If my NEF .45-70 blows up, I'll [have my family] sue you, and if it doesn't, I'll ream my NEF Survivor .410/.45 colt to .460!
I fixed it for you.
I have been thinking about that Survivor...wonder if it could take a .454Casull? That isn't too much larger, but the pressure is a good bit higher IIRC, and it would still be a formidable little rifle (not to suggest that a hot .45LC is anemic, just not a .454).
Very cool. I think we'll see a marked decrease in the steel plate crime rate now that word is out...
That is my goal, to protect and perforate.
In the picture, it LOOKS to me like the .45-70 only went about halfway through the plate -no?
Then I need a better camera (or rather better photography skills), straight through, but it didn't have much left afterwards, it lodged itself in the rear of a 4in. thick board supporting the steel. I will update later with the hole sizes, but to say that the .45-70 hole is large is an understatement.
And Mav, I'll just warn you right now -do NOT get into an eye candy pissin match with dubble-a.
Tell me about it...he lures me in with the Browning, then beats me to a bloody pulp with those Coopers...then beats everyone in the rimfire match with the same beautiful rifle (well one of em' anyway).
Did Kurt's Kustom do your M17 work before he died? He did very nice work, may he RIP...
Nope I did a good portion of the work myself (he was the inspiration) and had a gunsmith mill the slots in the side, right after he passed away. He did good work and improved upon the design a great deal.
Here is a link to my improvements to the M17...you have one too don't-cha'?
and yeah, I also want all the details of the bullpup turnbolt with scope, plz.
The bullpup is a DT-SRS .300WM (26in. Krieger bbl) with a Premier Reticles Heritage 5-25x56mm scope, mounts are DT 40MOA tapered 1-pc. That's about it...oh yeah and it can easily do a 0.5MOA cold bore every single time (if I do my part). I love that little detail.
