Unfortunately, the first trip to the range revealed problems with ejection of spent casings, finally culminating in the slide/barrel locking up completely. Is this sort of thing common in .45s? I would also like to know what sort of mods people have had done to their .45s to improve feeding, accuracy, etc. On the whole, I think I'll really like it once I get the bugs sorted out. I am also searching for a reasonably good .22 target rifle. I can't afford an Anschutz (pant, drool), but I'm open to suggestions ... -- Carl Kuck (apply all standard disclaimers to the preceeding babble) UseNet (west) : {wherever}!sdcsvax!ncr-sd!se-sd!cbk `O_o' (east) : {wherever}!ihnp4!ncr-sd!se-sd!cbk ( ) Aak!
