Thought I posted this here, but I guess not. It oughtta make a few folks cringe:flipoff2:

Grabbed a t3 lite 223 a while back. Its probly going to end up as a beater truck gun.

I like shorter barrels, so I cut it at about 18". Cut it at a bit of an angle, cuz if it still shot good. It would break my brothers mind, cut the crown with a die grinder:laughing:

223 on a long action and you still cant run anything long. So AICS, and then opened those up. Can now jam a 75eld into the lands with room to spare:smokin:

CNC router for the bottom metal:flipoff2:

Bought the mountain tactikool bottom metal because that is what was available. I fucked up doing that. The mag release hangs way down below a 5 round mag. Now that I own the thing, I see ctr bottom metal everywhere for aics mag's with a decent mag release:homer: oh well, I'll hack this one up first an then maybe replace it down the road a bit

6x swfa that I had handy.

Tossed 26gr of lever into some very used and very mixed brass. Using 75gr eld seconds. Its shooting just over an inch right now. Need to bed it, and then load some actual decent rounds for it.

sounds like that barrel needs a deeper throat
give you enough case capacity for 27gr :flipoff2:

maybe not, h380 is a really round ball where the lever is a flatter ball, so the flat ball might not pack in there as good as the spherical ball
 
What ever velocity I get will be plenty. I'm going to guess it's going to land around the 2800fps give or take a few
