This prints in 3 parts all at once, you have the fore end, the main body, and the buffer mount. The buffer mount is keyed and held in place with an AR grip bolt and can then be fused with weldon #3. Additionally, I modeled in an opening for a 5" long 3/8" bolt that will stiffen up the fore end considerably. If you have any problems with the files, or have any questions, let me know ASAP and I'll resolve it.
There are several "footprints" available in micro red dots. You'll need an adapter plate that supports the footprint of the dot you're looking at. Holosun's 407C & 507C use the Trijicon RMR footprint, for example.
This plate is pretty universal and supports a wide variety of footprints including Trijicon RMR, the "Doctor" footprint, and the Leupold Deltapoint Pro footprint which are the three most common.
This plate on the other hand only works with "doctor" footprint optics like the Burris Fastfire 3 and the Vortex Venom so it cannot support the Holosun HS507.
Does that clear things up?

I had one in the past and had no issues with it, I just upgraded to one of their higher end models. The glass is pretty good, it tracks well, and is really hard to beat for the price.
My vote is to keep it simple. I'd go with this instead.

Take it to your gunsmith with a marlin 336 rail. Its a nice easy flat top and should drop right on there. It will need to be drilled and tapped. while some claim its bubba but if it's done correctly it's not so bad. I did it with my M1969 which I get out to the range quite often.
Something like this should work.

I am admittedly cheap and my 22 is just for fun. I did some digging and found lots of people like this Berska dedicated 22lr scope. I've had it for probably a year or so, it still works well, has held 0 perfectly and was very affordable. There are much better ones out there, but for what you pay it is very good. I have mine sighted in for 50 yards. Scope

Did the factory target include info on what loading they were shooting?
The laser cartridges you put in the chamber are designed for centerfire calibers. They have pads where the firing pin would strike the primer, which activates the laser. Most .22s carry warnings about dryfire causing damage to rimfire firing pins and chambers., and caution you to use snap caps. That's why you don't see them for .22s.
LaserLyte used to make one, but it looks like they are no longer in production. Maybe they had too many customers complain about weapon damage? There is also a sound-activated model but it may be too big to fit in your barrel.
Where in my comment did you read the word ‘replace’.
It’s an additional piece you mount to your receiver via the picatinny rail.
Your welcome.
It was a great frosty morning . All the morning dew was basically frozen solid for that super satisfying late fall crunch.
That is a cz-457 16.5 inch threaded heavy barrel in the boyd at-one stock.
The scope is 6-18 trophy, its decent for the price and I needed a scope the day I bought it; but I wouldn't buy it again as it reticle doesn't lend itself to bench rest shooting.
I was shooting 100 yards today
This is my only rifle and personally I love it.
I listened to online "experts" when I was looking for my first .22 bench rest scope and heard a lot of "all you will need is 9x". What a crock that is. I found the sweet spot of value and magnification is from Athlon. The Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN2 10-24x56 is under $400 at Amazon.

