| If a company offered a sub-caliber kit, let's say 22lr or 9mm, for your bolt action rifle...a barrel insert and boltface sort of setup...would you be interested in buying one? |

No, but it's a good idea... After I get through making a run of Ducati crankshaft turning tools I think I'll make one. THANKS! 
now the evil Q: what caliber... (thinkin' 7.62x39) |
MAKE TWO! 
I also wondered about a chamber insert that would allow use of something like a 50 Beuwolf, 500 S&W, or 50AE. The reason I've been pondering all this is because the majority of ranges around me prohibit the evil 50BMG. I'd love to show up with my big, sexy Armalite and throw some bullets down range with the 30-30 boys. |

I also wondered about a chamber insert that would allow use of something like a 50 Beuwolf, 500 S&W, or 50AE. These all use a .500 bullet not .510 so I would think a sloppy fitting bullet in a .510 rifle bore could cause problems. That's why I was thinking 7.62X39, and I know where to get chambered SKS barrels... If I turned the barrel down and pressed a thin brass or aluminum bushing with a rubber o-ring at the muzzle and a bushing to fit the chamber end it would protect the 50BMG parts... and would slip right into the AR-50 barrel. Would have to work out something for extraction (I wouldn't want to build a whole new bolt for an AR-50 and the 50BMG extractor wouldn't work) and I wonder what the firing pin protrusion would do to a X39 primer... it may be too much and could pop it. But I've thought about it. |
