No, small rubber band. No, rings are sold separately. Viridian rings sold on Amazon are $13 - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/95-viridian-serac-6-24x50-30mm-tube-natchez-tax-refund-sale.929399/#post-12871739 But comes with front/rear flip caps.

Be sure to mention that after powder measure settles down, to look for high/low spread to identify the median to use to adjust "target". When I did 50 drop runs, initially I struggled to set the "target" at desired "X.XX gr" but once I saw the swing and identified the median, it was fairly easy...

Yeah, same here. Found out when removing the rings for @Spats McGee. A little wiggle after removing the nut loosened the block for removal. Heck, think of it as "safety retention" feature. :) It's "basic" scope ring but retained the heavy weight tank of Serac on the 10/22 picatinny rail and...

Probably as when I ordered my Seracs, they showed multiple shipping options. Quality rifle scope should withstand the negative slam of air guns. I had several scoped break barrel air rifles and would not hesitate to use Bushnell Trophy line scopes (My minimum standard for scope recommendation...

BUT how are we defining "cleaning"? For me, "cleaning" is disassembly of every part, inspect/clean then reassemble with lube. In comparison, "field strip" is remove slide and barrel, inspect and swab barrel/clean parts as necessary and reassemble with lube. I think many people interchange...

This. I had RCBS Reloader Special 5 that I PIF to an elderly hunter/reloader and it was made of aluminum, not cast iron. But it was built stout and heavy (Like my C-H 205 single stage and Dillon 550 which were also made of aluminum) and can't imagine cracking it even when dropped. Looks like...

Moderator @Walkalong mentioned about Schuemann Barrels' recommendation of not over cleaning barrels, especially with cleaning chemicals and bore brush. Since then, I just wet mop the bore and let it sit x2 and dry patch after range session. I only bore brush if I see reduction in accuracy now...

Nice to see another "paper towel" user. 😁 Wow, that gun was really gunky ... But then I didn't shoot 6000 rounds, only 4000 rounds ...

+1 on tossing in strips of used dryer sheets to extend the life of media.

Think about it ... Over several hundred years, thousands (likely) of engineers and technicians worked to make semi-auto pistols reliable not just to operate under normal "clean" conditions but likes of Gaston Glock designed "Combat/Service/Fighting" pistols to operate under "harsh/dirty"...

Our drill sergeants pounded into our heads virtues of cleaning our M16s til "You could eat off it" but I think most of that pounding was so we could be very familiar with disassembly/reassembly and to keep us busy/occupied. ;) (Out of boredom, we would do blindfolded disassembly/reassembly...

Really? Consider this. Let's say you take 200 rounds to the range to shoot. What's the difference between shooting all 200 rounds in the same session (During which you are unlikely to clean the gun) and shooting 100 rounds in two different range sessions? Would cleaning the gun between 100...

Correct. Resizing die should "full length" resize to optimize neck tension. With ram lever all the way down, check the space between bottom of die and top of shell holder/shellplate. If you see daylight, die needs to come down further until there is no daylight. (If using progressive press...

You are the Original Poster and this is YOUR thread ... You can refer and mean whatever you want to. ;) I can comfortably carry both G23 and G22. When you posted "Because the G22 is the most comfortable Glock I own", I understood as application to holding/shooting because they are different...

You are very welcome. :) Actually resized case length can vary by headstamp but also vary by number of resizing and firing cycles as case length can grow longer with increased number of firing. Yes, using stepped "M" style expander/powder through expander addresses the variance from resized...
