Goin' for another .223!
« on: December 23, 2005, 11:44:43 AM »
Call it crazy or what. But I'm sending my UVF reciver in after the first of the year for a set of Monte Carlo stocks and a new .223 fluted barrel.
I already have a Ultra .223 and a AR-15 varmiter. But I want another barrel in .223.  :roll:
The 22-250 fluted barrel just did not produce the accuracy I was looking for. Also the Choate stock felt good off hand but I really did not like it off the bench.
So I'll send the reciver off soon.
Just can't stand to see that reciver sitting in the safe with no barrel on it or stocks. And with a 3.1 lb. trigger pull, it's just to smooth to be idle.
Reloading for the .223 has become a lot of fun here latley, after 20+ years of reloading  that little cartridge has put the fun  back into reloading.

Yup, Tim;

That's the very reason I'm getting the .223 barrel. For the different twist and the extractor. As for the stocks that I sold you, I'm glad you put them to good use. I really like the Camo Laminate, I've got camo stocks on my NWTF 12ga. and my Huntsman Muzzle loader.  So I think it's gonna look great camo stocks and a fluted deep blue barrel.
Reckon we can call it a Ultra Camo Varmit Fluted? UCVF.  :roll:
I'll let you know when I get it.

Marv;

That's my main reason for getting the barrel and stocks, the next Prairie Dog shoot out in Oklahoma.  :wink:
