Caster

I don't beleive a 32/20 chamber would clean up. As far as the lever gun, the only thing other than the barrel that might need workin on would be the elevator. It might need some attention to make it feed.....but I doubt it and would have to try it before I monkeyed with it. You are dead on about .22 though. This is a suitable replacement for the .22. I can load it cheaper than the current can't find it pricing for .22 ammo. I've got a couple of plinker loads working that cost me about 6¢ each to load. The most serious cast loads cost no more than 7-8¢ and obviously go up exponentially if you're loading jacketed stuff. Although, if one could get a line on some mil surp pulls .......maybe even culls no one wants because of pull marks, they'd still work fine for 25 yard plinking.

I think one COULD load it up to Tokarev levels.  Don't see a need to.  Doesn't mean I won't try it.     Ohh, were I to run across a steal on a 357 lever gun, this would be the conversion it gets.  

I thought about that, but revolvers just do not like bottle necks do they?  It would be very cool AND, if I were gonna do it, I'd do it to a Blackhawk in .30 carbine.  barrel is correct, throats are correct, just ream the chambers and go.   Velocity can easily exceed 32-20 if I wanna push on it,  I don't, but I could safely get well on past 32-20 just because the brass and action strength exceed any of the old 32-20's with the exception of a Contender.  Even then, case failure would be the deciding factor and a 32-20 case is certainly thinner than a 38 special.

A friend of mine worked this little wildcat up. I got mine built and finally got to shoot it this morning. Basically, it's an easier to deal with, 32/20. Using a 7,62x25 Tokarev sizer, push a .38 special case through in one shot. You end up with a .30 Tokarev shoulder with a longer neck. Water measurements are about .1g with the 32/20 case so data is interchangeable. The distinct advantage is .38 special brass is EVERYWHERE. My rifle is built on an SB-2 rifle action [H&R hand] so short of loading a case full of bullseye, it'll hold whatever I want to try as long as I use a little common sense. The barrel was made by stubbing a .30 cal barrel into a 12g shotgun barrel and machining the extractor to match. The barrel is completely free float. The forearm is attached to the 12g stub and the barrel itself screws into threads chased in the 12g chamber. The cartridge VERY easy to make. MUCH easier than making 300 BLK cases. I've loaded about 7 different loads so far ranging from 98g cast to 180g cast & 150g jacketed, using AA#5, AA#7, Trailboss, HS-7, AANitro100NF & for the 150g jacketed load I used a compressed load of AA2015 which shot VERY well. Even made me some "Factory" boxes!! Dave Manson at manson's reamers has the print on file if anyone wants to build one. A quick call to Manson will get you a reamer. As far as accuracy goes, I didn't try too hard, I just wanted to enjoy my range time today. It'll put the 150g jacketed (5 rounds) into a 1.3 inch circle with ease. I could do better with a different scope. I'm using an El Paso steel body Weaver K4 with a post reticle. A 125g flat point plain base cast bullet over 7.0g of Accurate #7 will clover leaf at 25 yards, Next time, I will scoot out further.

Try a 223 bolt action. Most blow back 9mms will recoil more than a good 223 bolt action.

Anyone having issues with the newest version of iTunes? Anyone remeber way back when Apple was easy to use? I can't understand what they were thinking. The older versions were SO user friendly. The new one has no side bar. I can't even get my phone to play more than one album by the same artist unless I make a playlist containing all the songs I want. One would think as time passes by, in would get simpler and easier to use. Ohhh nay nay!

A good case for shot placement.  He got em in there and they worked.             Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.....woman.  I applaud his willingness to do so.

Yep. But there again, if he really loves her, like i love mine, like everyone should love theirs, how COULD he do ANY less? I couldn't live without mine and I damn sure wouldn't wanna live knowing I might still have her had I done what a man should.

Then don't even look at a centerfire. Life's short, then you're dead. The span between is too precious to waste on "settling" especially for something as small as this. I would look at a CZ 455. You won't disappointed. CZ build nice rifles.

“He’s in a lot of pain,” she said. “He took three shots, including a couple to the abdomen. But magically, his organs were not affected. "He’s my hero. He saved my life,” Russell added. “I was determined to save my dream girl’s life — even if it cost my own,” he told The Post. That's the quintessential dewy eyed chick flick movie material story women dream about. Betcha a dollar his story gets a ...happy ending...when he gets outta the hospital.

I'll be the stick in the mud. First, by all means get what you want. If you don't, you will likely never be happy till you do. BUT, you'd be so far ahead if you went with a bolt action .223. The .223 is one of those cartridges that just WANTS to shoot well. Achieving .22 magnum velocity is simple and quite economical. Find you a 1/9 at least or even a 12 twist barrel and you can load up some 35g varmint bullets to whatever velocity you want, from subsonic to deep into 3k+++ Finding .223? Not an issue. Finding .22 mag? Probably, but it's questionable.

If you manage to get an apology, go buy a lottery ticket immediately.

I would like to have that caliber in an encore rifle. Handguns like that spook me.

There is a time and place for it, it just usually goes with movement. Make the other guy find a place to hide while we move to a better place. You know, kinda like this one... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RjlDRTemjzQ

Depends on the parts kit.  Not many AK parts kits were bought with illegal intentions.  Even fewer AR parts kits.     Now, number of people either ferreting the kit away or building it to an illegal machine gun for kits such as a STEN, Suomi, PPSH, etc.  are probably HIGHER than 50%.  Very simplistic designed sub guns are [I'm guessing] the greatest in frequency.     What's sad is, the people who tuck them away for SHTF are crazy if they think they'll just be able to whip it together unless they are tooled up with generator power.  Even sadder are the chumps who build them and tuck them away and hide them for SHTF and have NO clue or training for properly deploying them.  In any scenario I can think of that could ACTUALLY happen; I wouldn't trade my semiauto AR for ANY machine gun ever made.  I've shot several full auto's including some very easy to manage subguns.  They're all junk to me.   Full auto weapons need trained soldiers [<-- see that word, it's plural!] for maximum effectiveness.  For the rest of us, concentrating on hitting the target with each shot is MUCH more efficient.   I've considered many times investing in a full auto weapon of some sort.  For me, it's only fun in thought and I can get that from a youtube video.  It takes a long time to load all that ammo!  

That won't fly, where's the manual safety.  Don;t the Army demand a manual safety or did I just dream that?

Those things have got to be rough on a mag catch.  Imagine doing what a soldier has to do physically, and all that weight on the mag catch.     I think they have a good purpose, if they feed.  Like on the firing line at Knob Creek.  Now there's a good place for them!

Well, try you're best to remember not to put anything involving black powder on your head.  That'd be a good start. 

Sounds like a good lawsuit.  Where are the Nincompoops Against All Caucasian People when you need them?

I say you're right.  I've been hearing "new pistol" for how many years now?  As has been said, the rifle is where it's at.  Never been a soldier, don't know anything about being a soldier, but I'd hate to fight an enemy that is hellbent on killing me with a dang handgun.

That's what we need, more regulation.  While we're at it, lets just ban diesel fuel and matches so some dumb  :censored: don't set something on fire.  

The beretta would be good thing for future TN employees!!!!

I wish they'd go to a Barnes 70g TSX bullet for 5,56.  Imagine how GREEN they'd be, NO LEAD!!!  The 7 twist barrels would love that bullet and mister raghead would really hate it.  

    I sent them a message telling they really oughta put a direct link on the HOME page.  Front and center.  It's seems nonsensical to NOT have it right there, BAM soon as you open their webpage.  

I don't like ANY of those three,  Yuck.   BUT, at least they aren't 1911's, so they go that going for them.
