I think your transition and conversion turned out really nice. I like an enthusiast that like’s to make it his own. Here is a project that is tuned up, re-griped, BM #5 basepin and a Magnum cylinder fitted. I have the 10/22 Stainless barrel, need to decide on 10.5” or 12”. What to do … 🙄 Do a 12 '' and get a Fermin Garza front sight ...Mine is blue and a real hoot ... Depends on what you want from the gun. If just plinking and shooting 10 or 12 work. If it will be a dedicated hunting gun they get unwieldy the longer they are, and more awkward to carry.

They are not the golden years but the Black & Blue years! Sometimes we have to rethink how we do things. What used to work has to be tweaked slightly now to work for our hands that we beat up all those years earning a living. Support the wrists with a sandbag instead of the grip with meat of the hand and don't ride the recoil shield so hard with the thumb. A couple of my big bore pistols went away because they were not fun to shoot anymore. And I'm to dumb not to shoot them if I still own them, so they had to go.

I had an Encore barrel for a while never warmed up to it. Never liked the short necked case. I do have a Reeder load book if you ever need any load data.

I would send it in with a itemized letter of all your concerns and at least give them a chance to fix or replace it. Maybe put in the letter if it cannot be fixed in a timely manor to just replace it. Every company produces a dud once in a while, so see how good there customer service is.

Beautiful morning in my little slice of Heaven. 67 degrees right now and climbing but, temps are supposed to drop tomorrow. Mother Nature in all her glory! So I think I will just enjoy today and deal with whatever tomorrow brings, tomorrow!

They fish mostly for cat fish and she mostly gives them away to friends. They just like drowning worms and don't care what they catch. Gives her and her sister a day out of the house together

First with a revolver was a groundhog with Moms RG 2 1/2 in .22 in the tobacco barn. Revolver deer have all been with my .45 Colt Ruger's + rabbits and squirrels.

I live my life in jeans and a tucked in T shirt , if its cold enough a tucked in flannel in winter. I wear my holster at about 3:30 BEHIND the hip both IWB or OWB with a forward rake. An extra one size bigger unbuttoned flannel shirt in winter plus a jacket, and a lighter unbuttoned shirt in summer as a cover. Tucking the gun behind the hipbone makes it easier to conceal and less likely to print. I absolutely hate appendix carry as I have spent all my life with the belief of not pointing a loaded gun at something I don't want to shoot. My femoral artery and junk fall into that category.
