Ruger products-dead for me due to idiotic engineering

1. comparing rifles/ handguns from 40s-50s to crap from Ruger, but modern...

Nope you're comparing straight blowback rimfire actions to gas-operated centerfire semis (SKS) and bolt actions (Mauser).
There's no comparison.
Go watch the "forgotten weapons" youtube channel and you'll see how many designs tried to rise to fame. Most didn't.
 

Back to 10/22: again, trigger and plastic around it is the smallest problem, but when somebody positions this 10/22 crap as a survival rifle and you cannot strip the bolt out without having a freaking allen key or screwdriver, this is a fundamental failure in engineering design... this is the same stupidity as those u-tube survivalists who are setting up a bug-out/ survival rifle without a back-up sights or an easy tool-less way to get rid of the stupid broken scope and finally quickly use the sights... this is fundamentally wrong as investing into a special pen for astronauts by Americans when Russians just used a freaking pencil.. this just shows a deep fundamental crisis in engineering ideas.. again.. what would you expect from people who think that strawberries grow on a tree.. who are interested in Kardashian's ass and spent life in a vicious circle of EAT-WATCH TV on SOFA-POOP-EAT etc.. now this affects engineers as well

And how many Russians walked on the moon ? :rolleyes:
 
First off - you can clean a 10/22, really? Who knew?
Second - simply because you don't have the manual dexterity to strip a firearm, doesn't mean it can't be done
Third - the dreaded plastic trigger guard is harder to damage and fits better, than the steel one it replaced. It was tested very carefully, and things like size variance, pin hole centre variation, and drop resistance were all part of the testing.
Fourth - I've carried an AK in the bush (legally, in Canada with 30 round mags), don't try to blow smoke up my *ss about AK's, they do jam, on occasion and when they do they can be an absolute b*tch to get apart. A double feed in an AK at the wrong time will get you killed. The gun simply doesn't let you do what you need to do to clear it.
 
Big time-Russian guns ( I mean long guns, not pistols) are definitely the best for the price, reliability and engineering is awesome.
Ruger engineering is what is called-circumferential schizophrenic thinking... man it is so far from Russian and German rifles.
Seriously, it looks like with time North American rifle engineering becomes worse , not better... I am not talking about shape/ ergonomy and exterior design-that #### is improved, but the content is definitely crazy.. "coca-cola-sofa-tv-toilet" generation... what can you expect from them?

Bill Ruger - pretty thick in the skull.

Yup, and then there's that other dummy john browning. :rolleyes:

first of go and read my previous message where both me and a gunsmith tried to fix it, so no problem with dexterity
 
There are up's and downs in everything that's out there.

The trade off for this is the fault for that.
This works better, but it doesn't do this,,, this out performs that and this trumps the next.

Its been going on for years.

The only 2 options is dig out your wallet and spend some funds to get the best of the best, """or""" fill in the gap and make the Superior firearm arm of all time.

I'm guessing the 3rd options would be improving the quality of a pre manufactured unit,,, but who has the time for this.

Sure we can do this or that for survival mode, but in all reality, would it not be wizer to be ahead of game by being in this frame before it comes.

A few, not alot of them have been in survil mode their whole life.
They live off the lands with no internet, power, our out side supplies less the ones that their Ma and Pa left them.
They have much less then most humans, yet they have to much stuff at times.

2 of the 4 bush folks I know have old everything.
Its a simple life, yet it has its hard ships to.
Trying to gather and grow food, getting water in the winter, and keeping the fire going...

A few of us bush folks are keen on the keeping the fire going statement,,, it is a mile wide observation looking at the full picture.

Any-who, a wize place to start "might" be aligning ones life style with simple and practical.
It cuts down on fustration and Internet stress.

Bush folk call it "Less is More."

The less we have the more we live.
It takes many years to get there, it does not happen over night.

All of us could go on and on about chunk of junk this or that, but it will consume our time when we should be 2 or 4 steps ahead of this by having the action plan in place.

Maybe that rusty broken wood stock what ever is good enough.
I'm darn near to the point of going back to to old smooth bore black powder since it does everything.

Moose to birds depending what hand full of rocks and gravel I stuff down the barrel.
Purhaps a hand full of each.

Your options are endless.

