So my friend's Ruger SR22 has a bad habit of having the barrel come loose. Apparently its a problem on the first few thousand guns. You'll be shooting and then all of a sudden it'll start having groups of 3 feet at 15 yards and start jamming and not feeding. Then when you take it apart, the barrel falls off. Not cool. I googled the problem and apparently you just need to put some locktite on it and crank down on the ONE bolt holding the barrel on.

Here's the offending bolt:

 

*****, I almost bought one of those

 

It is honestly amazing how many 'problems' with handguns are solved by adding Loctite to threaded bits on it.

 

Grr. Kel-Tec SUB 2K just came up for sale locally for $425...no cash and guy isn't interested in swapping for my Ruger SP101 .357 3".

 

$425 too much for a USED Sub2k, especially if it's stock. I over-paid for mine at $359...

 

He had a couple aftermarket parts, but honestly, I have yet to see a Sub 2K under $400, used or not.

 

lol you homos I can get a new one for $400 out the door

 

In the back door maybe.

 

I need a good little .22 semiauto plinker. Got to be reasonably priced. Carbine length preferred. Folding stock a big plus. Something able to take aftermarket mags is also desired. Not looking for great accuracy, just something to waste ammo.

Give me your best recomendations.

 

10/22 or one of those Marlins

 

Got a Marlin. Want something else.

 

buddy boy, an example of the pricing I've gotten my bros recently:

Glock 20/21s $505 out the door
.40 S&W Glock Sub2000 $400 out the door (not for me otherwise it'd have been 9mm)
Ruger LCR .357 $415 out the door

oh I also bought a police turn-in 870 Magnum for $198 a few weeks ago

my dealer hooks it the ---- up

 

look at some of the AR-style rifles

 

What about a GSG5, rleete?

 

This was going to be my suggestion... Good fun to shoot and easy to shoot A LOT of ammo through. They suppress REALLY nicely as well.

 

+1, its pretty fun to shoot, mine hasnt jammed once with 40 grain bulk ammo... just terribly horrible to clean.

 

Sorry for the late reply; been camping for the last 5 days.

Excellent suggestion. Unfortunately, "not for sale in New York". But that is exactly what I was looking for.

Guess I'll have to settle for a 10/22 and a plastic stock.

 

bro you can go to Sports Authority and buy those GSG guns down here.

I was in Walmart today and they had four different ARs.

 

Suppressed? Mine is, but having cycling issues with subsonics... probaly b/c I cut the barrel where the once-fake suppressor starts - 9" or so? Most likely a lack of back-pressure

 

I was considering cutting my barrel and paying the tax stamp for a real suppressor, from what I read people had the same issue you are having, so they polished all the moving parts (seems like a total pain), and bought lighter bolt return springs. I still have the fake suppressor, and if I wasnt scared about loosing the accuracy, I would cut the barrel off at the threads anyways to have the short barrel look
