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,
madMark/nyrasgt

"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed — where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once."

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.
