234 Wildcat Family....ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

That was a cutting oil problem 'Looky and we have that all under control now, have several gallons of different oils, 1 heavy duty cutting for high friction, 1 heavy duty stainless steel specific and 1 Sulflow, high sulpher cutting oil, which I just found again, and have cut 100 chambers with without grief. So I should be good now............need to bounce up to my friend/mentors place, for a few days, after Xmas and make another 1/2 doz barrels............ I am also going to work on making an oil delivery system for pumping oil through the barrel from the muzzle when chambering. This will ensure enough oil to the reamer when cutting, reduce heat build up and help to clear chips. I have it all figured out on how to do it, just have to build the different components and get a low pressure oil pump and sump.
I will only need 10-20 lbs pressure so it won't be too difficult to attach it and o-ring it to the muzzle, anyway like I said I have it all envisioned in my head, all I have to do now is get off my a$$ and build it.
 
Okay so next build will be a Lynx I think, and I will do it on the same Marlin action. This action is not well suited to the Douglas as it will not allow the use of the magazine as the COAL is too long, however I do believe it will work just fine for the 250 case. This will leave just one barrel left and I will have to save that for a Penguin after Xmas. I happen to have a long Ruger action (another 270 bites the dust) thanks to Doug and it is earmarked for a Penguin. I also have a long 700 action only, and a couple short 700s and a Mod 7 for the Pipsqueak..............HHHMMMMMMM...........need more barrels.................
 
Looking forward to the Lynx coming together Douglas I keep coming back to that one in my day dreams. And experience tells me where that usually ends up :rolleyes: That'll have to be down the road though due to another rifle on order and a sharp pain in my wallet after a quick visit to the jeweler yesterday :confused:

Did you get one of those Prince Albert rings at the jeweler, Salty? :runaway:

I did not actually know what they were until one of the <<<ahem>>> MODS on here remarked that he had one, as well as an ampallang, and he turned himself into a sprinkler system..............
 
So just thought I would throw this out there for return fire...errrr...input.

I am thinking of a .234 barrel for building a Lynx but I am considering building a light, short rifle for easy carrying. So perhaps an 18 - 20 inch barrel.

Anyone forsee any issues or problems with this barrel length?

What the hell? That's where I was going too a carbine-ish Lynx in stainless for sneaking around the jungle here looking for those pesky blacktail. Worse problem I'd say is 40 or 50 ft/s per inch less velocity from the unknown at this point 24" numbers. How could a guy go wrong?
 
I think on the 250 Sav case this would not be an unrealistic venture at all. This cartridge should still be quite efficient and should not be too greatly affected by shortening the barrel. It would be more efficient than a 243 and I have owned and do own several in the 18-20" barrel configuration. I had an old Ruger 77 RSI that I loved to death, literally, somewhere around 10,000 rounds. If it lost much with the 18" barrel it was unseen my me, and it killed an astronomical number of critters including one of the biggest black bears I've ever shot.
I think a sweet little full stock carbine with a 19" barrel, short action and run 80-100 gn bullets would be an amazing all around light game/predator knocker right out to 400+ mtrs
 
I dunno...I "get" stainless and cannot offer an intellectual argument against the stuff, but I guess I am just getting to be an old Fudd. I'll take mine in blued and wood please.

Although I recently added another Browning to my collection and the Dura Touch stock is real nice, especially for its intended purpose.

At this point I will be going with an early 90's vintage Savage 110 for the action, add a 19 inch barrel and will look into doing something in regards to the stock. Just not sure what yet??

And I guess I will just have to be content with no drop mag. First world problem....

If I lived east of the Coast mountains I'd probably go wood and blue too. But that not the case and literally hunting in and around salt water quite often I'll go stainless. Or maybe if the deal is right for a donor spring for a good cerekote job.. that's an option too.

Yeah I like this 23-250 carbine 'more I think about it. I'd be a great quad/truck gun for tending the cattle, a supurb starter rifle for a young fella ready to try his first deer hunting, the list goes on. Again I think it'd be a great north island rig too the only predator that really concern myself about a bit is cougars, a fellow down the road will attest to that and it would turn a cat inside out in a hurry. The bears here are pretty docile with all the fish and forage around.
 
Like you I am really enthusiastic about the Lynx. I believe it will fill the niche between the .223 (which I really like) and the .243, which I have a few but don't like quite so much.

If it can come close to doing the same job as a .243, with the same sort of costs and recoil as the .223 I think it will be a winner.

Logically the cost will not approach the same level as the .223 until it gets mass production....next year maybe?? LOL

The closest I get to salt water is Caribbean vacations and boiling potatoes.

Dave

PS. Does anyone know if the old Brownings made by Sako many years ago have conventional threaded barrels?​

Yep, they are threaded actions and barrels, don't remember offhand for sure but I do believe they are the same as 700s or very, very close.​
