Re: Have they fixed Ruger American Ranch Rifle's feeding problem???

I haven't had any issues with my magazine fed RARR. The bolt was pretty tight when I first got it but it runs well now.

115 Controlled Chaos for supers though I prefer the 194 maximum expansion sub handloads because they are hearing safe indoors with my supressor. On a budget 125 SST's.

Re: Shooting quiet, Sub-sonic bullet noise

It's nice to learn new stuff. I would love to see them expand this to over a broader range of speeds. 850-1500 and possibly some of the premium bullets. (trans-sonic stable)

Re: Has anyone tested various bullet types with suppressors?

It is super easy to open up because the threads are covered. The baffles come out pretty easy as well but I do have to tap them out with a mallet and punch. The outer tube is .035” titanium. The end caps, including the blast chamber, and baffles are made using 17-4 stainless. The center tube is mad...

Re: Help! Surface rust on old gun.

Larger image the better :) Nice looking rifle. Looks like it has some honest wear on the bluing that adds character. The front sight on my Dad's rifle has a shroud. Don't know when Winchester added those. I believe he bought this from the Corps when he left the service just after WWII. Not sure why...
