    +P chamber throats

    Is that similar to the .223 Wylde chamber?

    One Rifle For Everything

    Side note to this concept, the topic of expense is kind of important. For the money it would cost to build a do-everything tool, I could buy some other rifles for less money. Example: I would like an all-weather all-purpose hunting rifle and a big bore rifle. I could buy barrels for a DTA...

    One Rifle For Everything

    True. Although...part of me wants a solid core arsenal of high utility firearms, and then a random assortment of esoteric oddities and cross training samples.

    For those who want Real Firepower

    Is firepower the correct term to use for a device which does not rely on combustion? :unsure:

    One Rifle For Everything

    I could do it, but it would be expensive and I might have a slightly different way of evaluating/prioritizing things.

    Buddy just snagged these... what can you guys tell me about them?

    I've read before (I can't remember where and it wasn't specifically about the Marines) that Model 70s were available for military personal to check out to use for hunting on base. Can you shed some light on that? If it's true, I wonder if they used the old ones because they didn't feel like...

    I think about this from time to time. I have seen references and documents that suggest that speed limits are set "to what a reasonable person would consider safe". I find that idea odd given how many people seem to ignore speed limits. (Yes, I know some of you are going to say revenue but...

    How far is your commute and what temperatures do you expect to see? I'd personally buy a gasser but I don't know what your needs are.

    Oops...

    One final question, what time frame were the barrels offered? Pre-WW2 I'm guessing? On a side note, out of the three I rifles I bid on, I somewhat wish I'd won one of the other two. On one hand, this rifle is going to be a safe queen but I'm not sure I'd be willing to part with it now because...

    The 28th ammendment.

    That would be a moral and logical choice but it would require power hungry people to relinquish power and intolerant people to act tolerant...

    The 28th ammendment.

    My theory is that that kind of societal breakdown would result in the powers that be calling on foreign military power (china) to enforce order.

    Better be careful shooting someone with that. If they find out, they might get mad about it. Here's what you need. Ian lays it out for ya' in the first few seconds.

    I appreciate you inquiring on my behalf and it's interesting to hear that there are more barrels out there. Could you tell me how and when the barrels were available? How would a builder back then have aquired a barrel and done the finish work?

    I'm curious but not certain how to accurately phrase this question. What's the ratio of military vets to non-military when it comes to professional helicopter pilots outside of the military?

    What kind of shooting do you want to do? How much do you care about historical accuracy? Do you plan to sell it at some point?
