Recently I saw a video of something pretty rare: a working, firing Pedersen device. It was footage from only a few years ago, too. I have a second-hand Pedersen anecdote, which I’ll post if people would like to read it, but right now I’ve got something else to say.
It’s time for a couple of you clever gobblers with a machine-shop in your back pocket to engineer a .22 long rifle semi-auto device to fit into a .223 bolt action rifle. Mind now, I said bolt action, not an AR15. A bolt-gunner is apt to be a saving sort when it comes to ammo, and I think that a .22 lr option would suit him just fine.
Here’s another “mind now”: This would have to be a 100% drop-in device; I’ll be damned if I’ll allow any bubba-work on my expensive CZ 527 or anything similar. Given the small cartridge, it ought to be possible to make such a device within the dimensions of the existing rifle bolt. Feed would be from the bottom; we’ll have no crazy-angled Pedersen mag sticking out in the air. I mentioned the CZ 527, because I think the removable mag would simplify the problem of fitting the device’s mag using, probably, an adaptor in the existing mag well. A proprietary ten-round .22 lr magazine might be included in the package, but if the device could also feed from a 30- or 50-round banana mag, then all is well.
That’s Model One. When it’s on the market and selling nicely, you can bring out Model Two, chambered for .22 WMR. Might take a little more engineering, but I’ll bet it would go down like ham at Sunday breakfast.
