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
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

Some researchers claim the correct translation is for 76 white grapes, not virgins.Camel wrote:Yeah yeah yeah, we know you are just after the 70 vergins, they don't mention in their books or myths that they have to be human virgins, letalone female. Aweful thought Keith, ever wondered if "YOU" could be one of the 70
Could be a bit disappointing....

Glad to know I'm not on the same special list as you....Camel wrote:The Raven wrote:Stop posting this stuff, I don't want to end up on any 'special' lists.
If it makes you feel a little worse mate, I have you down as one of the "Special" ones.

How long since the 223 saw light of day or spotlight of night.4 years would be my guess.James270 wrote:Buy a 204 Keith and I bet your 223 gets about the same ammount of use that mine does these days

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

Probably the best thing you can do with a 223 magazine is put a 204 in it.Knackers wrote:It's probably been asked a hundred times, but will a .204 fit in a .223 magazine?