Bipods can get pricey if you're on a budget. I bought one a long time ago and forgot about it, but picked it up a couple years back when I started shooting NRL22. I recently looked up my order to find out the model number and realized that it wasn't what I thought it was.
I thought I had a Harris, but nope, I've been using the cheap UTG clone. And it's held up just fine for competition... so if you're just going to be punching paper and want to watch where you're spending your money, it's a fine choice. FWIW, I've got a Vudoo on the way, and I'll continue to use this same bipod until I have a reason not to.
Outer Impact and Galloway Precision among other companies make adapter plates that slide in to the factory dovetail for various guns. It has it's pros and cons. Mostly Height over bore being an issue especially for short range.
I've had these in my backyard range for about 2 years now, they are all still usable. Same size as a glass bottle but hard plastic. And if you hang them they move when they get shot so work great. plastic bottle targets on Amazon
Perfect, now grab some tape and raise that comb height.
Easy peasy with a bit of foam and vet tape.
McFadden Machine Ultimate Cliploader(sic). I've run mine for almost 2 decades. The thing works if you keep it clean and slightly lubricated (I use silicone spray).
The downside is that you will burn through a brick very, very quickly.
It can be had for $699 at Amazon and OpticsPlanet. I like this scope enough for precision rimfire shooting that I have two of them.
Yes - pretty much a rock tumbler. In fact, I bought the Harbor Freight cheapo first, but I wasn't completely satisfied, so I returned it and bought a Lyman. The HF didn't have the volume that I needed.
Both are sealed tight, so you can fill it with water and Lemishine or Hoppes or whatever and you're good to go.
Solvent, brush, and patience. If you want to get into the nooks and crannies, consider a pick. I bought this set and I'm shocked at how durable the tips are.
Also, to help with future cleanings, coat your baffles with dielectric grease. Helps removal of carbon buildup.
My bad about taking a while to get back to you:
Yours won’t look EXACTLY like mine, but trust me, these will work just as well and save you $15 bucks or so (the only difference is the opening in the hood over the front sight, because I ordered the front and rear individually to get a front sight that came with its own hood before realizing that I could remove the hood from the standard front sight and re-use it)
By the way, this is just a reminder to use Amazon.Smile whenever you buy something on Amazon, and select one of the pro gun organizations like the Second Amendment Foundation and Gun Owners Foundation

Seems solid for a fair value. I run an RMR on my EDC but for this purpose that type of optic is overkill for 95% of folks IMO. YMMV
It sounds more expensive than it actually is. Rifle match is ~$80/brick at reasonable prices.
One of the more important things, if you’re trying to become a more accurate shooter, is to train with the most consistent(ergo most expensive) ammo you can afford. I practice with CCI SV or SK Standard Plus. If you’re remotely serious about it, you don’t want to shoot $0.05 ammo because you’re going to get all sorts of fliers. It’s going to be discouraging when you look at your targets and it will make it harder to track your progress.
A good book to read, even if it’s dated, is “small bore target shooting”
Bought like 2 of these. One for an 300. Blackout and one for a backup. It didn't really work out on the blckout frankly fell apart from recoil. But I got one on my mp5 in 22lr and it seems to be perfect so I'd check it out and at 35$ not much to lose. (Amazon refunded me without even having to send the one back just in case)

May not be a popular opinion but get something cheap like a feyachi or something in that range. The higher end optics have slightly clearer lenses I have a vortex venom on my 1911. The feyachi mounts are cheaper as well but they hold zero. I got this combo on my hk 416 .22lr and had no issues.

I have really enjoyed my Athlon Argos BTR gen 2 MOA on my 308. The reticle is fantastic for optical ranging of known size targets and makes for a fun challenge at the range and has applicability in hunting too if you are quick with the mental math. The glass is perfectly fine and or over kill for 100 yards, but since when does more hurt?
Available here This will fit on a printer with a Z height of 300mm. This will NOT fit on an ender 3. This has been a very fun little project and I look forward to what people think!
Nice! I've got a fpv cam housing i 3d printed to hold the camera, vtx, a little 40x40mm fan, and a patch antenna. It runs off a little lawnmower battery off to the side. It'll send clear video past a mile with the vtx turned up. The only problem is that i haven't found a good fpv camera (or similar) with a narrower field of view so I can scoot my camera a little further from my target. I've also been building a little raspberry pi cyberdeck (kind of similar to this https://www.hackster.io/news/the-lunch-box-cyberdeck-contains-a-delicious-raspberry-pi-for-dessert-8b18e8bd11bb ) to take shooting with me. It's main purpose is to host a webcam to monitor a 3d printer, but i'll also take it shooting and use it to run Applied Ballistics and view my target cam through.