Spend your funds wize to find what your looking for.
Improve what you have.
Or make your own.

Fustration, stress, and anger will take you off course,,, today might be the beginning at realizing that those 3 words are fake,,, us humans made them up and they are not real unless we believe they are.

Wipes those words out today my friends.
Focus on what we need to do and do it.
Make us fit life, and life fit us.

Pal Don that is always more wrong than right.

PS: Less is More, Plan ahead, and forget those fake 3 words.

Let this become a new fall beginning for you as much as its a refresher for I.
 
And how many Russians walked on the moon

LOL WoW! Actually Russian engineering and exploration concepts were 25 years ahead of
the western nations.

Lunokhod Program - 2 robot remote controlled rovers sent to the moon 1969 and 1973

The Russians did not have to walk on the moon.

They were smart enough to send Robot Probes from 1969 to 1973 to see and do all
they wanted without the cost and risk of a manned project which they cancelled.

Later the designed vehicles not expended on the moon project were re engineered to resist radiation etc and worked on the Chernobyl disaster containment.

It wasn't until 1997 that the capitalists managed to place any other remote rovers on any other system body with the Mars Rover.

Not to take away from this thread, but I see this whole forum needs a relax my friend thread.

We are all guilty of this because we allow it to happen, it might be wizer if we along with l to chill.

There are only a few posts on how to solve the situation.

A- Find a all ready made factory firearm.
B- Turn them into more reliable.
C- Build them from scratch.

Dig out the wallet and get at it.

Easy, simple, and productive.

My above post is reality as much as this post is.

Anger, fustration, and stress are fake, the only crappy firearms we own are the ones we refuse to improve on.

Pal Don
 
do you believe Americans did? Seriously? Mr Kubrick helped them

Next thing you know you will be telling us you won the cold war too !
And the Lada & Cossack were vehicles far superior to over engineered capitalist cars & SUV's .:rolleyes:


Just ordered a Ruger Blawkhawk :dancingbanana:
 
Actually they were dumb enough to mount a cannon on one of their technically superior spacecraft !

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/11/russian-television-reveals-another-secret-the-soviet-space-cannon/

Don't know casak vehicle it is currently notified in Ukraine and is postUSSR production. Russian MIL. Vehicles are better, civilian sick, the cannon on the plane it was a prototype and not was supposed to shoot while flying or fly high, and was never notified as it was not practical so who is stupid more ... I don't know those who are creating crapuger or those who continue lies about Man on the Moon. Anyhow, AI am now open for crapuger alternatives
 
For those who have courage to negatively compare ak to crapuger... man sure all firearms fail, but the idiotic design behind some of them stays forever, like it does for crapuger

Those who have courage to tell that rimfire design is different from centre fire... man oh man, why then there is sks like .22 Baikal and swap upper in .22 for Glock or Sig... seriously striker arriving a bit off centre and to the centre that is the basic principle used in 12g to .22 inserts and many others of such kind just mentioned above... crapuger decided to go alternative way, the typical and predominant now, unfortunately, in modern N. American engineering BAD+expensive+complex. The other people were telling me that Canadian firearm manufacturing is advanced... sure it is so advanced that prices are 3000+ for precision rifles... sure they cost it and those engineers are may be very good... but what about affordable + reliable+ mechanically sound + mechanically logical and serviceable? Hello....? Silence....

All some can do is imply sanctions on Russian manufacturers to ban them from market... sure you can explain sanctions with an ongoing conflict in E. Europe , but how do you explain ar is restricted ak is prohibited thing? Thanks to the Gods, Odin and Torr somebody missed Aka I their list

Send me a PM so my friend and I can fix your tear down issues.

It might cost you a few bucks, but at least you will have a field ready firearm for full tear down.

We will make the parts out of what ever you want them made of.

The Iron / aluminum plate is about $1800 per square foot. You have to pay for the full foot of it,,, you get the left overs.

Let's quit messing around and get it sorted.

PM me and bring cash will save you from paying GST.

My thoughts to, just spend the money to either buy a field tear down firearm or build one.

That would be the wize idea instead of trying to not be productive at solving the puzzle.
 
nothing will change my opinion on Ruger anymore-two products suck one of them is a major engineering failure (MARK 3)..

so, let's go back to .22 semiauto alternatives...
