![]() In anything longer than a pistol sized magazine, it would be longer than a normal rifle magazine, er. I thought about removable magazine tubes once, in regards the metal storm system "which had them for the pistol version, I believe" in regards capacity i.e. Hi! he he! The Spencer rifle had a removable tube magazine, it had a wooden tubular magazine holder. ![]() There must be a reason none have hit the market. (I may be misinformed.) It seems like a good idea. I see no reason why it wouldn't work, but there must be one. A removable horizontal bullet tube to swap out. 22 rimfire.Īs far as a removable tube mag, that'd be just as it sounds. Rimless cartridges would work better, but those can't be different lengths as they headspace from the case mouth, not from the rim as in. It's due to the way the "feed lips" are in a typical mag. A semi auto stick mag gun like that could possibly fire multiple ammo types, provided it headspaces from the case rim and not the case mouth.Īs such, rounds of differing length are going to freak out in a stick mag. A gun of this design will cycle empty casings from a mag by racking the action. It's a rare beast that shoots the cartridges in a straight line into the chamber. Super-high-speed cameras pointed at the cycling action show the rounds wobbling and bouncing up and down as they wander into the chamber on a semi-auto. The rounds don't go "straight into the chamber" from a mag. Trying the same thing in a stick-mag semi-auto is not going to work. As a youngster, it impressed me how it was never cleaned, yet ate all ammo without complaint. It works with stuff like CCI Stingers as well. It cycles shorts, longs, and long rifles. Never heard a bad word about the Nylon rifles.Īnyway, as far as cycling the action. It's planning, tactics, and strategy that gets you through that, not a round count. you probably weren't going to make it anyway. Realistically in a TEOTWAWKI situation, if you needed 10,000 rounds to survive. If it's a rifle, I consider 1000 rounds for just that one gun a bit of overkill. 380 is that you can turn around and use the same stuff to load 9mm. I leveraged that and acquired all of my loading gear for free or at fair market cost (non-gouging prices, some was gratis.) The nice thing about loading. I acquired bullet molds and reloading dies. It came back and I quietly hit 1000 rounds and called it a day. I had a good stock before that and weathered the storm. Rimfire normally got a x10 multiplier, but things get wild you know. Realistically, I do not like to fall below 500 rounds per primary caliber that I've decided to stock. So, I have no idea, but I'm not really interested in selling, so it doesn't matter. The value I've seen is all over the board, from a couple hundred to maybe a thousand. I definitely believe it's shootable-which is good, because I want to shoot it. I checked the bore and was surprised how nice and clean it was. ![]() The finish is not excellent, but it's not bad for a 100-year-old gun. I seems to be in shooting condition as well. The patent dates on the barrel read 1890, 1892, 1906, and 1911, but the serial number supposedly dates it to 1906, so something is wrong with that. I also got a bag with 1050 rounds of Winchester WRF rounds. A distracting flaw, for sure, but not a huge one. It also has some guy's name etched on the the right side of the receiver and his initials on the other side. It's not in excellent condition, but the bore is nice. 30 Carbine (VERY TEMPTING!) and the one I got: a Winchester Model 1890 in. I got the choice of a Ruger Mark ? (sorry, didn't check), a Ruger Blackhawk in. He doesn't really want to keep them all, so he offered one to me. His will said he wanted his guns divided amongst his brothers and sisters, so my wife's father got a few. My wife's uncle died a few months ago and he had quite a gun collection. Got a new gun today! And this one was FREE!
