Re: .224 Harvey Kaychuck pistol

It sounds like you had him build a hybrid gun using an S&W Model 15 frame and a K22 cylinder and barrel. This combination would likely result in a revolver that can fire both .38 special and .22 LR ammunition. Cameron: A bit confused here. Explain to us how this revolver could fire both .38Spl ...

Re: Naming Contest

Cool Tarrin, here's some offerings for consideration: * The 20 Caliber Page * The 20 Caliber World * 20 Caliber Central * Small Caliber World * The Small Caliber Den * The 20 Caliber Den I'm sure others will have other viable suggestions to add to the list. So come on you guys, empty that head and s...

Re: New Forum Title?

Rick I would love to see any pictures you wanted to share. I have known 2 marines who fought in WW2. One was on Iwo Jima and the other was in Guadalcanal. My Uncle was also in the USMC. He volanterred in 1970. I got to hear a lot of his stories. Any way I have respect for all Service men and women ...

Re: Future of the forum

How about "Small Caliber Central"? Not particular to any specific caliber. That would work, Skipper, as it would include everything from .17 to .22 caliber. Maybe we need a poll to choose a name, fire it off to Tarrin for consideration and see what happens. (A while back, Brad Schwartz of...

Re: New Forum Title?

I was 40........once.
Back then I was just as "gunny" as now, just more zip then.
My first varmints fell to my .22LR old Mossberg back around 1968, now they fly from my 204's. :wink:

Re: Future of the forum

I just spent ten minutes typing five paragraphs in response, and when I hit "send", it said the site was not available and all my work went "puff". So instead of retyping all of what I tried to post, my primary takeaways: * If ALL .20 caliber variants were to be included, more sh...

Re: Christmas 2022

It was 3*F here yesterday morning, now the warm front is upon us and we have temps that are quickly melting all the snow and ice that accumulated over the past few weeks. That's good news, won't have to leave cabinet sink doors open at night to prevent freezing pipes, and no more snow to shovel off ...

Re: New Forum Title?

I love my .221 Fireball. Its an important part of my varmint arsenal. Spot-on there, TK! I love my 204's and 20VT, but my Furballs have a place in my battery too. Great bullet selection, very accurate, less powder = less expensive to shoot, mild in every way except for the terminal performance. Ins...

Re: COLD AF TODAY

Yup, it's not even "winter" yet, but it's been in that temp range here for over a week now. Right now it's 14* here and will be around ZERO later next week. Hard to enjoy a range trip when you can't load a magazine 'cause your hands are numb, let alone being able to actually feel that trig...

Re: Problem fox!

NICE! Great post there, FW! Excellent story with great graphics and photos. That's a wicked 204 you've got there, looks every bit up to the task. Nice robust and healthy fox too. He/she must have a good diet of those exotic chickens, so I'm guessing the farmer will want to have you back again. Than...

Re: New gun today.

Most factory 204 Rugers have an excessively long jump to the lands built in. The further out you load your bullets the less and less bullet you will have in the case providing tension. It might help to check for runout and focus on load consistency. Spot-on. And take notice of Skipper's last senten...

Re: New gun today.

"Just another black rifle".....but it appears it wants to shoot. If it were me, I'd now work with seating depth to see if it can be tweaked a bit more, as it's under a half inch now. Is it bedded?

Looks like that rifle has potential. Keep us posted.

Re: New gun today.

UPDATE- 1 year later and I still like the gun. It took a lot of testing but I found a load and am sighting in a 3x9 VX2 I had extra. I got a .406 group with 50 gr NBT and H322 But no pics of the finished rifle or the .406" group target? Try to remember that most here are "visually oriente...
