Rimfire Madness: The Infection Begins

Such a shame you beat me to the answer.....

Probably safer that way

No no no! I want his version of the answer!

It’s me. Churchmouse christened me Turbo because of the 500 Abarth I had until just recently.

IIRC new car is also a turbo, Turbo.

No replacement for displacement.

Ok. I’m on the old guy list.

Popping in here to see what all the hubbub is about! I have a stock Thompson Center TC/R22 that needs some love. First off, I need to find a decent and affordable scope for it.

I won the double lottery! More displacement and a bigger turbo!

I wonder if it can use 10/22 triggers...

Scope - Hawke Vantage 3-9x40 AO. $109 on Amazon.

Another vote for this. Dollar for dollar, WELL worth it and has business interests in Indiana.

I do believe the GSG is what CM had and threw the accurazing kit in. That says enough for most people.

Are they all GSG good or just some? The GSG Firefly I hear is a rebranded Sig Mosquito. Thoughts on it? I've not heard good things about the Mosquito, but it could be because people are over-paying.

I wish I knew on that one. I’ve also read the horror stories of the Mosquito not running, but I don’t know if GSG improves anything for the Firefly.

Quick googling, makes it seem like most 10/22 parts will work on the TC. My suggestion would be to call Kidd and ask if the trigger job kit will work.

I have that kit installed on my 10/22 and it’s hard to believe it’s a parts kit.

Thanks! I'm 99% sure it can use all aftermarket parts for the 10/22. It's pretty much a 10/22 that comes with a couple of extra things stock as I understand it.

How fi you like it? That's the one that uses 10/22 parts, right? I almost got one if it's the one im thinking of.

buddy of mine had one of those mosquitos awhile back the only ammo it would shoot was CCI mini mag. Very very picky eater

Experiences like that pretty much killed any interest I had in them. I’m fine with target pistols being picky eaters, but trainers/plinkers should feed everything.
