Thanks man. I actually ended up finding one a block away from my house this afternoon, and I was able to get the pillar-bedding done.
Here are a few shots of the process:
Bottom metal came in today too:
All she needs now is a coat of paint
TCB, I decided to get my TAC-65 recored with stainless steel baffles, so I sent it off to Huntertown Arms yesterday. Until, I get it back, I am gonna be using the Sparrow SS.

Nice work, looks good.
Awesome. I'll be waiting a while. I do need to grab a scope to put on that CZ so I can at least shoot some 22 during the wait.
Got a ton of new springs and upgrades in for my buckmark this week. I'll be knee deep in that all weekend.
Well, the buckmark wasn't near as complicated as I thought it was going to be for the springs I needed to replace. The internet made it sound like you needed 8 hands to remove the grips... I've replaced about damn near everything on it that could wear out or be upgraded. I hope it shoots!
Good luck man. It's out there, you've just gotta be right place/right time.
Decided to pin the pillar in place for a little extra security
Ready for range time
Ready for range time
I think it was ammo problems mainly. It ran fine with Federal Automatch. But Federal champion and remington golden bullets were a coin flip on whether it would work, stove pipe, fail to eject, or fail to fire when the trigger was pulled.
Agree. Buying any other .22 auto for targets is dumb
The reason I went with a buckmark over the ruger was I could add the tacsol barrel without the additional cost/hassle of using a FFL. Both have tremendous followings. But yeah, I never had a day like this with my old Mark III. But this is also a 25yr old beater buckmark that I picked up in a pawn shop in the ghettos of clarksdale.. I expected it to be a bit of a project. I'll get a new extractor and replace the firing pin and springs prior to the next trip to the range to see if that helps on the crappier ammo.
Nolen, you can't have too many .22s.
TCB, throw away your Remington golden bullets; they are garbage, and miss-feed in every one of my autos.

I'll try them in my Ruger Single Six and bolt guns before tossing them, fortunately they were free. Terrible product.
Bought this today. AR 15 .22
Did this at 100 yds.
