A new .22 LBP

[majordisorder]

So who would buy one of these for around £650?

 

[Imperfection]

Part of me would like a LBP because i'd like to do pistol shooting (proper pistol-not my smokey 44), but i think they all tend to look like something Eugene Tackleberry would own.

i would like a .22 pistol but would prefer a 1911.

I`ve said it before, only if they come supplied with a hacksaw

Nice looking gun, I've always thought that pistols would make a good base for a compact semi-auto rifle, and a lot nicer than the bulky offerings we have today! ( not a big fan of the 10/22, and a bit like the Buckmark but even smaller!)

I used to own a Ruger MkII 6" Government, a real reliable tackdriver, I'm guessing the MkIII is even better and if fitted with a slightly longer barrel, scope rail, moderator and stock, it would make a dandy little small game getter especially night shooting rabbits from inside a vehicle, even looked into having one custom built.........unfortunately in the UK, once a pistol, always a pistol! :(

 

Now if Volquartsen Custom would take one of their VC3L MkIII Lightweights or Custom LBP, add a threaded 16.5" THM Tension Barrel (or use the 12" LBP one) scope rail (not Picatinny) and a classy stock to compliment their grips......I would be a happy man! (yes it would cost an arm and a leg, maybe 2, but it would be worth it!!)
