.700 JDJ Superlight Handi Carbine...

Want the lightest bear defense gun ever made... thinking of a .700 JDJ in a Super Light .680 O.D barrel... should be lighter than air!

Good luck! I hope it all works out for you.   

Thanks, Dinny

I am just waiting for someone to do the math

I think it would work, IF you reamed it to 0.670 groove diameter.

the bullet would go down the barrel like a mouse goes down a snake.

I've seen it on TV, I think it was Yosemite Same who had a rifle so chambered.

it worked fine for him....








Most of the time!

Wayne York sent me this about reboring dimensions "The minimum barrel OD at the muzzle is .200 overbore, i.e.;   a .308 barrel must have an OD of .510 in order to go to .358."

Thanks, Dinny

Well, that went over like a bomb... they apparently did miss it George.
Been cooped up by the Canadian winter, thought I would throw out a "spoof" of the magnum bear defense rifle threads that are going around, for comic relief...
As in; 0.700" I.D and 0.680" O.D = "lighter than air."
 
Oh well, maybe next time.
