Re: took the pistols out today (plus an ugly new addition )
A couple years ago I bought a G21 for the lower which I mated to a Mech-Tec 10mm upper. That is a really fun and accurate way to shoot full power 10mm.
Might I recommend a Mech-Tec upper to go with your G20? The lowers are the same, 20/21.

Nice little shotgun, I didn't know anything about them.
When I left Calif. in August of 98 I sold a Ruger mini-30 to a friend there. Ran it through the local shop to keep my rear covered.

Rusty, being 10mm, .400 I.D, I don't think the Garand extractor would work.
Someone on another board has suggested using a new .45 bore brush. Push it in past the rim of the broken case and then pull back. I'll try that tomorrow.
