its a neat concept but a .223 would do the job of all 3 without faffing around LOL.

Lol, it would but it doesn't fit in the fox magazine. In all likelihood it will stay with the whisper barrel on it till I get bored then it will be sold off as a 222 and I'll keep the other 2 barrels

my older brother had one in .222 it actually passed through the hands of our very own "short term gun guru"....you know the fine dairy farming fella I mean LOL.
it was a lovely rifle and shot tiny wee groups with just about any load he cared to feed it.I shot a good eating pig ,numerous goats n rabbits with it...lovely rifle and the set trigger was a real eye opener to me....I believe its still "within the forum family" now.

Found some info.

Began cutting down magazine for 3rounds and had a breakage. Getting a new front half folded up as not enough material left to tig back together.

Have been playing with some 170 gr Lee fn cast bullets with Hitek coating on them. 9.5 gr 4227

bugga...Ive on sold my x39mm and have heaps of 4227 and nothing I can use it in anymore....
is that rocking horse pooh holes I see??? taipan are awesome projectiles but havent seen any forsale for years... they sure expand well.

Yes 140 gr 6.5 Taipans, scored them in a swap for some 7mm projectiles I had lying around. Only have 85 of them.

dont waste them on paper if you have load sorted....you wont find better projectiles for game...

That was the first group with them. That'll do for what I'm doing with them.

Attachment 144212Original 222 barrel spun in
Attachment 144213And now I've hit a problem the ribs inside the magazine will not allow more than 1 round in the mag as it the projectile contacts the side of the magazine.
Attachment 144214 I will find another magazine and will cut out the centre of the rib and trim the length down so it will become a 3 round magazine.

Mate, you guys can do what you want to those modern fangled rapid fire repeater rifles

Try and modify the magazine in one of my single shot rifles and it would be a different story
