.22 and other Rimfire Ammunition Shelflife ?

Many manufacturers of ammunition especially .22LR have a time frame or ''Manufacturers Consent'' of 2 years, what they mean by this is that they do not guarantee the efficiency or effectiveness after 2 years but, having said that, you will find many avid shooters and gun owners worldwide who have .22LR ammunition bought in the 1980's that still functions correctly and is still dead accurate as the day they bought it, it all boils down to storage / conditions.

 



Decades old .22LR Ammo

For example, one factor in .22 ammo is that some bullet lubricants "dry out" and flake off. The lead becomes exposed to ambient air and starts to oxidise. Oxidation changes the dimensions of the exposed bullet so that rounds may not chamber. Loss of lubrication causes bore leading and poor accuracy. 

Various Current .22 Ammunition

Recommended Storage:

• Buy as many Ammunition Containers as you need: Available from Army Surplus stores
• Get Silica Gel packs (kept at bottom of container to absorb any moisture in the air once sealed)
• Keep your store in a cool dry area in your home, Not in the Loft (Attic) - better in a basement or in a cupboard in a room which is at the part of the house which gets less sunlight or does not get much heating in Winter
• As always, make sure children or any other persons cannot gain access to your store

General ammunition Containers available at most Army Surplus Stores - SHTF / Prepping

The Secret to a good Ammo Can is in the Rubber Seal - Inspect before purchasing! SHTF / Prepping

Silica Gel - very recommended for your Ammo Container/s - SHTF / Prepping

Doing a thorough search online, I guarantee you will hear stories of  30, 40, 50 and even 60 year old .22 Ammunition functioning well after having been forgotten in crates in peoples basements or garages, I even found somewhere on a forum a few month's ago someone saying they used the old .22LR Black Powder cartridges that were around 100 years old!

Gun Control Never Solved Anything

Here is proof that banning something will never solve any problems, refer to the page in Wikipedia Gun Politics in the United Kingdom, here is a small snippet from the extensive and obviously well researched article:

'' After the 1996 atrocity, legislation was introduced in 1997 to prohibit, with some extremely specialised exemptions, pistols of all calibres and "Small firearms" with a barrel length of less than 30 cm or an overall length of less than 60 cm. Subsequently firearm homicides increased in the UK by 89% over the decade to 2009. ''

Why must we sit back and watch our alternative sports be slowly killed off?, why must we be punished for the wrong doings of a very Very small percentage of the population? Disarming citizens is Not the Solution - it is a Birth / God Given Right to Self Defence, no Government or Authority should ever encroach on that! no matter what the ''overall majority'' says

In Favour or Gun control?

Then you're also in favour of

Assault

Robbery

Rape

Murder

and Genocide ....

It's a package deal !

 

Gun Control China Execution

 

Sexy Tactical Firearm of the Month: GSG-5E

This time around we will be featuring Tactical Rifles for the ''sexy firearm of the Month'' post & Today we have gone all out with this one, German engineering FTW!

The GSG-5 was launched in 2007 by German Sports Guns GmbH, the rifle is similar in design to the HK and some interchangeable parts makes it highly attractive to total gun nuts, further note that parts are also interchangeable from Airsoft variants too!



GSG 5 E .22LR Tactical

^ Myself if I ever got to fondle one >>

Chambered in .22LR, various magazine sizes are said to be available including a 110 round Drum Magazine.
Heckler & Koch has also won a lawsuit against GSG and the end result was that GSG had to stop manufacture of the rifles and had an allowable cut off date of sale of existing manufactured firearms (Until 31 January 2010) Contovercially, the American ATF in the Same Month decided that the previosuly approved Barrel Shroud (which was added to give the look of a real suppressor) was actually a suppressor despite the fact that it was not capable of operating as an actual ''silencer'' and therefore Recalled the Rifles under the National Firearms Act.
