A buddy of mine in Augusta GA made this .22

He's got a crank trigger on it. Keeps shooting as long as you keep winding the crank. In the US, that's still semi auto, because it only fires 1 bullet per trigger pull - the fact that there's a cam attached to a crank makes no difference.

In Canada, those trigger cranks are specifically prohibited. Can't remember the precise reg, just that I looked into it once thinking it would be fun, but of course, fun is prohib by law up here.
 
Pretty cool indeed. Man...they're allowed to have fun down there aren't they? lol Imagine if that was one, big, integrated suppressor. (thought it was at a glance) Looks like it's meant to hold water to keep the barrel cool. Your friend is wired right if you ask me! :)

Will is wired good.. But then he also owns a Cannon, a bunch hand guns, and some seriously cool rifles. Plus like me he's a Mazda truck enthusiast :)
 
Unless that reciever is registered as a pistol it's illegal in the U.S. too, depending on barrel length.

why would it be illegal? if it's a barrel length issue it could be registered as an SBR but since it's not shoulder fired that shouldn't factor in either.

Either way, very cool, a little jealous, wish we could have cam triggers up here.

ONLY the crank makes it prohibited, remove the crank and put a trigger assembly, and it is a non-restricted, water cooled Ruger again.

That has me wondering...

There are some really neat non-corrosive, non-conducting fluids used in liquid cooling hyper-clocked CPUs... There are even complete immersion cases for an entire system (for ultra nerds pushing their gaming machines to the xTreme)... Never really looked into it, because it seemed like an expensive waste of time when you can get a decent commodity desktop fairly cheap that can handle almost any gaming need...

But for barrel cooling I can see it. It might be gentler on the barrel in the long run than water. Now I'm going to have to go look up what fluids they were using for that, and whether it's relatively inexpensive/non toxic...

I am as GEEK as they get. I built a system for KoolAnce in the 90's a Pentium I 700mhz running at 1.82GHZ, it was a complete immersion case, the mobo was in transformer oil.

A stainless barrel probably wouldn't have rust issues if you used distilled water, but a cooling oil like transformer oil would work better.
