[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4334263, member: 46104"] I bought one of the Turk dogs to butcher and for $50 got 1000rds of ammo, rifle and ammo together totalled $100... Cut the barrel back to 16", shortened wood, discarded split handguard, torched/drove off the rear sight/band, installed a front ramp and dovetailed blade, and dredged out a very small Lyman peep with a base the size of a postage stamp made for some long obsolete rifle, but when flipped around fit the right side of the rear bridge perfectly. Took it to a shoot down in Texas where the handgun rage of the time was the .454 with pretty much everyone blasting away with rifle-like noise, and I cut loose with the hot milsurp ammo with its high noon 3ft diameter purple fireball as bright as a flashbulb pop and raising a dust cloud in front of my position... I slowly realized there was no other .454 noise, and looked up to see everyone staring at me, and finally one experienced shooter yelled, "What the hell are you shooting, a 155mm?!". [/QUOTE]
