Yea I was just wondering as the 'permanently' blocked mags are still incredibly easy to unblock and as such the term 'permanent' seems largely up for interpretation. Plus i wasn't really asking for definitive legal advice, more for opinions and maybe if anyone else has mags pinned in similar...

Yea like I said in he other thread about it. I have the 10rd long mag with no load assist. I use a tool to pull down the follower and load up. I don't bother jiggling and such as again as stated in the other thread, I only have one mag so far, and loading 10rds at a time is time consuming as it...

Yea I think it's mostly people hoarding ammo. I was at wlamart last night and asked when their deliveries were.. The guy immediately knew I was looking for .22 rounds! Hahaha. He said to get there crazy early as it sells out within 5mins! The problem is that it's so cheap, people are just...

Could be a loading issue. You're supposed to stagger the rounds in the mag so they look like a ladder with every other bullet to the side. It's hard to describe, and to get it right can be even harder! There's a separate thread about it though. As I said in there, I don't stagger the rounds and...

Ha, I just saw your picture in the pic thread. You talking about the purple rifle? (She's a beauty!) If so it's definitely brand new and upgraded as it should be. Some rifles are just picky about ammo. Nothing to worry about. I hold onto my CCIs and plink with Winchester bulk, so I know that I...

I was gonna say the same. The manual says to avoid rem ammo. I had one stovepipe out of 150rds last time as my only issue with a new out the box rifle! Does sound like an ammo issue. I used up a few odd rem that we had left over from our last shoot and they seemed to run ok. Other than that I...

Dunno if anyone here knows, but do you think it would be fine to pin a 25rd yourself with a screw or something? Just wondering if that would be considered permanent or not. I live in CA and have the 10rd long mags, but really wanna unpin them to install a load assist, and then repin. I know...

Yea that was my issue. They look very similar on the online images offered by hogue, and yet the reviews all suggest that the ghillie green is much more of a grey color than the pics suggest! That's why I'd like a comparison pic ideally. None of my few local stores seem to have any in that I...

Hey, so I'm trying to decide between colours! I want the hogue over molded grip, and one of the new hogue stocks, but can't decide between OD, and 'ghillie green'. Anyone have either hogue OD or ghillie green accessories? It's really hard to tell what they actually look like from the pictures on...

Hahaha it st*red out p o s which I meant as position.. Not piece of......hahaha

Yea most local stores here sell them for over 500 out the door when they rarely have them in stock! I got mine online because it was cheaper, even with shipping. Wish I hadn't though as the idiots sent me the wrong model. Ordered the CA compliant with the flash hider and 6 *** stock, got the...

That's my thinking too. Can't justify spending tons on accessories when a cheap knock off will do just fine for my needs! Also I'm sure this .22 'shortage' will ease up. People are being more diligent about what they spend and where they purchase so hopefully it'll get better! I just don't get...

Yea I found some cci at a local gun show and snapped it up. Other than that there's a local ammo sale every year on Father's Day that has tons of it.. Each year they limit the 22 more and more though. Last year it was a brick. This year it was 100rds of good ammo, or one bulk box of 333 per...

A cork? That's a redneck fix right thur.. I like it! Haha :cool: Suprised the MOE didn't have one though, I figured it was only the fixed stock versions. Although really they should just put them on all versions as the hollow thwacking sound of the bolt slamming that empty tube is a little off...

I had looked into that one, and I know that'd be the best bet probably, but I was swayed by these cheap Japanese knock offs, with working fiber optics on them. I know that it'll break, probably sooner rather than later.. But hey.. It looks awesome, and the fiber optic lit option is appealing to...
