My Franklin Armory 10-22 binary kit got here yesterday, and beautiful afternoon was today! I put the kit in my 10-22 Charger this morning and the only “scary” part was installing the spring & detent for the safety ... it got away once but I was working on a fuzzy blanket and with a dab of grease on the spring, it did not bounce & disappear! After lunch I went to the range and only one of the pistol ranges was empty (I really didn’t want anyone watching yet). I zeroed the scope and it was close at 25yards, a couple adjustments and the other 8 went in the 10 ring. The learning curve is almost ZERO! (I do have other kits but haven’t practiced much with them.) I was using 25 round Ruger mags and ripping them so fast I’m sure people on the ranges adjacent to me had to be thinking I was shooting full-otto, but in truth there were a couple short pauses, but it was almost as fast as my M16 with my CMMG PDW 22 M16 upper. I bought my kit on GunBroker, it was the least expensive one listed with “Buy it Now” ... IIRC it was $267 shipped Priority Mail ... about the same as a low-end new 10-22. I’ve got 3other Franklin Armory kits, a MP5, CZ EVO, and AR15 ... but the 10-22 with the lightest bolt and recoil, it’s easily the most controllable. At 50yards we have a human steel silhouette. I was shooting Mini-Mags through a form1 suppressor, in binary mode. I was dinging it with every round ... and walked away with a huge grin! Lastly, I was sure I had enough 22LR put back for my grandkids, and maybe a little left for the great-grandkids ... but now I’m not so sure! This message has been edited.
