The barrel measures 22" by my tape, from breech to muzzle. As to the twist rate, I have no Idea. I would guess 1:12ish. I've heard the new Handi rifle in .22 hornet has a 1:9, but I'e not seen one. The industry standard is a 45 or 46 gr bullet, so I would assume a fairly sedate twist rate. It's a neat little woods loafing rifle, and a lot easier to hump up these cumberland plateau hills than my BVSS 22-250 @around 15 lb.

Dropped right there when I did my part. It's a light for caliber bullet at a leisurely pace, so you have to call the shot. It will usually exit on a broadside low behind the shoulder shot, and reach into the chest cavity (at least) on frontal shots. The HR is a single shot, with an old weaver 6X on it, so it ain't spray and pray. My uncle was up in Alaska in the late 50's, and again in the early 80's and mentioned the natives used it on pelt hunts due to the lighter damage to the skin. So there you go, it's recommended as big medicine for Alaska hunting.

I've shot coyote out to around 150 yd.with a H&R Hornet. When I was stationed in Germany it was a fairly popular round amongst the local jaegers for Roe deer.  Use the soft point vs. the hollow point, and RWS ammo if you can find it. My 2 cents.

I use a separate debit card just for paypal.

What's wrong with memphis?

Memphis is nice.

I had to look up 'rmr'. I am sooo behind the curve.

Where in Crossville?

This thread has been like driving past a car wreck. You just have to look.

Like to have one, but it'll be Sat. before I can get there and I'll bet they've flown the coop.

Memphis is nice.

I broke a firing pin in an old double (hammerless) and it wouldn't fire one barrel, but the hammer would fall, giving an audible click.  You clicking?

Only two types of snakes: If they rattle they're rattlers, and if they don't they're cobras.

THE STORY OF MY GUN………….. * Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06  right in the doorway.  I left 6 cartridges beside it, then left it alone  and went about my business.   While I was gone, the mailman delivered my  mail, the neighbor boy across the street mowed the yard, a girl walked  her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign  near the front of my house. After about an hour, I checked on the gun.  It was still sitting there,  right where I had left it.  It hadn't moved itself outside.  It  certainly hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it  had presented to do so. In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. Well you can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the  Media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.  Either the  media is wrong or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world. The United States is 3rd in Murders throughout the World.  But if you  take out just 4 cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC and New Orleans,  the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the entire world, for Murders. These 4 Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U.S.  ALL  4 of these cities are controlled by Democrats.  It would be absurd to  draw any conclusions from this data -right? Well, I'm off to check on my spoons.  I hear they're making people fat.

A cop stops a Harley for travelling faster than the posted speed limit, so he asks the biker his name. 'Fred,' he replies. 'Fred what?' the officer asks. 'Just Fred,' the man responds. The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the biker a break and, write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name. The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it. The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it. 'Tell me, Fred, how did you lose your last name?' The biker replies, 'It's a long story, so stay with me.' I was born Fred Dingaling. I know -- a funny last name. The kids used to tease me all the time, so I stayed to myself, studied hard and got good grades. When I got older, I realized that I wanted to be a doctor. I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Dingaling, MD. After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school.. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through school, got my degree, so then I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS. Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD, so now I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS, with VD. Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Fred Dingaling, MD, with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Dingaling with VD. Then the VD took away my Dingaling, so now I am Just Fred.'  

Bill and Hillary are at a Yankees home game, sitting in the first row, with the Secret Service people directly behind them.   One of the Secret Service guys leans forward and whispers something to Bill. At first, Clinton stares at the guy, looks at Hillary, looks back at the agent, and shakes his head "no". The agent then says, "Mr. President, it was a unanimous request of the entire team, from the owner of the team to the bat boy."   Bill hesitates...but begins to change his mind when the agent tells him the fans would love it! Bill shrugs his shoulders and says, "Ho-Kay! If that is what the people want. C'mere Hilly baby..." With that, Bill gets up, grabs Hillary by her collar and the seat of her pants, lifts her up, and tosses her right over the wall onto the field.   She gets up kicking, swearing, screaming, "Bill you   "!$#@&!". The crowd goes absolutely wild. Fans are jumping up & down, cheering, hooting and hollering, and high-fiving. Bill is bowing, smiling and waving to the crowd.   He leans over to the agent and says, "How about that; I would have never believed how much everyone would enjoy that!" Noticing the agent has gone totally pale, he asks what is wrong. The agent replies,   "Sir, I said they want you to throw out the first "pitch .”

Yeah, them over-fed mid-life crisis greybeards sporting the leathers with the price tags still on 'em, the born to be mild tattoos, and the Visa/MasterCard scooters can be a rough crowd. I would stay clear of the Cracker Barrel and Outback just to be safe, and try not to run over any of them. More bikers/motorcyclists get killed from cagers with cellphone fixation and a textual addiction than ever got killed in any shoot-out at a preppy wanna-be strip club. Just my take on it.

Memphis is nice.

I've got an old 2500, and +1 on Hoyes. 

I'm building a 7.62x39 upper, and thought I'd do a 5.45x39 next. Anybody have any insights into the 5.45 in an AR (besides the mag/feeding issues)?

Thanks. Now I gotta build a 7.62x39 ar.
