Episode #14 - Country Boy Guns

Episode #19 - 21 Shart

Episode 19, “21 Shart,” is another classy descent into rimfire chaos, bad financial decisions, and public embarrassment thinly disguised as content. We hit listener and Discord topics including 10/22 advice, .22 single actions, pistol-mounted thermal optics, Steel Challenge scores, the 2AD Plinky suppressor, and the Beretta 20X Bobcat, because apparently everyone has a problem and none of us are qualified to help. Dusky survives another rimfire steel match and asks the eternal question — who loaded this mag? — while Dan wrestles with Gemtech mistakes, .22 mag derringers, fresh suppressor mounts, and an R50 SBR decision he may or may not deserve. Gat-Lab brings the main event with a thorough 21 Sharp autopsy featuring ruptured cases, out-of-battery firing, and enough disappointment to justify the title, while ARDREW talks Staccato Ranch, his wife shooting her first gun, and sending a Galil off for work because this show is basically a support group with poorer impulse control.

Episode #18 - OKIST

Episode 18, “Okist,” drags listener and unofficial Rimfire Radio father figure Okist into the circus, mainly because he is old as shit and Gat-Lab apparently got lost on the way to the internet. We hit Rimfire Challenge Nationals, the FarrowTech FT-M Kit for the KelTec P17, scope recommendations for a Ruger 77/17 in .17 HMR, and enough half-baked rimfire projects to make a financial advisor start drinking. Dusky beats on his Charger and starts lusting after precision bolt guns, Dan fondles an Ithaca M49 and other .22 oddities, and ARDREW rambles about Ruger Mk3s, VSS-22s, Vortex glass, Outlier cans, and polymer ARs. It is rimfire talk, centerfire detours, absentee co-host slander, and the kind of deeply unserious behavior that keeps our mothers disappointed.

Episode #17 - KNOB JOB

Episode 17, “Knob Job,” is packed with the usual rimfire nonsense, questionable maturity, and enough gear talk to make your wallet nervous. We dig into listener topics like the S&W 422/622, weird and wonderful Discord finds, suppressor hosts, 3D-printed TX22 chassis, the Woox Elegante, and whatever Dayle keeps sending us to make us feel poor. Dan gets his Hammerli back from Walther, ARDREW shows off a very green Franklin Armory F-17X, Dusky brings competition stories and Beretta energy, and Gat-Lab prepares to run questionable guns in questionable ways. We also take the mandatory centerfire detour with tiny pistols, AR FRT laughs, gun-store mistakes, Mock 18 problems, and ARDREW’s new IWI Jericho.

Episode #16 - The GAT is back!

Episode 16 marks the triumphant-ish return of The Gat Lab after a few weeks of mysterious absence, so naturally we spend some quality time dragging him for it. Dusky does what Dusky does best and talks competitive shooting, Dan gets shockingly fast customer service from Walther on his Hammerli repair, and ARDREW continues his spiritual journey of waiting for Ruger to send a shipping label for his brand-new GP100 warranty claim. Somehow, through all of that, we remain dangerously entertaining.

Episode #15 - Rimfire Roulette

In this episode of Rimfire Radio, the crew rips through wild Discord discussions on spray painting guns, bargain .22 uppers, Rougarou pull gauges, and hunting for solid .22 WMR and bolt action options. We sink deep into the tinkering trenches covering MK3-QF2 Charger builds, 10/22 recoil spring tests, trigger upgrades, rotary safety swaps, and ARDREW's fresh GP100 .22LR order — including the critical Hogue wood grip debate to make Okist proud. Dan deals with his Force B1 barrel RMA headache and suppressor purchase failures while we detour into some centerfire talk.
