I'll keep making them because its easier to do that than keep them on the phone. I'll try to make another one with my 6mm Mongoose AR. _________________________ ”Self defense is a primary law of nature, which no subsequent law of society can abolish; the immediate gift of the Creator, obliges everyone to resist the first approaches of tyranny.” ~Elbridge Gerry

AdamT Die Hard Member III Registered: 01/04/15 Posts: 3167 Loc: Southwest Virginia, USA	Cool video. Shooting those prairie dogs on an active town has to be a blast. What kind of accuracy are you getting from that barrel? Seems to be a good one. I’ve always considered doing either a 17 fireball or 17 Remington AR upper and this may push me on down the road. Thanks for sharing. _________________________ Rich man rolls the dice, Poor man pays the price!

Thanks for sharing. I'm using 18.9gr of H322 and I think that speed is actually between 3800-3900. I think in the video I said 4000. I could push it but I'm getting 3/4-1/2" groups. I know everyone on here claims that but this is legit. Their brand new barrel are $180....how can you go wrong. _________________________ ”Self defense is a primary law of nature, which no subsequent law of society can abolish; the immediate gift of the Creator, obliges everyone to resist the first approaches of tyranny.” ~Elbridge Gerry

I built one on a Savage 12 action and had to make it a single shot because it would not feed the short round from the internal mag. _________________________ 2015 Egg Shoot Champion Egg Shoot Champion of Champions 2016 2017 2018 2019

However about every 6th or 7th round I take the mag out and slap it to Seat the cartridges all the way back or it will have clambering issues. I have a buddy who's working on a 3D printer design that I think if he comes up with a good design he could make a little money off of it. _________________________ ”Self defense is a primary law of nature, which no subsequent law of society can abolish; the immediate gift of the Creator, obliges everyone to resist the first approaches of tyranny.” ~Elbridge Gerry
