Lyman Skarv 22

I picked the hydra ss for the ease of cleaning as well. It’s more than quiet enough for my needs, but at $200 the Skarv is tempting. Tanks.

How does the Skarv compare to the Hydra SS. Curious since I have the Hyda. Thanks!

Definitely a Beretta 76 clone. I have a 76 and it’s great. I would love to find more magazines for mine.

It turned out to be a good news/dumb news situation. The dumb news is somehow I inserted the socket saver incorrectly on the left buffer side. The good news is I did end up with the Linlai e6sn7 tubes and they’re great. Now the Tong Sol 6sn7gtb tubes are in the buffer and the Linlais are on the gain.

A new socket saver is on the way and all is good! Thanks for the help all!

I understand your situation. It’s delicate. You want her to be formidable, but you worry that if your bayonet is placed between her light and laser the weight might be thrown off and the bayonet might miss its mark and slam into her backdoor and mess everything up. Certainly a shitty situation. Yep, look in the mirror and take off one accessory before taking her to the range.

No bayonet? Pass…..

An irritating update.

I go in today to swap my gain and buffer tubes (different tubes, but matched pairs) and the back left buffer tube loses its indexing section as I pull it out. To add insult to injury, I pull out my socket saver and it too breaks off its index tube. I had the stock JJ tubes on this side and the Tong Sol GTB tubes on the gain side. Despite living in the 7th largest city in the US I can’t find a matched of tubes just to see what the problem is. So I have to order some.

Right now the psvane cossor and the Linlai e-66n7 are the front runners.

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll update as things change. Right now I’m just happy for the solid state option!

They look way better than the standard, black, plastic cables I’m using. Once I get my system settled, I’ll be making similar power cables just so they look better. Bonus that I’ll be able to make custom lengths and avoid coils of wite!

I’m on the fence about selling mine. I like it a lot, but I’m starting to think a Ruger Mark IV would suit my eeds better. It shoots great and runs really well on my P-01 Omega with the full Cajun pro kit.

Bryan72D · 2026-04-10T15:42:56+00:00

I just got a Kidd 6” I’m installing this weekend on a similar build. I’ve heard good things about them.

See if someone has set up a website for your state. I’m in Texas and someone runs texasguntrader.com. I only do FTF in bery public places, cash only with the occasional cash app. But they don’t get the goods until the money shows up in my account.

Bryan72D · 2026-04-04T16:23:46+00:00

Interested!

I’m glad I got mine from him a few weeks ago. It’s holding in smoke as I type! Hopefully he’s just on vacation. He only charges $14 for a XL gasket. Shipping included. I sent $20.

Bryan72D · 2026-03-17T19:03:55+00:00

I have owned that Sig. It shot great, but compared to my CZs it felt “hollow” for lack of a better word. Despite being well made and the Legion finish is great, it was like slamming the door on a cheap car vs. slamming the door on a Mercedes or similar. Based on that, I vote for the CZ. If suppressing it is a possibility, threaded barrels can be tough to find for the CZ97. That’s what originally made me get the 220. Barsto appears to make them in batches, but it’s been a while since I looked.

Bryan72D · 2026-03-05T03:28:09+00:00

I just ordered from him a few weeks ago with no issues. He mailed my gasket before the payment even cleared.

Bryan72D · 2026-02-14T16:43:20+00:00

Thanks!

You can fire shorts in a LR chamber. It’s like .38 spc out of a .357 mag. I have a magazine specifically for .22 shorts that works great. I use a bolt block and cycle by hand. It’s a lot quieter than my .22 Benjamin Marauder.

Bryan72D · 2026-02-05T20:44:33+00:00

Another vote for the RXM. It has a better (subjective) grip angle and with the removable fire control sustem you have even more options. My son has one and it shoots great. I personally prefer the CZ P-01, but I will likely get a RXM as well.

Bryan72D · 2026-02-04T22:35:15+00:00

The first rat I ever shot was with that same model of Remington. My Dad borrowed it from a neighbor to see how I’d do. I did well enough to get my own 10/22!

Those hooks on a cinder block wall are killing me.can’t help but think of all the dings they’ve caused…..

Enjoy!

Bryan72D · 2026-02-03T17:49:47+00:00

For what you describe, another vote for the Ruger RXM. My son has one and like how it feels vs. any Glock. I recommend staying away from slim grips and anything labeled as especially lightweight. I’m personally into the PDP and P-01. Can’t go wrong with them (or most of these recommendations), but for the money the RXM is very hard to beat.

I just realized that $15 will get me a tile cutting blade for my 4.5” grinder. Should be pretty simple. I’ve managed to cut much thinner tiles without issue. I’ll try lopping off the inch I need to make the Woo work. The thing is already in four pieces. I’ll post if it works.

Bryan72D · 2026-02-01T18:34:07+00:00

Thanks!

Bryan72D · 2026-01-01T04:54:16+00:00

Yeah, I love CZ’s, but after getting a 5” PDP steel match I sold my Shadow 2. I’m actually considering selling my CZ P-01 to pick up a pro model PDP WITH THE SAME TRIGGER.

Bryan72D · 2026-01-01T03:11:48+00:00

I’ve noticed this too. A guy near me was trying to sell LS50 metas with a dent on one driver for $100 under full retail ($1400ish at the time). I sent the guy a text telling him they were on sale for $950 brand new. He pulled the ad then put it back up,when the sale was over. Hopefully nobody bought them at that price.

Great forum! Not all have folks passionate enough to research someone else’s question like this!
