Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is entirely focused on rimfire firearms and their related fields. Last week we had a really nice discussion about two of my favorite rimfire handguns, the Ruger MK IV and the SIG P322. While I correctly guessed that most of you would much prefer the MK IV 22/45, I was actually quite surprised just how many of you like the P322 for what it is and what it does. I had the preconceived notion that a majority of people who have owned them actually don’t like them based on online feedback. However, based on everything you guys said in the comments last week, it seems to me that the P322 is indeed a fun plinker… at least when it works! This week we’re going to talk about a pistol that most of you guys either haven’t even heard of or have scrubbed from your memory entirely due to the litany of problems the poor rimfire pistol had over its brief 10-year lifespan. Today we’ll be talking about the George Kellgren-designed Interatec TEC-22 22LR semi-automatic pistol. While it might look like a boring plastic polymer 22LR pistol, the TEC-22 has a lot of interesting features that make it worth looking over or maybe even owning as a collector’s item.

Springfield Armory has a new Gear Up promotion for 2024. Purchasers of a Waypoint 2020 or Redline 2020 centerfire rifle can get a free Model 2020 Rimfire Target rifle. That rimfire rifle has an MSRP of $434, so this is quite a bit more valuable than the usual spare magazines in the Gear Up promo!

Heritage Manufacturing Co. have announced additions to their Badlander side by side shotgun range. Joining their 12 gauge are new .410 and 20 gauge versions. The Badlanders have a pair of 18.5-inch barrels with a black oxide finish and a walnut stock. The guns have an overall length of 35 inches and weigh in at around 100 ounces unloaded. They have brass front bead sights and tang safeties. The new Badlanders join their Barkeep and Rough Rider revolver lines and their Settler lever-action and Rancher revolving rifles. Heritage Manufacturing Co. did not include an MSRP for the two new shotguns in their announcement but the 12 gauge version of the Badlander has an MSRP of $893.99.

Welcome everyone to the  TFB Armorer’s Bench! As mentioned in the little blurb below, this series will focus on a lot of home armorer and gunsmith activities. In this article, I am going to explain how the Savage Model 101 is disassembled but more importantly, caution anyone against doing it. It is nothing like a Single Action Army or Single Six. I realize that is no fun but it should be known right off the bat that there is a step in disassembly that could literally lock up the gun so that it cannot be further disassembled or reassembled. It’s a pretty needless flaw and I will explain why. Without much more jibber jabber, let’s dive into something y’all requested, some Savage Model 101 disassembly!

In part 1 of this article, I wrote the history of North Korean AKs and how four different sets of markings on those guns helped to conceal the North Korean identity of the weapons. However, if you look at actual features, it is pretty easy to identify a North Korean AK. When factories started mass production of their AKM variant they attempted to cut costs and inadvertently created a gun with plenty of odd details.
