Conversion of cz527 22 Hornet into 30 m1 carbine. We had to modify the magazine, bolt face, feed ramp and extractor which took an extra 3.75 hours over our

usual rebarrel price.

Lots of good reasons to do this, here are a few:

* some people have left over ammunition and reloading equipment from the days when you could own an m1 carbine.

*Its a historically significant cartridge with mild recoil that lends itself very well to small game hunting and target shooting.

* Works very well with cast bullets

RELEASE DATE 17TH OCTOBER 2022

Coming Soon our new Hybrid Cleanable Suppressor, the “Hybrid” design was a pull apart suppressor that Robbie had begun creating prior to his death in 2018.  In 2022, our gunsmiths took Robbie’s vision and made it a reality.

This interesting technique of fire forming wildcat cartridge brass using

the FL die screwed into the front of an old lee Enfield, a light fire forming

charge blows the brass out and the case is ready to go, obviously

benefits are that headspace can be set at whatever you want, and

the fired case is fully sized! Case pictured is a 30 Gibbs.

Case capacity for comparison with ball powder

270 win 62gns,

6.5-06AI 67gns.

.30 Gibbs 70.5

264 Win Mag 75.5gn

My own Remington .308 lightened up before I took it down to South

Westland for the 2013 roar. Without the suppressor and scope it was

under 5lb

Some of the weights before and after are:

Reciever 420gms to 332gms

Bolt 358gms to 239gms

Barrel 1.133gms to 766

Talley rings 60gms

stock screws 17gms to 12gms

 Tikka T3 7mm-08 with a few extra lightening mods, bolt and barrel

fluted, barrel nock's turned, barrel turned down under the suppressor

and the top of the reciever milled open for weight and ease of loading

fast through the ejection port

    

      

 

                

Interesting project at the test fire stage, started life as a saiga 20 gauge

semi auto. A .577 snider barrel was found and fitted, FRANKEIN-SNIDER

is now a genuine 7 shot gas operated semi auto firing 480gn Minie balls

with FFG black powder at a bit over 1000fps,
