Now that you mention it, I doubt that aircraft stripper would hurt the blue either. That's just a hunch, but I see no reason why it would.

Thanks for the input fellas. I think I'll refinish and put some walnut grips on it too. Make it more of a tribute build to my grandfather than some sentimental keepsake.

It had a busted Bakelite grip when I got it. Never could find any online, but happened across a set at a gun show. Only reason I go to gun shows anymore is for stuff like that. If he'd had a barrel I probably wouldn't even have noticed at that time.

Thats pretty much how I feel. I just needed a little encouragement.

This never even crossed my mind, because I didn't even think that anyone would be selling replacement barrels. Thanks for your google-fu.

So I've got this idea in my head, but I'm having a little trouble talking myself into it. Every time a discussion about .22 pistols comes up I completely forget that I own this thing because I never shoot unsuppressed anymore. I got this 1951 Colt Woodsman from my grandfather who has since...

It shouldn't. Just oil the hell out of it afterward

I doubt mineral spirits or paint thinner would do much unless it's an oil based paint. I would go with lacquer thinner or acetone. If the previous attempts don't work.

Depends on what kind of paint it is. Solvents shouldn't hurt the blue, but if it was a catalyzed or baked on finish, solvents probably won't be aggressive enough. I'd try solvents and sonic cleaner first.

It's not.

Racist

The Russians hacked the super bowl. I don't think they're as concerned with our gun rights.

I shoot the shit out of their 147s as well. Both new and Reman. I've had a couple issues out of a few thousand rounds.

I probably wouldn't have either, but shoplifting and driving a car that was jacked from someone a week earlier?? Good riddance.

I read something on the webs one time about a Glock mag conversion. Don't recall the details, not gonna bother to look it up now.

You can get different versions that take either Glock mags, m&p mags or beretta mags. No reason you can't stick a 30 rounder in there or even hang a drum under it. **Nevermind. I got mixed up, that's the Kel-tec.

I shot a hi-point pistol once and it was all over the place. Least accurate and most inconsistent hand gun I've ever fired. They're reliable though. The carbine is great. Reliable, accurate, compact. I don't know why people knock them. I'd own one.

I don't have a single semi that will cycle Quiets. Ruger SR22, 22/45 Lite, GSG 1911, HK 416D. Not a single one of them will cycle. CCI standard stays subsonic, so they are my go-to now.

I'm sure It's not the first time @NWS has had a hot load blown in his face and then immediately regretted not wearing protection.

I'm really bad about not wearing eye protection. Today was a bit of an eye opener for me. I'll be a little more careful for the next week or so. Then I'll go back to the way I've always done it.
