Default "Plasticool" before "tacticool" was even a phrase

I tend to keep my guns stock. Spent 21 years with Milspec. I do believe I will turn this rifle into something, some may laugh at when they see it. This will be the fun gun. Years ago the kids talked me into putting a pistol scope on a Beretta Neos. That may have been the most fun we had at the range. Still talk about that 20 years later.

Any info or thoughts appreciated.
OP has grabbed the sheer essence of this shooting hobby in my opinion. Those last statements " the most fun we had at the range." & "Still talk about that 20 years later." remind me of fun times with the kids (and other adults too) back when: To borrow some words from Barbara Mandrell: We were plasticool when plastic wasn't cool........... so Polymer, Fantastic Plastic, Nylon..whatever your thing is get out, bang away, be safe of course.........but HAVE FUN.

I don't have a 15-22 (yet) but "we" (kids, grandkids) still love the two old (June 1960) & (November 1967) Remington Nylon 66, one Mohawk Brown, one Seneca Green 22's and like the OP..we still talk about the good times.

I know.........wrong subforum.....but having fun is having fun!
