They are ammo sensitive, as far as cycling goes. If you use low power ammo they do not like to cycle. Magnum Research has a list of ammo that works on their website, give that a look over. I plan to just try a bunch of ammo out and see what she likes best.

Keep in mind that you should use jacketed bullets, as the cast ones can clog the gas ports. Plus I am sure the gun does not like some bullet shapes (although the feed ramp is pretty straight, and the mag positions the bullets almost in line).

I really did not read about any jamming issues, but the manual does specify a good cleaning regime, and the recoil springs do need to be replaced every 5k rounds or so.

Thanks, I'll give them another look. I was thinking of getting a S&W 500 Magnum instead, now I'm not sure between the two

Heres a little guy that I picked up recently:



Only 357, but it is ported and is a limited run gun so it may be worth something eventually. I also got a smith 38 special the same day, paid 250 for it and come to find out it is worth about 750!!! I might sell it, but I kind of like it. Polished nickel finish on it, and it was made in the late 50s early 60s, model 15-1.

It was a beautiful work of art.

I was planning the same thing, but that ammo is a bit pricey too! So I decided to go with a 629 and then ended up with this. I like autos better than revolvers anyways...

Nice piece there James! I'm thinking of DE's in the way of a pistol as well. Kind of intimidating just looking at it or speaking of it....

My first purchase will be a M4 or AR15. Would like to outfit it with a nice scope as well.
Also looking at the M-4 Ops, shoots the .22 round.

Sure wish I could swing the cash for one of these:

My brother's co-worker just dropped $5K on one and another $1500 on a scope. The gun is just a pure beast!

James: where are you getting these guns from? online?

I just picked up a Ruger MarkII about 2 months ago, stainless version. Great target gun as .22LR ammo is still cheap, at least compared to everything else I have. I can shoot a ful clip of .22 for less than what it costs to pull the trigger twice with my .40S&W Glock. Next I want a 9mm but haven't decided between the XD and glock. I love my Glock that I have and I know they are reliable so it's kind of hard to justify something different

By the way nice collection Linc

I use gunbroker and louisiana sportsman's classifieds. You can also check the local paper. Prices on gunbroker can be high, or low, just depends.

I need to ask my buddy about his bushmaster ar15, he did want to sell it a few weeks ago...

I have a SS 5.5" bull target model that I modified it has a sweet trigger. I added pre and overtravel adjustment and a VQ sear. Then I used a VQ compensator to steady it when using the scope. About 3 years ago I shot silouette in Hunter pistol and smallbore HP. that was a lot of fun esp. at the 100m target you could almost fire a second shot before the sound of the bullet hitting the target gets back to you.
