Multi-multi-purpose conversions
As noted, my Kimber conversion ate everything I fed it --- when warm. Cold, it likes high velocity, no surprise there. But it did use stuff that no one thought it could.
Mine was a Christmas present, and I had an ulterior motive.
This is NY, land of the bass-ackwards feel-good lobotomized law. My fiancee has agreed to get her pistol permit (yeah, you read that right --- we need permits), and I've been trying to figure out how to do this properly without adding even more guns and paperwork on itemized licenses.
Presto! We both get a .22, she gets a .22 "learner," and it can sit on the SA GI stainless I'll license over to her. Problem solved.
Note:
Fascinating, how the wizards can figure out a COBIS system that does almost nothing, and have it also apply to guns that: a) won't even use their supplied barrels; and b) will be legally used with actions with totally different barrels/chambers and firing pins. Kinda like licensing a Toyota, making a big deal out of it, but you can put a Buick engine in it, re-body it as a Lexus, have none of it listed on the registration --- and still can't drive it out of state.
If you get on a plane and the pilot's carrying a red-tipped white cane, it's probably NYAIR.
