Leaving RI sure has made it easier to enjoy my firearms hobbies. Since moving to an American state I have become an Appleseed instructor and coach for an NRA youth rifle program. Last year I created a half-day clinic on rifle maintenance, and based on that spent a couple hundred hours writing a book about the 10/22, which has become one of my favorite rifles. The book is designed for the new or casual 10/22 owner, who wants to understand thoroughly how this rifle works, how to diagnose and fix malfunctions, and how to maintain it properly.
After finalizing The 10/22 Companion book for publication, I keep encountering new situations that deserved to be covered, including issues people had with malfunctions, rifle fit or operating their rifles smoothly. It became clear that we needed a blog to deal with new situations and questions as they come up. The blog will cover operating tips, function tweaks, new product reviews, and other topics of interest as they come up, so updates will not be daily. So far we have articles on making the rifle safe safely, an unusual malfunction situation, and making transitions in 3-position shooting smoother. I am working on a comparison test of various brands of snap caps, and a future article documenting the process of bedding the action on one of my 10/22s.
Once we figure out how the video editing software works, we plan to have regular video posts as well. Next year I plan to write about another popular firearm and am considering either the Ruger Mark pistols or the Marlin 60 and 795 siblings.
The blog is non-commercial, and is separate from the book's commercial website 1022Companion.com. I hope you will find it interesting and useful.
