[QUOTE="DDB TX, post: 3021995, member: 64182"] Had one for many years, don't use it much any more. RRA upper I bought during a time when they "were gonna ban assault rifles" and RRA must have been running their tooling too long. Chamber looked like coarse sandpaper. I found a purpose built bolt, not one of the reamed out 5.56 ones. Got the correct heavy recoil springs and a hydraulic buffer for it. Handloaded some 450 SOCOM-designed 300 grain solid coppers. Got a load worked up. Took it to the deer lease for its maiden voyage, zeroed it, and then when the hogs showed up it went "click". Again and again, it went "click". And I went "F***", every time. And the hogs ran off. Took it apart all the way. Firing pin would poke out, but was not hitting the primer hard/deep enough. Then when I was messing with it, a tiny bit of brass fell out of the bolt. It had been scraped off a cartridge by the rough chamber, and fallen through the firing pin hole, then got jammed up against the front of the bolt by the firing pin. Just enough interference that the pin would stick out of the hole, but not enough to set off the primer. Needless to say, my friends named it "Click-F***". I polished the chamber a bit and it stopped scarring the brass. With 1000 ft-lbs more energy than a 454 Casull, it is a great short range boar buster, or even a bear gun, as the 405 grain commercial load is rated at 1600 fps. That is like 300 fps faster than the original 45-70s, and equal to Remington's "modern" 405 grain load out of a 24 inch barrel. With the heavy springs and hydro buffer it was easy to shoot. [/QUOTE]
