AR 17hmr

DOes any company build an 17hmr AR barrel?

Ive never heard of it but that would be a great combo for gophers.....too bad about the restricted status.

I'd imagine that you'd need more than just a different barrel...probably looking at different cartridge lengths and all...and .17 HMR being rimfire and all.

An interesting idea though. I've got a Savage in 17 HMR that's more fun than an ammo can full of Arty sims

Maybe a kit for an AR180B mod that'd allow .17HMR?

Yeah, I know you've got your hands full with billet lowers for the time being. Maybe something to file under "cool potential future projects".

There is a Company that makes 17hmr uppers/barrels similair to the 22 blow back kits

I've got pics here somewhere of what someone made up with a .22 HMR conversion of an AR.

I keep thinking about doing one up in .17 HM2, that way I don't have to make new magazines.

Bremmer arms made one (M16A3 clone) in .22rf. The only legal semi calibre here now!

If someone is interested in specifics regarding making a .17 HM2 upper, Drop me a note, I've got an interesting e-mail that's been sitting in my inbox waiting for me to get around to working on it for um, over 3 years.

I'll get to it, but it makes GREAT reading....
