Mine like all the rest of my rimfires is not 22 lr, but 22 mag. It's a Henry. Sorry can't figure out how to post a picture.

Mine from DGL were all quality stuff, even the one I managed to ruin... ::)

I disagree.  I find the font is harder to see well and significantly slows down my reading speed. 

I have to agree with that, the font is harder to read.


I would respectfully suggest folks having issues use their computer's "zoom" feature to change from 100% to 110% (or more), so reading gets a lot easier for those effected, w/o having to shift the view to read lines for their full width.

You can always use the control and mouse scroll to make the font larger...

22 mag, and yes I have some snake shot.

AS most know I made my own. Slightly smaller at the top than BW grips, but definetly 2 finger grips, and wood (Walnut and Cherry).
#9
Some time back there was a similar thread and I think at the time I had over 1500 rounds through my BW. That was several years ago and it is still ticking.
#10
 No longer made and when they were (like the venom laser) they were a waste of good money.

Darvell I don't know enough about computers except to turn them on so to speak . I'm what you say "I'm computer illiterate" .  ;)

Yep, many of us are that way. I still own and use a flip phone.

Taurus may make good centerfire revolvers, but the rimfires I have seen have been all over the place; very inconsistent triggers.
#13
I t looks like NAAs strategy is working 65 visors today, almost all guests. Soon, there will be too few regulars to bother with.
#14
We have been efectivelt shut up and shut out. Sad.
#15
Wish they made them in .22 mag...I've, at least, never seen one.

I make my own grips, but my leather work is not good. That comes from DGL.
#17
I saw a 22lr standard a friend had. I searched all over, ordered a catalog,and asked a ton of questions on this forum, No, none of the gun stores near me carry any, but they did order them for me. I have been on this forum ever since (2016). I have two, and carry one every day, so if one goes down I have another while waiting for it to be fixed. Yes, both of mine have been back to NAA (note the solid hammer on my Wasp), and been repaired. The BW laserlight venom never did get straightened out, after 3 tries I quit. I changed out the BWs adjustable sights, for fixed. Other than that, my guns function the way they should.

Talk to you later [email protected].

I didn't like the original grips so I made my own, with some help, from a guy on this forum. I bought holsters from another guy on this forum...

I am not sure the new mgt is not shooting themselves in the foot. Around me there are no NAAs in gunshops,though they all seem to be able to order them. I had to figure out what I wanted (yes I ordered a catalog) after seeing one a friend had purchased. I did that with some help from guys on this forum. Without our active support, I am not sure where they are getting their sales, although it must be somewhere. I don't do gun shows.
#20
Nope, the Pugwinder doesn't do anything for me. You take the Pug grips off and use Wasp grips and leave the gun looking like a brick. MM or BW grips won't work. Sorry, it is not for me.

GUESS I WILL LIKELY TO TRANSITION OUT OF THE FORUM. I HAVE THE 2 NAAs I AM LIKELY TO BUY (as I am not a "collector "), AND ONLY COME FOR THE CONVERSATION. WHEN THE CONVERSATION GOES, SO WILL I. IF I WANT NAA CONTENT I WILL USE THE FACEBOOK PAGE. YOU GUYS CAN pm me IF YOU WANT. Sorry the company has lost it's guiding principals, when Sandy left. 5 of my aqaintances have bought NAAs (3 BWs, 1 Wasp, one a different one than mine), after seeing mine. I think that too will end. On the facebook page I will still extol the virtues of DGL, but I am afraid he too will take a hit from your descision. Sounds like they may be closing up shop.

I had to send in my BW I bought around Christmas as the top portion of the back sight keep sliding off no matter how hard I turned down the set screw or added locktite.  They got it back in just over a month.

a Long time ago I replaced the adustable sites with fixed. They seemingly always came loose.
#23
I had no problem getting through to NAA via the website email, and they told me they knew and were working on it. Today I got through to the forum via NAAs website but I had to bookmark the forum over as the old bookmark did not work.

Hey, my old van! Yeah, anyone who wants to could find me easily enough.

"Hey Al,
What do you identify as now??"
Forcalbly retired... :(

"I have to ask al how long does it take you to make a canoe like that?"
A little over 100 man-hours.




Even as retired, I still seem to be involved in Boating. This is a scale model of my boat in the garage, yes being worked on...Hopefully ready in the Spring.


Where would you sail it Lake Walenpaupack ?

It is a trailer sailer, so Walenpaupack is an option as is Nockamixon, Beltsville,  Marsh Creek and the Jersey shore (Bays).
#26
Oh well. None of mine are 22lr, all of mine are 22 mag... Life goes on.

Yep, I have been saying that for years, but I made mine...

Rogue,
That looks like a nice set up!!! I presume the caliber is 223/5.56? or 300 Whisper??

When ever I see more posters about missing Fidos & Fluffies,I know that there is some serious coyote activity.

I have a feeling that the coyotes in my area (New England) are crossbreeding with wolves or German Sheperds because they are 60+ lbs

I hope that you have great success in your coyote adventures.

                                                                                                        Top Dog

Yep, the cross- breeds are called Coy-wolves...

This will do...

Those grips are like the Wasp's grips...not like the Pug grips...

Mine is the Small Game version, with an octagon barrel and peps sights from the factory. Mine is the 17" barreled carbine version. Older picture; and of course 22 mag.
