That's a nice looking rifle, the fact that it shoots 5.7 makes it even better

Thanks, it continues to impress me evertime I shoot it. Found a good load and can't seem to crank them out fast enough to cover a shooting session.

60 yard groups with can. same poa/poi as uncanned. wish I could post a video for everyone to see it cycle.

New paint and testing groups with a can. [img2=][/img2]

The monster, one of the best shooting guns I own possibly. I can shoot this thing all day![img2=][/img2]

Has anyone swapped their SCAR 16 barrel for a 300BO one? Was looking to change over but wanted to know if anyone else has messed with that. I would ideally like to go with a 10.5-11 inch barrel but hesitant to drop a grand on a barrel setup.

Nice. What do you think the interest level would be for a mag insert that would let folks be able to have a repeater Rem700 action built 5.7? Just gauging interest before I jump off a cliff with this thing. I know a million different factors come into play but just out of curiosity for me really. I...

No damn clue. But if you think you hear .223 is better than the 5.7 it will only get louder. I just read a review of a Howa bolt action, but it was a short action. Howa, its a Mauser action, has a 1500 series short action rifle. It comes in .223 which could be re chambered, they also have detachabl...

^ The M97 used by the military was a commercial produced version that got modified for military use by the Ordnance Corp. As far as I know there were no military contracts out for them like the Garands, Carbines and 1911s. Would be cool to own a shotgun made by IBM or RockOla for sure though!

Well this one does and doesn't fit the category. I meant to put a pic up this weekend but did not get around to it. This light is a Streamlight TLR/VIR and is currently mounted to a 10.5 inch 300BO.[img2=][/img2]

Just curious if I can still call it a flashlight even if all the kids on the playground can't see it when I turn it on?[img2=][/img2]

Very nice. Will is slam fire?

Slamfire it will, all the 1897 shotguns are able to do this. Rumor on the street is the new repro Norinco will do it as well.

^ thanks Buffman, like that SBS you built as well, the color scheme looks good.

Just figured I would share this build I am currently working on. It started life as a Winchester 97 (production date 1907) and was reincarnated as a M97 Trenchgun replica. Cut the barrel to 20 inches, added heat shield with bayo lug, new furniture and refinished the gun/wood. All I need to finish is...

^ I bought it on GB from a guy for 460

A few days behind the power curve but have one of these and mounted it to my G17 for home defense. Neat little piece but didn't suit what I needed so it is currently a dust collector in the safe.

So I think the magic weight for the bolt gun is 40 grain (used factory AE and had good results). Granted I only got 65 yards to plink with on the range it still holds a pretty good group. I averaged 2095 FPS with factory loads. Got some pull down 40 grainers coming from EA so may be able to load up ...

I have done some research where guys get fairly accurate results from 55 grain bullets in a 1:14 barrel, I may have to play with some and see what they do in my gun. I have to make some stuff up as I go along with what I read here since most everyone here has a 1:9 twist barrel and some guys probabl...

^ Think 62 grain is to heavy to load up in this case?

Guess I should pay more attention to the subject line when I reply! What is the minimum FPS you think it what I was wanting to ask. I am still fairly new to this round as a whole, I have done tons of reading on it and minimal reloading so far but that will change. I had the pistol many moons ago and...

What do you think the magic FPS is to get the desired outcome? I am running factory AE 40g FMJ right at 2100Fps.

Because subsonic 55gr FMJ 5.56/5.7 will penetrate level IIIA, .22 LR won't

Guess I need to get some of this to shoot through the bolt gun against some soft armor I have laying around the house to see

Well if I had to pin a number to it lets see if I can add it up. I am just a simple Arkansas man so will take my shoes off real quick. Donor gun= 280 Bolt= 250 Barrel= 470 Trigger= 125 Magazine(yeah you read correct, it is not a bobsled gun, it actually holds ammo and feeds them =-0) Trade for an T...

How does the difference in case capacity affect pressure?

Yep with 1x brass it is. The 35gr VG has a long shank for weight, meaning more bullet in contact with rifling, so you can't push it as fast as a same wight or even slightly heavier bullet with less shank. fantastic, guess it is time to start playing with other bullets then. I wanted some 55g sub so...

I think I have pretty descent FPS with 36g Barnes Varmint Grenades and 5.5 grains of AutoComp. Last batch was 2320 out of a 16 inch barreled bolt action. Does that seem on par with what others are getting from that barrel length or should I be getting faster? 1x fired FN Brass CCI 400 small rifle pr...

Thanks, hope to get it dialed in really tight soon. Will keep updates coming in as well with handloads, I should be able to get pretty fast.

Maybe these will work

So update on the 27 grain bullet problem. Turns out it might have been a range problem(my range looks like a jungle at the moment), there were a few blades of tall grass in front of my target and I believe the bullet was hitting those and starting to tumble. I could be wrong but a fast moving small ...

5.7 uses the same bullets as .223. So ANY .223/5.56 rifled barrel will work for it. Keyholing is normally an issue with too heavy a bullet and a long twist like 1:14. NOT the other way around. Who the hell thought 1:14 was a good twist rate for a .223 round that likes lighter bullets? What are the ...

Hopefully this topic isn't completely forgotten about. Just curious if anyone here that has a bolt action 5.7 has had any issues with the 27 grain factory fn ammo? My 1:14 Shilleen barrel doesn't seem to like it, it keyholes every round.
