    blueangel64.........I am a little frustrated with it at the moment, after a couple of hundred rounds through it, I can not get it to shoot where I aim it. every single shot is somewhere 4 - 6 inches high, and 4 - 6 inches left. I've tried every combination of tightness on the barrel tension ring, the torque on the stock to receiver screw, and 3 different types of ammo. I am convinced that the rear sight is installed incorrectly and i will drift it a little right, and once I can get it to shoot straight, then I can worry about adjusting the elevation. I've wanted one for a long time and the deal I got, I could not resist. I will not install a scope until it's shooting where I aim it!

    I've heard of the sight issue before. Should be an easy fix/adjustment. Will watch for status report. Where did I you purchase your 10/22 takedown?

    I had inconsistent results with mine also at first. Fortunately, tightening up the barrel tension and not resting the fore end on sand bags when shooting from a rest cleared things up. Based on that, I'd say you're probably correct that the sight(s) need some tweaking. When you get it right and start thinking about a scope, consider a UTG BugBuster (https://www.amazon.com/UTG-3-9X32-B...4183390&sr=8-1&keywords=utg+bug+buster+3-9x32). I installed one on my TD using a UTG low profile rail (https://www.amazon.com/UTG-Tactical...rd_wg=SUrey&psc=1&refRID=349CNW550YXKRCVA3CTQ). The scope has an AO and comes with QD rings that hold zero after removing/reinstalling the scope. That said, this set up doesn't require removing the scope to fit into the Ruger carrying bag.

    My latest is a JM stamped, .357 mag/.38 spcl Marlin 1894CS made in 1996. The seller had it in a safe for almost 20 years before I got it.

    That's because it is too small to photograph...lol

    Yeah here it is. It's nice and concealable. I hid it under a tic tac on the way back from the shop.

    Looks just like any other Glock, but hella slimmer.

    Here's it is next to my current EDC (HK P2000SK), which is already a small gun. The new Glock is tiny!
