I've bought a couple of holsters from EPS in the last 3 years or so. In each case delivery was as promised, about 5 weeks. The holsters were well made and still in use. Questions I asked by email are answered in a reasonable time frame. All in all, I'll buy holsters from them again.

Thanks to all for their serial number reports. It sure looks like that the latest numbers "DU*****" may very well have all the problems fixed. So far at least I haven't seen any OOB reports on the latest numbers reported here. Thanks again and good shooting to all.

That's a nice looking stand, and no doubt priced right. However, I too have always made mine out of PVC. My reason for doing so is that PVC is cheap, you can make any size in a few minutes, takes apart for easy transport. And, the number one reason for me anyway...If I made a frame out of...

Thanks Phil. That eliminates my idea that these OOB's are caused by a possible "match" chamber that gets too dirty for a round to chamber. Another theory goes up in smoke. (My first experience with the "W" road was late one night in a dense fog, driving the pickup I had at the time...a full size...

Phil, I just now caught up on my reading here on the forum, and saw that you had an OOB. I hope nothing wasn't damaged. This is a good chance for me to learn something...IF you have not yet cleaned the rifle since the OOB, could you break the rifle down and see how easily or how hard a cartridge...

Since you took your barrel off your 15-22 it is of course chambered. I hope this isn't too simple of an answer, but the chamber is cut in the breech end of the barrel for whatever cartridge the firearm uses...in your case the 22 long rifle. I am a bit puzzled why a gunsmith could not tell that a...

Thanks for putting this info out. I am going to try this with one of my mags for my AK47 22. They just put pins in like S&W for the different capacity mags. The GSG AK 22 mags are built different and will require some tinkering to get it right. Thanks again.

Thanks Chuck, I've heard about using JB before. Thanks for the info.

I saw that Davidsons had gotten in a new batch of 15-22's, so I contacted them and asked if they could give me the three letters of the serial numbers. I had them check the models that I am interested in...the threaded barrel model, the unthreaded model and the Talo model. They have an...

I firmly believe that what you did may well be the thing that will prevent the OOB's. Especially polishing the chamber. That seemed to help the TC R-55's. I would bet that is one of the things that S&W does in the update they do. For my information, what did you use to polish the chamber? I read...

I agree Chuck, you said it much better than I, and in fewer words. You just educated me on one thing that I didn't know, about the 15-22 using controlled feed. Thanks for sharing that.

ChattanoogaPhil stated the problem quite well. Especially his advice not to let a child shoot the rifle until after the rifle has had a goodly number of rounds through it-especially a left-hander. As some on here might know from some other posts of mine I have been researching this problem for...

I share your opinion. I've been waiting for the problems to go away on new rifles before I got one too. I had thought the TALO versions or the new stock coming in to the distributors would be ok, but that's apparently not the case. Personally, I am at a loss as to why new guns are leaving S&W...

Thanks for the information. It has been posted several times that serial numbers aren't and guide as to whether on not one will have problems. What I've seen lately seems to bear this out. One would think that since S&W knows what to fix when one of their rifles comes back that they would have...

Sorry to hear about your problems, S&W will fix it for sure, and it will work fine when you get it back, but it's still aggravating. I had hoped that the TALO versions would be latest production model and have the bugs fixed. If you do not mind could you give the first 4 digits of your serial...
