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

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,

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
Gunworks Duralite suppressor with all alu internals and micro isolator

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,
