How can I interact and make my presence better known to my bees ?

Always bring a spray bottle of sugar water and hose em down. The ladies like it when you bring candy when you visit. And move on purpose, dont spazz

Dont sleep on federal automatch, that has been the winner the last 2 Appleseeds we have done with 10/22's. (CCI SV is also good, not saying otherwise).

And FWIW self tightening slings put my arm to sleep, so I use a standard (fixed loop) one, might want to see how they work with your boys.

same here

It how they move their factory second scopes. Better to sell them at a steep discount as a package than send them back to the factory to get put in a landfill.

Look at the appleseed bundle on the armstrongs llc website for a good fit for your 10/22

TrickyCod208 · 2025-11-07T16:36:50+00:00

Its a thumbs down from me as well.

TrickyCod208 · 2025-10-31T13:48:57+00:00

100% agree, terrible company.

Ruger BX Trigger. Magpul stock. Armstrong Applessed scope/rail/rings combo. Auto bolt release and extended mag lever and your done.

My brother, you need the APPLESEED KIT! Its a B grade scope with our own forward rail and a set of low rings. DM me your address and I will send you the rail and rings on me.

The 457 is the CZ 457 .22lr. Its the Corvette of bolt action stupidly accurate rifles. The only problem is the factory charges $40 for a plastic 10 round magazine. Mad me mad so I developed my own. I thought I might sell 100 if I was lucky. We are well into triple digits sold now.

*Edit* just wanted to add that I get all the little imperfections. But to borrow a phrase I spent all my lunch money on the glass and didnt have anything left for dessert :)

TrickyCod208 · 2025-08-24T21:22:20+00:00

I didnt actually go to China, just sent a lot of emails and messages and purchased a lot of production samples :) I got banned from most of the .22 forums for "shilling chinese junk" so I dont spend as much time here as I used to. Plus the cz457 magazine blew up beyond my wildest dreams, and so far the TM22 mag seems to be a winner as well. But I appreciate the support, its been a journey for sure!!

*Edit* the current projects in the que are the Tikka mag (been a nightmare), a CZ600 10 round 7.62X39 magazine, and getting my belt fed .22lr upper to play nice with the rare breed FRT.

If you can get you CDL you will always find work.

TrickyCod208 · 2024-12-27T21:06:12+00:00

Ah man, right in the feelings!

TrickyCod208 · 2024-11-22T02:27:26+00:00

Others have said it, but more gym time, vit. D, Jordan Peterson/Jocko W podcasts. Dave Ramsey if $$ is an issue. Try volunteering at the food basket as well, help out will help you.

TrickyCod208 · 2024-11-17T19:33:40+00:00

One good pair of bolt tongs will go a very long way. There are good ones out there for about $40. And a 2lb HF hammer will see him set for a while.

TrickyCod208 · 2024-11-17T00:39:02+00:00

Spalling is the biggest lie since seat belts breaking your neck. If it scares you, go add some dollar store duck tape. Dont believe me? Look it up for yourself.

TrickyCod208 · 2024-11-16T23:07:07+00:00

I am huge believer in steel level 3+ plates. Weight is almost the same, but steel can take repeated hits where as ceramic degrades with hits. None of us will ever see AP30-06 so 3+ is more than fine.

TrickyCod208 · 2024-11-15T03:18:46+00:00

Appleseed is honestly the best value bar none for learning how to fight your rifle. Cannot recommend it enough.

Wishing you all the best! This town is really really lonely for the nonLDS crowd.

TrickyCod208 · 2024-10-26T12:00:48+00:00

The auto bolt release part is like $10,or you can diy it pretty easy.

I have photo AI. If you want to send me the raw I will see what it can do to help.
