Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the replies. Not sure why, but I like the look of the more open sites vs tube sites. Less obstruction on the sides. Plus, I can move it to a handgun a bit easier. Thanks for the link ChattanoogaPhil - I wasn't sure if the top rail mount on my AR (M&P15 II)...

If I add a red dot sight like a Vortex Venom to my M&P15 AR, what do I need to buy, to mount to the top of the gun rail, to mount the sight to? I want to raise it up to properly co-witness the gun's iron sights in the bottom of the red dot sight. Does S&W make a riser mount? I'm not even...

Sweet pistol... Looks just like mine. I would NEVER sell it for anywhere near that!

I'll call them, thanks for the advice. I didn't think they would care much about this old .22.

Okay I must be brain dead because the rust is on the slide, but the slide is steel, not aluminum. I feel better about cleaning/scrubbing that but would still appreciate some advice. Here are the pics... ugh. Maybe 0000 steel wool and oil? Also, only the left side has the rust...

That is a beautiful 622 VR! Awesome grips. I want mine to look that good.

I've got an issue with my 622 VR. I stored it in a safe for several years while my kids were young and it seems to have developed some slight rust patches on the brushed aluminum slide and other aluminum areas. I want t scrub it off but I'm afraid I'll discolor the brushing and end up with a...

I enjoy my 6" 622 VR. I never knew it could get that dirty! Hmmm.. I wonder what's under my grips? Funny, I just bought a new grip screw for it last week from Numrich.

Is the 10-round mag the Smith & Wesson p/n 10262? This would fit a 1996 622 VR?

I like it. I can use it indoors and my wife doesn't complain about the smell. Hoppe's drives me outside. As for a CLP, it's great. I've converted over. Don't use FL with petro based lubes.

I've got a 622 VR that I bought new the year after they were made, never had any problems with it. I discovered last year they were rare (with the ventilated rib) and now I'm glad I never traded it. It shoots anything I feed it. Only have one mag though, will buy more once the craziness dies...

New here, but wanted to say hello, share my experience, and thank you all for the help! Needed info on the Colibri ammo in a long barrel. I have a squirrel issue at my house and started looking online for a Benjamin or Sheridan pellet gun. Would love to have a good pellet rifle but those...
