Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Conversion Kits for Other Calibers
Posted: 11/7/2003 5:48:55 AM EDT
Hi all,

I have been wondering what other "conversion kit" calibers there are out there besides .22LR.   Specifically, I'd like to shoot 22 WMR (a.k.a. 22 Magnum).  22 Hornet or 218 Bee would be kinda neat too.  Is anyone manufacturing anything like this?

The second part of my question relates to other larger chamberings.  Specifically, I would like to see about getting my Colt HBAR switched over to .223 WSSM, which I imagine means a new barrel chambered for this cartridge and a new bolt.  Does anyone know if any smiths are doing this?

Thanks!

Olympic Arms is selling or will be selling a complete upper for the 223 WSSM round. http://www.olyarms.com

As far as other rimfire conversions, there have been people looking at the 17 HMR which has become quite a hot selling round.  

As far as centerfire conversions, there are tons of them currently out or coming out.  I will name but a few of them

22 Hornet or 218 Bee may be tough to get to feed out of the magazine.

I have done 17 Mach IV, which is a 221 fireball case necked to 17 caliber.
