Did you buy a TC Dimension??????

No, but that would make alot of sense.

Last buy was a Norinco lever .22, shortened the LOP and put a $7 buttpad on it (not that it needed it obviously, I find it conforms to the shape of my shoulder better and knocks a little bit of heavier material off), and been modifying a bullseye sight to fit the dovetail notch. Hoping my daughters will enjoy it, though they are both a bit small for it yet.

The Handi's all hit the road three years ago when I downsized the collection... but in their case it was a "beauty in the eye of the beholder" thing... say what you want, but Handi's ARE functional and as for beauty, those rifles got a host of young people out shooting.



I agree on "safe queens"... I am down to less than 20 guns (from triple digits), and I shoot them all.

Edit; however in the interests of full disclosure, my OCD does inflict significant metal anguish when I ding or scratch a "functional" gun...

I'm kinda in the same boat on the downsizing end, & gonna shrink the batch a tad more. Yes, I don't like gettin' dings and marks on my guns, but I can bring 'em back up to snuff without much fuss.

It's been fun though to have owned, competed & hunted with as well as tinkered on so many different guns in me lifetime & will continue to do so until I tip over.;)

The ring set-up is vomitous... overhanging ejection port by a quarter inch, when you still have a quarter inch of tube to work with???

Got the mounts issue fixed last night. These all steel bases came on a barreled action I got on the EE. They are perfect for this project. No brand marked on them. Wish I had more sets.

For the other OCDs, I got the caps all lined up with the lettering on the same side and the ring screws in the right direction. :)

Much better... you are getting there, but have not arrived my young Jedi... we must address the misaligned screwhead slots and mount overhanging the rear base, in order to bring balance to the Force.

lol .... Those rings are not tightened down yet. Will attend to aligning the screws when the time comes.

The rear ring is no overhanging the front of the bases as bad as it looks in the pic. I gave it the once over after seeing the pic and all is well.
