Uh....Hello???....MUST. HAVE. THIS. GUN!!!

[alberta tactical rifle]

I'm liking the sound of this...Assuming that you get these built, will there be any ammo? I've always wondered why, if we can't buy 20mm from the States, why can't we get surplus 12.7mm or 14.5mm from some Eastern European or african country?

Our plan is to build a few 20mm single shot target rifles. The chambering will be 20x138B which although technically obsolete, newly manufactured casings and 50 BMG primers are available. The projectiles will be lathe turned monolithic.

A close friend of mine owns a bullet making company and is working on the bullet end of the project. We are hoping to attain a bullet with a 2.0 or better B.C., likely close to 3" long (yes you read that right 3 inches).

The reason for not seeing much in any of the medium or larger size ordnance such as 14.5 or even 20 in Canada is yet again government regulation and bureaucratic B.S. both by our government and foreign governments.
Several years ago in South Africa I purchased a LARGE quantity of 20x138B and 50 BMG casings from PMP Denel only to be denied an export permit from S.A. and import certs from Canada. This was casings only, not live ammo.

No need to mention bears as the answer seems pretty obvious but I am curious, does it have a chrome lined bore?

No,it doesn't.Their barrels are getting dead very fast!But I do have several solutions for that-and one of them I currently almost implemented!Just have all the needed stuff to make a very long living improved version of PTRS-41,which will have at least 20 thousand shots before major refurbishment,instead of 100-150 in earlier version and 400-500 in later one(before and after November 1943 production)!
By the way I also currently building a completely new straight pull bolt-action rifle around KPVT barrel!All the rest of the parts there are my own design,by the way designed exactly to use significantly more powerful ammunition of my own design as well-and the same time be one man-portable and with a very effective recoil absorbing system!

Yep,and if someone is interested in buying some 14.5×114 ammo just also DM me!I have such a pile of ORIGINAL BS41,B32 and BZT-44 rounds that it will be supposedly the wise move just to sell some(really I assumed more than a thousand of them all)

So I am looking forward to hear some questions and maybe answers about this stuff!