Mediums, though heights do differ by manufacturer. Mine is sitting on an DIP products picatinny rail. I have a vortex strike eagle 4-24 x 50 mounted. I think you can still use Medium 11mm rings mounted directly to the stock dovetail and be alright with a 50mm objective, since I have quite a bit of space left. If you have a objective than you are more than good to go. But keep cheek rest in mind.
The one pictured is made by Savior Equipment, the Urban Warfare 46" model.
It's a double rifle bag with shoulder and backpack straps and it's so well made for the $80 I paid last year (third party sellers selling for over $100 right now). Comes in several colors and sizes from 36" to 55", and it's shipped in a long box so the bag is never folded.
Velcro straps for both long gun compartments, very thick pad in between, thick padding all around the zipper, and the zippers seem very strong.
[Amazon smile link here]. If you're set on this one, just keep an eye on it, prices have been fluctuating for all colors/sizes over the last month or two.
I use the TACBRO ones (https://www.amazon.com/TACBRO-See-Thru-Ammunition-Storage-22LR/dp/B079J5THSY/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=22lr+case&qid=1609828612&s=sporting-goods&sr=1-6) Because it was $4 a box.
They fit in a 50 can, 3 stacks of 5 with the hinges of the outer boxes pointed towards the skinny sides of the can, the middle one pointed the longways sorta like this: | _ | They fit really snug this way, and I fit extra boxes of ammo on the side gap, but I could probably fight 4 more boxes on their side in there. They're all just awkward because its tip-side up. If I was smart I would have reused mini-mag boxes to be honest.
One more bit of kit that I have found immensely useful with the MK series internals is a pair of those "reverse" tweezers: I don't know the proper name but the one on the left is what I use.

I got the AVAWO one off Amazon. I think any of the prime eligible ones for about $20 are a safe bet.
I HIGHLY recommend an adjustable object scope for any .22lr. You tend to shoot at closer ranges with a .22, and it's annoying not to be able to focus on your target, especially if you'd like to use higher magnifications.
This scope fits my 10/22 perfectly with a Magpul Hunter stock and low rings: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00794LINS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It’s a fantastic idea. Shooting a 22 plus plenty of dryfire training will cover literally everything you could possibly need to work on other than recoil management (which isn’t all that big a deal once you have the basics dialed in). I’ve got 5k through my TX22 and it’s a sensational firearm, particularly considering the price. It also fits holsters for a VP9 or PPQ, which means draw training as well. An average range trip for me is about 100-125 22lr then 25-50 9mm.
Truth be told, you can do most of your training without any ammo at all. If you’re inconsistent in your shot placement it really doesn’t have all that much to do with the size of the round you’re shooting, because all the important work you do in aiming happens prior to the recoil impulse: the round will land wherever your front sight is at the instant the bullet leaves the muzzle... no more, no less, no magic. The technique comes in finding and placing that front sight quickly and accurately, and then not disturbing it as you press the trigger. If you really want to dial it in, drop 9 bucks on your kindle and grab this book - amazing read, and extraordinarily helpful. If you want some drills to work on try this one.
Pick up another bag of patches while you're at it; what they give in in the kit is maybe enough to clean it once or twice (depending upon how thorough/detail you are). I like the Southern Bloomers brand as they don't leave nearly the lint as a lot of others do.
If width is the issue, as opposed to height, might try something like this;
How much do you need to rise up? Foam, or something more substantial?
​
If that deal was going on a couple months ago I'd have jumped on it. As it is, I opted for the Vortex Crossfire II, and am plenty pleased with it so no regrets here.
This is a dove tail mount which is popular with 22. My Marlin 795 has this and I had an issue with it sliding off so I bought a 3 screw kit.

Think it's called a Weaver rail or Weaver something.
There are many ways to mount, someone even has a short Pic rail that fits the bolt pattern. Rings are also available.
That said - I have the identical mount and a very old 4x Weaver. Still gets the job done :)

They clear the bolt handle closely but comfortably. No issues cycling the action. Mounted easily, look good and seem to be of very high quality. The screws they come with are torx, but they do come with a wrench to fit.
These rings specifically fit the CZ dovetail mount, not a standard Weaver style mount. If your rifle isn't a CZ, you'll need a different style ring (though high rings would probably still fit best).
I found the case I ended up ordering for my 10/22 and Ruger American Rimfire. It fits either rifle with a scope on it.
