So, I went to the range with my TKD instructor and her partner yesterday so that she could get some recoil therapy.\u00a0 Among other things, I took that Browning Buck Mark I bought last week.\u00a0 They brought a Mossberg 500 that the instructor bought for home defense, a couple Glocks, a couple S&W airlight .38 snubbies, an AR-7, a pimped out Ruger 10\/22, and a Marlin Papoose.\u00a0 Fun was had by all, and I think we killed a good bit of stress.\u00a0 Everything worked great, even the Bersa 9 that was giving extractor issues on its first trip to the range.<\/p>\n

Then, at the end, it happened.\u00a0 That Buck Mark that I just bought and felt so good in my hands?\u00a0 Yeah, it had a truly bizarre malfunction.\u00a0 Well… um… it turned into a stainless steel Marlin Papoose.\u00a0 Here’s some pics of the aftermath:<\/p>\n

Actually, it’s not that bizarre for me.\u00a0 My last .22 pistol turned into a WASR.<\/p>\n

Turns out my instructor had been desperate enough in her search for a Papoose, that she bid on 3 different guns on an auction site… and won all three auctions.\u00a0 When we sat down for lunch after the range session, she offered to trade me the stainless steel one plus $100 for the Buck Mark.\u00a0 Knowing that she kept coming back to the Buck Mark and practically drooling on it, I agreed.<\/p>\n

The Papoose is a neat little rifle.\u00a0 I’m surprised how accurate it can be considering that the barrel unscrews, and there’s still enough for-stock for me to have decent purchase with my support hand.\u00a0 One thing that I like about it over the AR-7 or the new 10\/22 take down is that it has the ability to lock the bolt open.\u00a0 Also, since Marlin decided long ago to make one magazine for all their .22s, I can use the mags that I have for my 795.\u00a0 I will say that the sights on the Papoose are a heck of a lot better than the other Marlin .22s I’ve owned or shot.\u00a0 The front post is a bright orange plastic and has a protective hood, and I believe the rear notch is more prominent.\u00a0 Which is good, since a scope mounted on the receiver may not keep center as you remove and re-attach the barrel.<\/p>\n

Of course, now I still don’t have a .22 pistol.\u00a0 Ah well, guess that means that I’ll have to go to more gun shows (the horror!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
