Here's to pussy and gunpowder. One to live for, the other to die by.....Goddamn though, I do love the smell of 'em both !!!
there are ways to lock shut the bolt on an autoloading arm, and .22's are easiest. if you'll just fire 2-3 rds of 223 thru the can, for every 200 or so 22'lrs, you'll never have a problem with lead or wax buildup in the can or the gas system, cause the 223 blast and heat will scour it out,. Any decent can design should have a setscrew thru the threads, which pushes a plastic bb against the male threads, locking the can onto the gun, and $1200 is a ridiculous amount of money for something as simple as a can. Once the machinery is set up, they can make a dozen such cans a day. Why pay someone $1200 an hour for something that is THAT simple to make yourself ? that would buy a used Tig welder and used little chinese lathe to make the can's with, with money left over for the tax stamp and a lot of reloading components.
Look, guys, you don't need to PRACTICE with the can mounted. practice with the 22 unit and no can, it will be no noiser than the 223 with the can (due to sonic crack) With the can in place, 223 is jusst as "tame" as the .22 unit without the can, so you save wear on the bore and 223 parts,. and also save 40c a shot, and can fire indoors, where you can't do so with 223. do your snap shooting practice, to 75m or so, with the 22, and reserve the 223 for longer range stuff, and you won't need much of the latter, at all, actually for realistic combat practice.
