Ladies and Gents,

     Just received communication from Ruger announcing a one week contest:
Submit "your" customized 10-22: picture, parts list, etc. by 18 October.
Ten finalists (great prizes).  Grand prize winner (probably) gets his/her rifle produced...

Perhaps Ruger gets second at-bat for producing the TALO-suggested 10-22 Appleseed LR?

Great potential, especially as we await the Marlin 795 LTR production to begin.

Excelsior,

for only practice will make you perfect.
Finally, you will hit the bulls-eye of success."

"It is an uphill struggle, but I wish that we could distinguish more carefully between freedom and liberty. These conditions are not the same, though they are certainly related. Freedom is the absence of restraint - a physical circumstance. Liberty, on the other hand, is a political situation denoting the lawful capability of the citizen to defend himself and his near and dear without interference from the state. Note that the Declaration of Independence forcibly and particularly establishes the blessings of liberty upon ourselves and our posterity. I like to carry a pocket copy of the Declaration, plus the Constitution, in my travels. It is a good thing to have in hand when discussions arise."

At the Appleseed today I saw a 10/22 that had production issues. Very badly done machining where the bolt slides. They need to work on quality.
