$60 a flat? Good luck, mi amigo.
Haven't checked on the Ruger 22-10 or .44 cal in years! In the mid-60's when I worked in a B&M pipe, cigar, and tobacco shop; there was a gun shop adjacent complete with 4 gunsmiths! IIRC, the 22-10 was about $24-26 in blue steel. The .44 cal was $52-54. How times (and prices) have changed!!Check Buds Gun shop and Grabagun online. Grabagun had the stainless on sale about a month ago. Still pricey but available. The ones I see advertised are generally in the 5 to 600 range.

Sorry to hear about your BIL.The blued is still a nice gun if the price is right.My bro-in-law and hunting buddy passed away recently and my SIL has his 10-22 for sale, but I just looked: blued barrel
Yessir, dramatically, especially the last few months. I bought my first Ruger Security Six, 4" stainless from a coast to coast store in Iowa that was getting out of the gun business. Paid $120. Like an idiot sold it when I left the midwest for Cali. To replace it with a used 4" blue 3 years ago cost me over 400. Try buying a vintage Colt Python or Diamondback. Talking 6\7K minimum.Haven't checked on the Ruger 22-10 or .44 cal in years!

Yep, the older guns just ooze class and nostalgia. Recently picked up a model 1894 Marlin lever in 357 from a Ranger pal. He was going to use it with his Prescott Regulators outfit but never fired it. Now it's mine, mine, mine, hehe.Sweet! Glad you were able to pick it up! I was recently given my late father-in-law's Winchester 1890 in .22WRF. It's well used but still a tack driver and oozes class and family provenance...
It sure is. All of the hospitals around here are maxed out with covid patients. A very good friend is the local cardiologist. He told me the 23 covid patients in our hospital, none of them were vaccinated.Bout time, eh?
You know, things have been picking up here and there recently it seems…but with the also recent explosion of the Covid Delta variant I’m guessing that we’ll go through another period of very shirt supply.
It's also sometimes referred to as 9mm parabellum, which was the original German designation. Also don't confuse it with 9mm Kurtz which is .380 auto.9mm is sometimes listed as 9mm Luger. The 9mm is almost always the standard stuff…unless it says 9mm Corto which means “short” which is the 380 ACP. FMJ = full metal jacket…and there is HP = hollow point, etc.
Read me…

BH, you are right .I have used them and they won't cycle in a semi auto. But they shoot fine in my 22 revolvers.I don’t use or even try subsonic. I don’t think it would cycle the 10-22 action. I don’t shoot where noise would be a nuisance so there’s no need.
