Shoot The Full Moon

Competition Modifications to the Smith and Wesson 625 Revolver

The Smith & Wesson ( S&W ) Model 625 is a six shot double action revolver chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. The 625 will headspace the .45 ACP cartridge in the chambers without use of full moon clips, but since the extractor star cannot engage the rimless cartridge, full moon clips are needed to facilitate ejection. Based on S & W's N (large) revolver frame, the Model 625, was introduced as the .45 CAL MODEL OF 1988. It was a limited edition model intended as an IPSC commemorative. It was equipped with a 5 inch barrel with a full length underlug. Still in production, this revolver has been continously updated and is used by the world’s best IPSC competitors such as Jerry Miculek and Cliff Walsh; thus it is the most popular revolver in used in IPSC competition.

Cliff Walsh is one of the world’s top practical revolver shooters. Here Cliff puts his S&W 625 wheely gun to good effect in Serbia at the EHC 2010, were he finished in second place in Revolver Division

Ruger 10/22 Volquartsen Extended Picatinny Rail Scope Mount

In a world of customised rimfire rifles there are still a lot of standard Ruger 10/22 rifles out there in regular use. One drawback of the 10/22 is the scope mount that comes with the rifle. With the Picatinny Rail now in universal use, this type of mount will not fit the regular 10/22 mount. With this in mind I selected a Picatinny rail scope mount that will fit the 10/22.

The Volquartsen Picatinny rail is secured to the Ruger 10/22 receiver by four screws

NEW Badger Ordnance 34mm Diameter Telescopic Sight Mounting Rings

Badger Ordnance was founded in 1982 to manufacture quality rifles and accessories. As they expanded the range of the custom rifle work they undertook, it became apparent that there was a lack of precision components available to attached telescopic sights to rifles.

In the early 1990’s Badger Ordnance identified the need for quality tactical scope rings and mounts designed to meet the higher demands of the emerging military, law enforcement tactical and target shooting community. Badger Ordnance telescopic rings are machined from steel bar stock or aircraft grade aluminium alloy and are serialised as matched pairs. This assures that both rings are identical and eliminates the effects of machining dimensional tolerances of mismatched mass produced rings. Maximized rings are designed to fit MIL STD 1913 Picatinny optical rails and are finished with Mil Spec black oxide.

All Badger Ordnance scope rings are machined and serialised matched pairs. This assures that both rings are identical and eliminates the effects of machining dimensional tolerances of mismatched mass produced rings.
