Come on over to the dark side Keith, you will not regret the shift to the almighty 20 cal club. Can't go wrong. you will forgwt all about that 223 of yours. One of us, One of us, One of use :lol:

Took me a long time to get, the 204 now I hardly use any thing else. You will be surprised I'm sure.

My poor 22 250 is hardly ever used, gonna get it re-barreled to a 20 250 :twisted:

Some researchers claim the correct translation is for 76 white grapes, not virgins.

Could be a bit disappointing....

How long since the 223 saw light of day or spotlight of night.4 years would be my guess.

It actually got let out of the safe for a run about 6 months ago from memory. I took it out to the farm and put a sick horse down.
Apart from that I don't think it has seen much action since I used to use it as a backup gun when you were trying to shoot foxes with a HMR.

It's probably been asked a hundred times, but will a .204 fit in a .223 magazine? :wink:

Probably the best thing you can do with a 223 magazine is put a 204 in it.
