The girls VCR is out too. One of those DVD combo units from 30yr ago. Can't watch the old school Disney films Kate had. (She has a ton of the old white box films)

@gmcttr or @T-DOGG could one of you fine chaps drop me a pic of the bottom of your protektor bag? Curiouser if it will attach without the clamp. Their website isn't very helpful.

A bag for your new front rest?

Photos were texted to RR.

A bag for your new front rest?

Yes. The Allen bag is cheaply made. If any $ gets spent it'll be on that

Get you a fancy new (sort of) one with one of those disc things in it...

How is the recovery going?

I'm recovering. Still have blood draining but not to bad. I don't get the stents out till Tuesday. Very irritating.

You know you're getting old when the new tech you once bought is now high priced vintage tech. I should have been informed of this development before I threw them away a few years ago.

Heard back from Howa about using 5.56 in the .223 mini action.


The 5.56 NATO and the .223 are NOT the same. Always use the exact ammunition that is stamped on your firearm, and the Howa rifles are only stamped for 223 Remington. Do not use 5.56 NATO in your Howa. The 5.56 bullet is set deeper in the throat than the .223, the 5.56 NATO cartridge has steeper shoulders than the .223, and the 5.56 NATO was designed to cycle automatic rifles with hotter powder and primers. The net result is that if you run 5.56 NATO in your Howa .223, you will erode the throat of your chamber very quickly and destroy your rifles accuracy. This will not be covered as a warrantable issue, and your warranty from the factory will be void. Thank you.

Certainly no mincing of words from Howa.

I guess that settles that. At least they don't beat around the bush.

Straight from the horse's mouth. However, if you have a CZ 527 in .223, have at it.

Owning a CZ 527 in .223, I'm curious about this. I know CZ says 5.56 is OK, but if the dimensional differences in the 2 cartridges has this effect on the Howa barrels, then why wouldn't it on the CZ? I understand free-bore-to-rifling can be cut different, but the chamber has to fit one or the other, no?

Or does it? I havn't shot much, if any 5.56 out of mine.

Or my Ruger Ranch that's chambered for both cartridges, and will accept an AR15 magazine.

I just held a CZ 527 in .223 on Monday - they wanted something like $650 ish for it I think

Hec-of a nice gun let me tell ya...

 

[RustyHornet]

I wonder if my glock will shoot 5.56?

That is why the AR's that shoot both (*Wylde barrels*) say "Multi" on the side.

That was the other rifle I considered.
