We did go through about 300 rounds of .22 that day.

Cherokee Gun and Pawn had 2 on the shelf about a week ago! Go get one! :D
I almost bought a conversion kit but wound up grabbing a 10/22 Talo edition (tacticool) for $199! No brainer and a hellova lot of fun to shoot. Absolutely no FTF's with at least 2000 rounds so far.
