Sixgun, it was a re-barrel! 17.5" bull barrel with 1/9 twist with a Choat night firing flash suppressor/front sight. Likely the company that did it took the 223 cal on the receiver to heart and chambered it JUST for that cartridge! Too late to do anything about it now, it was some 35 years ago,...

That is why I got a Kali Key, LO-PRO version!

FYI, the ammo that broke my Mini14 bolt was WINCHESTER 55gr FMJ 5.56 200 rd. bulk factory ammo! Only got 2 boxes of that stuff. Sixgun, just blacked some green-tip 5.56 rounds and had NO rifling marks, before AND after seating the bullets TEN THOUSANTHS deeper! I think I'm going risk it and try runn...

I'm in Kalifornication, so trades are not likely to happen. Besides, I've got SOME .223 stocked up with more on the way as long as the primers, powder and bullets hold out. With the Mini and an AR in 223 Wylde in the rack I should be good for a while. 8) I was wondering about the feasibility of modi...

1894cfan

What gets me is they have nothing chambered in 40s&w!

1894cfan

Pig Hunter, makes sense to me. Thanks. With that being said, I think I'll go with plan B, pull bullets, reduce powder, re-seat bullets to proper depth. I hope I NEVER have to go that route!

1894cfan

Modifying the firearm is a no go at this point. Modifying the ammo is, and the cheapest. That is why I started this thread.

1894cfan

Ian makes sense in that regard. HOWEVER, the Mini14 I have was re-barreled a long time ago and chambered in .223, likely to match specs. A couple years ago when ammo was getting kinda hard to find, I picked up some from wally world that was labeled 5.56 (there, got the name correct this time) and pr...

1894cfan

Just had a thought, probably the best way of going about it is to pull the bullet, dump the powder and reset the RCBS Uniflow powder measure to throw a grain or two less and reseat the bullet to .223 length. IF I have the time to do all that! I'm just thinking on keeping the Mini running for as long...

1894cfan

Thanks, Bronco. Have a Mini14 that was re-barreled THREE decades ago with a bull barrel and chambered in .223. Made the mistake of shooting 55.6 in it and broke the bolt! Was able to get a replacement off fleabay and got it back up and running. Have a Wolff extra power recoil spring in it now. Just ...

1894cfan

For the sake of a what if scenario, say the supply of 223 is vastly reduced and all that is available is 55.6. What is the best safest way of modifying 55.6 for firing in a rifle chambered in .223? Reseating the bullet down enough to chamber and fire in a .223 rifle? And if so, would that increase t...

1894cfan

Except for the price,

, I wouldn't mind having one in 300BLK to run 11gr 296 and 195gr RCBS 30-180FN-GC ammo through it, especially if it had 5/8-24 thread on the muzzle.

1894cfan

Thanks, AJ. At least somebody makes an armbrace for something other than an AR. Does the AR armbrace thing effect these as well?

1894cfan

That looked like a fun way to water the lawn.

1894cfan

Got a question, does anyone make a brace for HANDGUNS? Such as Glocks or 1911s?

1894cfan

Hey, Harry, have you ever dealt with the law firm of Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe? Three Stooges.

1894cfan

Griff, you having any problems with the lid seals? There's several reviews on Midway that complain about leaking seals.

1894cfan

Wonder what the results would be if all were using the same bullet, ie. 30/30 150gr FN, and all arrived at the game animal at the same velocity for said cartridges. Likely the animal would be just as dead. can't argue with that, but don't you think it would be more dead if shot with a Buckhammer ? ...

Just tested the 13.5gr 2400 load in both pistol and carbine length gas in 16" barrels and it locked back both BCGs!
I wouldn't mind trying this load on a coyote!

Doubt it would do the same with 6gr Trail Boss!

1894cfan

Thanks, Ray. Hodgdon's site gives a load of 6gr Trail Boss with 150gr FMJs, so might give that load a start with the 86 grainers and see what happens. BTW, the way the TB meters out of my powder measure, I've gone to hand weighing each charge. As for the 2400, might as well try my favorite .357 158g...

Have several boxes of Hornady's 30 Mauser 86grRNs and would like to try loading in 300BLK. Anybody got any suggestions on loadings? Don't care if they cycle the action or not. Got unique, trail boss, 2400, h110/296. BTW, they do feed from the magazine of an AR when seated to the cannelure and crimpe...

Good one, Griff!

Just read a report that AB all PO'd that he was charged with Hutchins' death! 'Lil cry baby needs to be put down for a time out with a dunce cap on!

Jeff Cooper talked the talk and walked the walk! NOW, can we get back to the thread subject!?

1894cfan

It's been reported that Russia has shelters for MILLIONS of its citizens! The US? SQUAT! 'Cause that's all yer gonna have time for before the missiles hit!

1894cfan

If I remember right, Hutchin's next project was supposed to be about Hollywood pedophiles! What better way to set her up for a killing than a WESTERN movie set??????????

Bingo. And if so, what it really amounts to.

Likely, as happens all too often these days, just a slap on the wrist!

EVERY time I handle my firearm without touching the trigger, it fails to fire!

Bill, with only a quarter mile to go, did you just get out and hoof the rest of the way? I feel for you, NOBODY likes to admit that they got stuck in mud, not even me!

Gunny, be my guest. Let's see if we can make it an actual word!

Matter of fact, autoloaders ought to be called spitzers 'cause they spit brass everywhere!

I call autoloaders spitzenbrass!

Bill, tell me that FICTIONAL story about the stuck truck. Please?

1894cfan

Yup, all that's true, but at least the aquifers are getting some water to replenish them.

1894cfan

OOPS! Looks like I was wrong, not for the first time, nor the last. Just watched Ian's Forgotten Weapons video on the 1866, it was chambered just in the Henry 44 rimfire, not the 44/40.

1894cfan

Now THAT has more style than my Glock 19!

Actually it's a G23, but I've got a 9mm conversion barrel for it.

1894cfan

Nope, PVT. Schulz. Check out Hickcock45's New Vaquero video on youtube. Made about 12 years ago.

Six, THANK YOU for the pix of all your REALLY nice looking tools! BTW, what make of pocket watch is that? The closest thing I've got to an SAA is a Ruger New Vaquero in .357 just stuffed with Power Custom parts. What got me onto them was I just absolutely hated the original hammer that stuck up a co...
