    rupert liked post by SixtyTen On thread : 3D Printing
    I have printed mags for 22s. Its tricky to get them reliable and the springs can be hard to make, but it is possible. Average magazine takes me about 5 or 6 prototypes to get a design that works. ...

    rupert liked post by JohnDuxbury On thread : .275 Rigby is a fantasy cartridge
