I ordered 2 of those nice looking Swiss PE57 Bayonets from RTG, but haven’t gotten them yet.

Does anybody have a few boxes of 22lr non-lead ammo I can buy? Like: Winchester Super-X Ammunition 22 Long Rifle 26 Grain Hollow Point Lead-Free. I think CCI makes some too.
I found a fella on Calguns.com who is willing to sell me 320 rounds, but he’s taking too long. I need a few boxes to take my grandson hunting by Sat, Nov 2.
I got my RTG Beryl parts and the Yugo M70b grenade spigot.
Robert is not a slick operation, but excellent service.
I had to email because I got no email verification.
They responded with 5 mins and said I forgot to put in my email and that the order shipped.
I got it the next day, the “used parts were as new”
Thanks Robert RTG!
Anybody go to the Alamo yesterday for the open carry rally?
Ping for later

I sighted in my 10/22 yesterday with old lead 22lr ammo.
With Dad’s projects 99% finished, I’ve been bringing down some of the new 110 mags for 8 calibers, each night - mainly for AR-15/AR-10/Beowulf .50cal battle rifles - to load-up and break-in the stiff springs. I smell ‘something’ coming.
I’m using both Stripper and LULA (thanks Clint, ‘frog & mylife for that great tip on LULA) Loaders and am going to let them sit for 1-2 weeks, and rotate-in other new units, after a few drops of oil go into the mags’ springs. Would Lithium be better or would that draw too much debris?
I found that using cheap ass Remington Thunderbolt ammo, 6 out of 10 would not fire in the Ruger 10/22 take down rifle due to light primer strikes.
I then fed all the worthless cartridges into a early 80’s Ruger MKII pistol and they all went BANG BANG BANG.
Conclusion:
The New 10/22 needs oiled, OR it has light firing pin.
Works fine with Federal ammo.
Do not use Lithium grease.
Been down that road, it does pick up debris that could cause tight tolerance rifles to jam.
You can use it in sloppy tolerance rifles like AK but it serves no purpose, you can run those DRY.
I tried machinist cutting compound at one point thinking it would stand up to heat and lubricate.
All it did was pick up sand.
Thunderbolt is both unreliable and filthy. Wouldn’t buy it if it was $5 a brick.
Thanks!
Nice site, but no go. Have been to all the usual online sites.
Djoo hear that fellow talking slam fires?
Those guns use a floating firing ping.
Just keep them cleaned and lightly oiled, Prolly best to run the firing pin dry.
I just spray them out with a solvent light lube like Ezzox
I’ve never seen any lead free .22 ammo for sale in Texas.
I’m in a lead ban area of CA. The fella I’m buying from just moved to OK from CA and no longer needs them. Soon, all of CA will be under a lead ban thanks to our libs and Gov Moonbeam.
I bought a pile at $10 a brick.
Lowly ammo but it works fine in the Marlin 60 and the Ruger MkII.
No go in the Ruger 10/22 takedown.
BTW The Bolt lock in the Ruger 10/22 sucks.
That needs modification.
Honest to God, Brother, I use a light dry oil over a heavy viscous oil, even in high temp areas.
Dextron ATF fluid works well.
