine is removed and only come forward when tugged back like an SKS bolt. Check to see if you have this little piece in your center support and that it's spring is working. [img]http://i.imm.io/13DKK.jpeg[/img] If you do have it, No worries, It could also be a magazine problem. [img]http://i.imm.io/13DLl.jpeg[/img] See the little cylindrical piece on the far left of the magazine? Sometimes PSL mags can have this piece tucked into the magazine instead of sticking out. This piece is what pushes up on that little block in your center support and holds the bolt back. So make sure you have the piece, It's moving with ease, and your mag is pushing up on it and you're good to go!

I did notice the other day that the BHO "key" on the mags were not reliably sticking out, towards the butt of the rifle, at least not very much, I may have to modify the follower to make them more reliable. I'll take a look in my magwell sometime today, thanks for the help.
CZ-82s are almost 300$ now ffs I wants one :< [editline]22nd April 2013[/editline] will trade for a .22lr contender that needs new barrel blocks

Theres a guy within 3 hours of me thats selling a [URL="http://www.armslist.com/posts/1492406/panama-city-florida-handguns-for-sale--feg-p9m-9mm-hi-power-copy"]Lithuanian police Hi-power clone. [/URL] I've always wanted a hi power and a police hi power would be pretty cool to own. Would it be worth it to trade my p225 for it, or just pay the 450 for it? Opinions?

Opinions?[/QUOTE] Ad says 400, and Hi-Powers are common. However, a poliec e issue would be pretty cool, seeing those markings on the slide. I'd offer 350 CASH, I sure as hell wouldn't trade a Sig for it. My two cents... However, if it was me, and the Sig was DAO, I'd trade it, but that's only because I hate DAO, I'm a total 1911-fag, I love a good Single Action Trigger...
My P6 is basically just a single stack P226, it's DA/SA, but it's a 9mm that only holds 8 rounds, eugh. It was made in Germany in the 90's and I've put plenty of rounds through it, so it's used but it's still in good condition. The handgun retails for $450, so it's not like I would be losing a lot. It's not that I dislike the pistol, I'd just like something thats double stack, and a police hi power would be kickass.
I'd totally buy it

I'd inquire about a trade first, of course. Kageping?
sent the dood an email, wish me luck!!

But most of the casings got stuck almost ejected, so the bolt does blow back, even with them but just not enough. You have to manually pull it back and they'll fling out. Good luck Also they fed nicely from the ten round rotary mag!
Goddammit, still no mini-Nuggets in Canada anywhere. I think I'll give up on waiting for it from a dealer and buy the next one someone's selling privately with a holster, lanyard, and cleaning rod.
