Looking it over I found mine to be free of rust like others had stated in their findings. May have been supplier storage problem. I'm curious about the donor possibilities. Especially for a 20 Vartag. For now I'll wait on a scope and some range time. Thanks Jim

Thanks for the links Bill, but no info regarding barrel threading. Maybe a gunsmith that has had one apart may help. Jim

It's factory.

Just picked one up and was wondering if anyone has experience with this particular rifle ? The one I bought is in 223 with a 26" barrel, and a 1/9 tw. Thanks ! Jim

Just picked one up and was curious about the barrel! Does anyone know it it's the same thread as the Savage ? Thankas ! Jim

I don't know what powder that Remington uses. as I've been told that often they keep it a secret. But I can recommend Ramshots Xterminator powder. It has reduced my group size considerably. Jim

I'm leaning that way also ! The CZs are drying up around here. Too bad the 17 FB didn't take off ! A Factory CZ in 17 FB would've fit the ticket nicely ! Thanks ! Jim

Sounds like a lot of expense to convert a 223 action to feed and work a 221 case. Thanks guys for the help ! Jim

Thanks Mike. The PT &G bolt looks like it would work, but I wonder if feeding from the magazine would still be a problem ? I notice the feed rails on the Fireball action are different than that on a 223 action. Jim

In case anybody is curious how they look, Midway still shows a picture of these bore guides . I called Stoney Point. They must have sold out awhile back, because they are in Kansas, and these bore guides list a New Ulm Minnesota address. Of course they could not help me, that's...

Thanks Tim and Pete. It appears I've been had by Stoney point, as the package states 17 and 22 rimfires. I've seen on another site where an individual swaged the end of what appears to be an aluminum arrow shaft. He made a slipon collar to hold the shaft square in the action. The swaged...

I don't know if you have the Stoney Point bore guide, but the insert has a slot or port . Unless it fits into the chamber, the solvent will leak into the magazine. The guide is a two piece brass colored anodized set that works by twisting the two offset pieces and it wedges itself to...

Does anyone have one for .17 and.22 rimfires, and does it work ? I bought one and the insert is too big to fit in the chamber. Help ! Thanks Jim

Thanks but looking for a repeater. A lot of my shootin is off a bench and in a P dog town. A single shot works great there, but for yotes and fox I'd like a repeater. Thanks ! Still lookin ! Jim

Thanks I've been looking, propably need to expand my search. Things are crazy in the gun market right now ! Jim

No Replies ? Gunsmiths must be too busy. Thanks anyway ! Jim

Wanting to build a 17 Fireball. I have two 17 fireballs in 700 remington, and noticed that the rails and bolts are different from a 223 700 remington. Does Remington have the 17 fireball actions for sale, or do I need to look elsewhere ? Thanks ! Jim

I just bought my second Vanguard in 223. This was the low dollar variety. $350 at Sportsmans Warehouse. It was thier last one, and a counter gun, you know the one they jack the bolt and hand to you to look at ? Sure the bolt showed some wear, but boy does she shoot ! I put on a secondhand...

Jackie, do you have a recommendation for a quality bronze bore brush ? Thanks. Jim

Hi Gary I bought a Prosonic on ebay. Works great, I do about 50 223s at a time. It does'nt come with a basket, so I made one from a plastic 2 liter bottle. I know a picture would really help here ! I too found 6mmbr.com very helpful with thier article. Experiment with your solution until...
