hello all.
a while back my brother bought couple cans of loose 7.62 tokarev with the sole intention of buying a contender barrel and having an incredibly cheap to shoot rifle. well after buying said ammo, he found out that a contender barrel would cost around $800 and the price of tokarev tripled while the supply dwindled to nothing over the course of 6 months. with his dreams of a super cheap(non rimfire) plinker gun ruined his ammo has just sat in his safe. I have come across this and was just wondering if anyone had ever used one? basically it operates on the same principle as a "popgun" where you place a larger shell around an existing case to allow it to fit in a larger chamber. I've never seen one for cased ammunition but I have seen one for 45-70 where you drill the primer out of an empty casing and place a 22lr blank and then hand load a 45 cal round ball into the casing and fire. it sounds like shooting a cap gun but it demolishes squirrels.
just curious if anyone has used these and if they are particularly prone to failures?
it's available for both 303 brit and 7.62x54r
