    Any interest in a 20mm rifle?

    Being a true big bore addict I was thinking that maybe I am not alone in this small club. Maybe there are others that might want to have a 20mm rifle? So I got thinking, as we already have a chamber reamer for the 20x138B as well as dies, brass , bullets and such for my L39 Lahti, why not make some single shot 20mm rifles?

    My plan is to scale up dimension-ally the 50 cal single shot actions ATRS made years ago as it is simple and incredibly strong and then make a basic chassis for it. Barrels of 48" are being sourced currently.

    This will be a small run of very niche rifles and I expect they will run in the $9 to 10K price range, so certainly not something for the weak of pocketbook.

    The rifle would look similar to this but much bigger.

    Probably be cheaper and easier in the long run to get a hobby lathe and turn your own projectiles.

    Now that would be COOL...but I'm poor, you're depressing me Rick, and right after the joy of dropping a digital hand grenade in "The Mess Tent".
    For projectiles 20mm Vulcan practice round bullets that have the drive bands turned down are a cheap alternative.
    We will be "turning" solid brass bullets as well.
    Casings are the hard part to source but if there is a demand we may look at sourcing a larger quantity.

    If so you might have a deal!
    IF USO still makes the SN9 it could be a possibility.
    Frankly I was less than impressed with the SN9 so flipped mine in favor of a more rugged optic. The elevation was great but the breaking of the integral scope mount got thin quick.

    Can we own 25mm rifles?
    Yes we can, even 105mm C3 Howitzers and more deemed non-restricted.

    There IS a very distinct possibility we will move forward with this. Much will depend on who really steps up and puts their money where their keyboard is.

    This is brilliant.

    In already having a big rifle that's next to impossible to feed, my first question, and usually a silly one:

    Does loaded 20mm have the green light to enter the country and be sold to civilians? If yes, is it currently available, and at what cost per round?

    The theme of the initial post is obviously reloading.. I see that.

    Great idea guys.

    No as dies are 2.5" diameter. We will make a larger tool head for our ACCUMAXX press. A standard 50 cal press will not have enough travel as a live round of 20x138B is minimally 8.125" OAL
