Black Powder AR?

I don't know if any of you have seen this yet...

Hey, wouldn't that be Cali legal?

I smell a marketing idea.

[musicman]

that's awesome!! Nifty idea using the primer in an empty case for ignition.

[Guest sling]

Holy crap...

I'm not a fan of muzzleloaders but i'd pick that up in a heartbeat. Fun times at the range when the poor shmuck next to you is trying to sight in his .22 rimfire.

[Guest c_o_jones]

It's the post-Obama assault rifle, coming out next year...

Just kidding, CMMG makes these uppers.

[Mike.357]

seems like an awful lot of effort. I mean it looks like a kick for laughs and all but kind of stupid really. Some guns are designed for the holy black and others are designed to terrify some liberals. The two should not be mixed.

[Guest The Cat]

I swear I'd love to see the look on some Fudd's face if we were to start using those in Muzzleloader season!

If you happen to be a Pennsylvania resident...this would be a great way to annoy their game wardens.

[Guest airbornefox]

LMAO That is sweet! Were can you get one of those?

Just go get Joe's SBR, while he's gone, and have at it... I'm sure he won't mind.

[ShaunM]

Thats pretty cool.

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

OK, I wanna know what he's seating the pellets against. Spent case in the chamber maybe?

[Guest Verbal Kint]

He's using a primed, empty, case for ignition... if that's what you're asking.

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

Actually, I think I just figured it out. I was thinking that without a cartridge in the chamber, when he loaded the pellets and bullets, they'd seat against the bolt face, which would then preclude loading the blank to ignite the thing. But it just occurred to me that the bore size is undoubtedly larger than the chamber, so that's what the charge seats against.

Clearly, I didn't think this through.

Yeah, and the next time you see me my butt will be mounted on the wall!

Tony Rumore, the mad scientist-Saiga guy behind Tromix,http://www.tromix.com, built up a nice one. Check out his "Projects" page. Of course, Tony also builds things like.32ACP ARs and T/C Encores in .458 SOCOM...

Actually I've been toying with the concept of integrally suppressing a muzzleloader.... it's not a firearm, thus shouldn't legally be a "silencer", and therefore shouldn't be subject to NFA controls. Needless to say, the engineering problems would be challenging, and the utility somewhat questionable, but that's never stopped us before.

ok, I never REALLY understood why they called 'em "mad scientists" until now.

Nice way to tweak my perception of things!
