I don't seem to be on any "Bang Lists" (want to be, though), so I need to pose a question to the gang...can you pass the word for me ?

PM just bought a new/used Rem. 522 Viper .22 rifle...got it almost unused, cheap.

Woah ! This is an INCREDIBLY accurate rifle (discontinued in 1998), with 7 kinds of ammunition! I am AMAZED! I'm not even going to scope it...iron sights perfect and fast at 200 yards! I skip cans w/10 rounds, off-hand. Obvious problems with obnoxious plastic magazine, will get new ones. Truly horrible plastic junk. Trigger absurdly heavy. Oh well. But...my question is...what can I use to FILL this hollow, reverberating hollow stock ? It's LOUD ! I am considering "Great Stuff" from the hardware store. Any ideas ?

Also...what is the best dry or other lubricant. I use Rig and Break-Free, but is there anything new...better? I just HATE this rubbing plastic sound in there. Like my old Nylon 66...but this rifle already shoots better than anything but my bolt, target rifle.

The *Bang_List is a collection of gun related threads that are here http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/involved?group=152

Bookmark the page.

If you make a thread or someone makes one that is gun related, just type in *Bang_List into the address field. That's where the person's name goes. Don't forget the * because some guy from DU used Bang list as a handle.

I was just going to suggest Great Stuff but I didn't know the name of it until now when I checked in the garage.

Since it's so dry in Texas, I just use BreakFree. I'm not familiar with the dry lubs. Probably anything with a graphite base.

How is the picture transfers going? Any luck?
