    .22 LR Shortage Is Over - NO WAY ! !

    I agree, .10 is too much but the OP seems to want to pick it up instead of ordering online. My average landed cost has been under .07 and I only buy minimags now.

    .22 LR Shortage Is Over - NO WAY ! !

    Shoot Straight in Tampa a little more than an hour north of you has had 22lr in stock every time I've been in there for months. The last few weeks they have had it at 10 cents per round. I do agree that Walmart is tough, I haven't seen any at Walmarts near me for years. I also saw 10 cent per...

    Winchester M-22 Recall Notice

    Thanks for posting, I have 2000 rnds that have the bad lot numbers. This includes the 120 rnds in my range bag that I was going to shoot at the range today. I had someone confirm the lot numbers in my stash after seeing your post. Hopefully they replace instead of refunding or giving some...

    Thanks for shipping my wrench and barrel vise jaws last week, I'm looking forward to seeing them. I hope my flash hider is one of the easier ones to remove.

    15-22 Magazine Patents and Lawsuits, etc.

    DOE applies to infringement suits and not to the patentability. There are other rules/tests used by the examiner to determine patentability while the application is in process. If you pull the file wrapper on the patent (history of the application including office actions and responses between...

    15-22 Magazine Patents and Lawsuits, etc.

    1) it may or may not seem unique but the patent office thought it was unique, fighting validity would be very expensive, promag would need to sell millions of magazines to cover that cost, financially it is probable not worth it 2) I think this is an important feature, I would likely not buy a...

    15-22 Magazine Patents and Lawsuits, etc.

    #1 would be a good way, especially a) I suspect b) might be OK but you need to be careful of the doctrine of equivalants #2 would likely be a problem, I suspect S&W would have something to say about offering infringing product as components #3 is really your 1b and you might run into trouble...

    Aguila Ammo - What to expect?

    Except for the colibri it will work well. I put 200 rounds of aguila through my 15-22 today. I've used well over two thousand rounds of it over the last couple of months and it is way better than Remington or Winchester. I might even say it is as good as CCI. One word of warning though -- it...

    Thoughts on the Ammo Situation

    really???? Water is a requirement to sustain life, ammunition is not. This comes down to whether you believe in capitalism and supply and demand economics or not. If it truly were an item required to sustain life, like water, food or air, I could see some reason to complain. It may not be...

    Yesterday my LGS had some in stock, there were still a bunch left. Vince's Guns in Riverview on 301 for those of you in the Tampa area. He is not open today but is open on Monday.

    Pro-mag discontinuing for the 15-22?

    The length of time is because of how long it takes to get a patent. The filing date of the original provisional was 12/30/08, the patent itself wasn't issued until 1/22/13. You can't sue until you have a patent. Patent infringement is theft as Majorlk has pointed out. After getting their...

    Pro-mag discontinuing for the 15-22?

    US patent 8,356,439 listed above has claims that cover the hook. Their patent does not cover all plastic magazines, just magazines with the hook as described in the patent description which covers the design as we see in our magazines from S&W. Patent 8,356,439 does not cover any other parts...

    Pro-mag discontinuing for the 15-22?

    I am not a patent attorney, I don't even play one on TV. That said, I do have a bit of patent experience. Going through the claims, the key here appears to be the "hook". Both independent claims call it out and this is a different feature than other magazines I am aware of. Because of the...

    I have 2 of the promag 32 magazines. I have run one through a 25 round load 7 times without and issue. The other I have run a 25 round load through 3 times and on the last time it left one behind. I wondered about the follower extension myself but have not had time to review it...
