Thank for the update on the M16

Almost no different from mine except for the select fire.

The bolt is different and the hammer and trigger are different, lower receiver is milled different for the full auto and there is a sear for full auto other than that it's the same.

My Henry Frontier .22

Steve, now that you've shot that Henry a bit, what do you think about it?

Be sure to run a bore mop or tight patch down the magazine tube every once in a while, you might be surprised at how filthy they can get. Ammo dependent to some extent.

You are a braver soul...than I. I haven't got the courage to pull mine apart, yet. Encounter any problems getting it back together?

It was a great opening weekend, for dove hunting, here in south Texas. Last year, we had heavy rains, virtually every week and ended up getting 5 birds for the entire season. This weekend, I got my limit (15) by 8:15 yesterday and 9:15 today. I picked up this Huglu, 20 years ago, while stationed at Incirlik, Turkey. At $225, I'm not afraid of laying it on the ground, or poking the barrel through brush, in search of a downed bird. I replaced the firing pins once, a few years ago...but this thing takes a beating, hits it's mark and still looks pretty good...for all the use it's gotten. It's been worth every penny.
I've got a much more expensive Winchester Select...that I'm afraid to get dirty and don't use

It was nice to get a limit...before it got 95 degrees.

It's a blast! Takes me back to being a kid in '74, '75. I used to take my Daisy Red Ryder BB gun and shoot for hours. Amazing how much fun it is to work that lever and squeeze the trigger, even if all you're doing is killing paper. Up a notch for elevation and a slight tap to the left on the buckhorn sights and I'm pretty happy with it. Now that the gun is on target, I gotta work on the shooter getting on target!

Yup, magazine tube gets the same treatment as the bore.

Super easy: 1 screw to remove the rear stock, 4 screws to get the cover off, bolt slides right out. Gives easy access for the cleaning rod. Goes back together just as easy. I did check out a YouTube video first, truth be known.

Good to know, I'll check out the video and give it a run!

Can't help but show off my newest edition just a little bit. Picked it up at the Dripping Springs show this past weekend.

Very good find Ray, love it.

Posted: **Mon Sep 23, 2019 3:51 pm**

Whoa Ray, you got a good one there. Nothing but class and quality.

Posted: **Mon Sep 23, 2019 4:02 pm**

Thank guys. I really appreciate the kind words. I don't believe there has been a round thru this one yet but I'll remedy that before long.

Ray that is a purposeful looking, high quality firearm.

Posted: **Mon Sep 23, 2019 6:57 pm**

Very nice Ray. I shot a friend’s Sig 1911 officer size 45 once and it was smooth as butter. I bet your 22 is the same.

We caught a vandal red footed in the act of vandalizing my barn. I’m glad to report that he is no longer in the vandalizing business thanks to the Shockwave.

I have shot that one and I was convinced that it would be punishing to the hand to fire it, considering the reduced size. I couldn't have been more wrong. It is an amazing piece and like you say, smooth as butter.

I don’t have the Sig, but I have a Kimber the same size, and I agree, you’d think they’d be punishing, but they aren’t. Someone much smarter than me figured out how to spring them just right. Easy to tote and easy to shoot!

Did you let it out of the trap before the boy got to blast it?

I did the blastin’. He opened the cage. And yep, I let him make a run for it, didn’t get far though. But Parker did get to shoot the shockwave.

If you’ve never shot one, forget what you’ve experienced with other types of pistol grip shotguns. This is a different animal all together, very easy to shoot.
