I haven't added forward weight, and this: Graco BreaKO Universal Barrel Weight Kit Steel Blue would need to clamp to the barrel forward of the quad rail. You might have to shim the clamp for a tight fit. I have used cork sheet to shim a clamp-on weight on an air rifle.

The 2014 Eastern CMP Games are visible on the horizon (May), and after a long time with no service rifle shooting I'd like to try and attend. For practice purposes at my local range (which is .22 rifle-only), I'd like my M&P 15-22 to have the same length-of-pull and cheek-weld characteristics...

A long time back (and before a shoulder injury) when I was trying to take up service rifle shooting, I believe I was told the same thing at a Garand clinic with respect to the M1 and M1A. After seeing all the glop in rifle's action, I did look at my other .22LR inventory. The Federal...

Went to my first Appleseed event this weekend with my 15-22. Earlier this summer I managed to buy a case of the SK Magazine ammunition. Since it was the only ammo I had with 500 rounds available, I took a can to the shoot. I discovered this ammunition has a film of grease covered the entire...

Mark, I struggle to find the time to keep up with this forum! Rimfire central is a huge collection, are you referring to one of the sticky posts in the Scopes, Rings, Mounts ... forum or a post elsewhere? Thanks, Alan Roberts
