On the PPK/2 you pull the trigger guard down and to one side that then allows you to release the barrel assembly. Very simple. |

Here's what I read: "Disassembly is similar in some respects to a standard 1911. First, one removes the magazine and disengages the safety. Second, the recoil spring plug at the muzzle must be depressed and the bushing rotated. Once these pieces are removed, the recoil spring slides out easily. After that point, disassembly is similar to the other Walther .22s – The slide is pulled back to lock, and the slide release can be pushed out of the frame. Once you’ve done this, the slide can be pulled back and off the rails of the frame, then pushed forward to clear the slide from the barrel." http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2...t-1911a1-22lr/ Does that sound the same? |

You lock the slide back, knock the barrel out of the groove in the receiver and release the slide. It just comes apart. To reassemble you put the spring on the rod, put the rod in the slide and lock it back, start the barrel in the groove and release the slide. That knocks the barrel back into position. The CZ pistols are...different! :) |

They are not all that well documented. If you like falling water and walking on trails by yourself it is worth looking. Sounds like a great place to take an RV. Yup there are plenty of opportunities to go off the grid for a night or two and then get to a full service park to freshen up the RV. The maid doesn't come into the RV the morning, make up the beds, vacuum, clean the bathroom, take out the trash? :) In an RV, doing all that takes only about a half hour. Not worth hiring a maid for. Ahh, so there is more time to order breakfast from room service! :) We rented houses in Montana and we did not get any of those things. Plenty of room to spread out tho and lots of privacy. Our nearest neighbor in Paradise Valley. (near Yellowstone) http://gfretwell.com/ftp/montana/Par.../SE%20View.jpg This is the house we rented in Bad Rock (near Glacier NP) http://gfretwell.com/ftp/montana/Bad...ry%20House.jpg This was the view from the front porch http://gfretwell.com/ftp/montana/Badrock/horses.jpg We have done both. Nice place to visit as long as it is not winter. My parents and brother are from Western Nebraska. Actually a very interesting area. The sand hills. But mom stated it was -42f one day where she grew up. About 8 miles from Henry, NE 1.5 miles from the Wyoming border. No thanks. Born and raised in the Berkeley, CA. It got maybe 29f once a year and that was cold enough. As to RV etc. have had both RV and truck camper. Both are nice. Truck camper gives good mobility, back roads areas. And cheaper than hotels. And I do treat the wife to B&B's on our trips. |

Montana is nice but good accommodations are particularly pricy. You jump straight from the "Super 8" to $300 a night in the places we were. There are lots of wild woods camping opportunities tho if that works for you. Yeah me neither ;-) There are lots of great hiking trails but you have to look for them.

We like an occasional room service breakfast, particularly on the last day before we fly out. Marriotts usually have a pretty good breakfast. We've done the RV thing several times with several different types of RV's ranging from Class A motorhomes, Class C rigs and a 37 foot fifth wheel rig. The last one we had was the little Sprinter which was just too small for even two people. Although I can appreciate why those who travel and camp at RV places enjoy it, I agree with Harry on this. A nice hotel is the way to go. It's not like I haven't tried the RV travel and campsite scene. It just isn't for me. You are restricted from some roads, you are dependent on campsites, truck stops and WalMart parking lots and, as I found out, RV's require as much maintenance and upkeep as a boat. On this trip to SC, Mrs.E., with the best of intentions, rented a "Kamping Kabin" for me at a KOA for 14 days that is not too far from where my son and his family live in SC. I could have stayed at their house but I like privacy sometimes and with four kids they already had their hands full getting ready for Christmas. I got to the KOA and checked into the Kamping Kabin. Very cute. Had a tiny refrig, microwave, heat and AC. It was on a lake that was very picturesque. I lasted two nights. The water had sand it it, the bed was terrible and the TV didn't work. At night my idea of relaxing isn't sitting around a campfire drinking beer and singing "Home on the Range". I checked out after two days and moved to a suite in a Homewood Suites (Hilton) even closer to where they live. Homewood Suites are designed for long term stays and had a living room, separate bedroom with a very comfortable king sized bed, two TV's that worked, a full kitchen with stove, microwave, dishwasher and full sized refrig. Best of all, they served a fantastic, free breakfast and dinner every day that were as good or better than anything I've had at decent restaurants. Christmas eve was a full course turkey dinner with all the fixin's and even included wine and beer for those who drink. It's all made from scratch on site by a staff cook who comes out of the kitchen and mingles with the customers. It was great. Best of all, the off season daily rate for the room at Homewood Suites was less than the Kamping Kabin at the KOA. Sounds like you had a very enjoyable Christmas and also got the solitude you require at times. What the ell was Mrs E thinking? KOA Cabin in the dead of winter?

We go to some remote areas with and without the boat so the camper is great. Other times hotels or B&B plus wife inherited a timeshare in San Francisco, so we trade that for weeks in some nice places via RCI. The nice thing about a motor home was we bought one for a 7 week trip across the USA in the late 1980's. Did not have to worry about finding an available room, and the kids had room to do hobbies while traveling. Was a 26' class A and we towed a VW rabbit for getting around town. Cost wise, was probably the same or a little more than hotels. Did save on food, and ate healthier. |
