Got another plinker back - Fluted Bull Barrel Content!

[Truegiant]

I helped a buddy of mine put this together a long time ago. He needed cash a while back and sold it to a guy on a local forum. I did some trading for it this morning. It was orig a Ruger 10/22 carbine and was converted to a .17HM2 not a HMR. Following the success of the .17 HMR, the .17 Hornady Mach 2(.17 HM2), was introduced in early 2004. The .17 HM2 is based on the .22 LR (slightly longer in case dimensions) case necked down to .17 caliber using the same casing as the HMR but at a velocity of approximately 2300 ft/s in the 17 grain polymer tip loading.

When we originally put this together it was about $1100 total. IT SHOOTS CRAZY small groups!

Ruger 10/22 Carbine ($250)
Custom Wood Peppered Stock ($120)
Aftermarket Trigger Set ($85)
Lever action Mag release ($45)
Jeweled Bolt assy ($85)
E. Arthur Brown Fluted .17hmr barrel ($225)
E. Arthur Brown Heavy Bolt kit / ext charging handle ($100)
Scope rail Mount ($45)
Simmons AETEC Scope 2.8x10 GLASS ($200)

I got it with 450rds of CCI Mach 2 Fast and Furious ammo. About a $80 value.

Now I am off to go do some plinking at a buddies. Here are some photos!
