I like the .221 fireball personally. Saw a remington charger chambered for them last summer at a pawn shop. Pretty cool, especially since it made me learn about a cartridge I was previously unaware of.
What is a Remington Charger?
All I can find is the doodad that you use to juice up your Remington 'lectric Razor.
I have always had crazy ideas jump into my head and wont go away till i do something, so hear it is.
A Revolver thats shoots....... wait for it.........
7.62x54r.
i figure a judge 3 inch cylinder would be the starting point, a 30 caliber barrel, 2-3 inch will be fine, remember mentally ustable.
and a really brave/stupid person to try it first, i vote me.
thoughts?
Not a revolver, but I bet you could get a barrel built for an Encore to shoot that round, they already have 30-06 pistol barrels for it.
You could make one of these probably for less than having a revolver custom made. I can't remember if it's considered SBR or AOW if you get a virgin receiver and build up or take the rifle and chop down or both. I think it would be pretty awesome either way.
Now thats the kind of answers i was looking for, not say it would be hard, or impossible, but ideas how to make it happen. I have one mosin just need 4 more and i start cutting.Could get 4 or 5 Mosins, cut the barrels down to the chamber plus a smidge, weld them into a circular form with indexing & all, there's your cylinder. Chambers rated for the cartridge. Make up a fixture for that and you could set them up precisely. Piece of one of the barrels for the pistol, put it all in a frame. Might want to use an existing revolver for the backside, reinforced as needed. I'd consider setting it up with the barrel off the bottom of the cylinder like a Rhino, just because of the sledgehammer recoil. You got me thinkin, man, stop it.
For me its not always about bigger. I like 7.62x54r because it is powerful and cheap as dirt. once a revolver is made, then i will move up to bigger and louder.Only 7.62X54r? Don't be such a wimp. You can dream bigger than that can't you?
Fake...... that photo has so much photoshop blur it's pathetic.
