#.22Wmr

Ruger sent out an e-mail today to individuals who are on their registered e-mail list. The message they sent is pretty black-n-white. Ruger is going to discontinue their 77-Series of bolt-action rifles.

Here is a video from almost a year ago. Chad, of Kel-Tec, shoots a full auto CMR-30 suppressed. The rate of fire is rather impressive.

Last Halloween I managed to pick up a Kel-Tec CMR-30 during my first ever trip to Grice’s Gun Shop. I was in the area for a 2Gun match in Mifflin County and decided to finally visit the famous store. They had one CMR-30 in stock so I swooped it up. On the 2 hour return trip home I started thinking of ways to modify the CMR-30. I knew I didn’t want to SBR it. In fact I wanted to cover up the barrel. Upon looking at the exploded diagram in the CMR-30 manual, I figured out a simple DIY solution to making a rail extension. The only problem would be getting the spare parts from Kel-Tec.

All of the key-holing problems associated with the Kel-Tec PMR-30 have apparently not been solved by the recent barrel replacements.

Inevitably, Kel-Tec’s new .22 Magnum (WMR) chambered PMR-30 pistol will be compared to the FN Five-seveN pistol which fires the ballistically similar 5.7x28mm cartridge. If people are not saying it now, they will be soon saying that the .22 Magnum is the same as the 5.7x28mm. I used to say the same thing. It turns out that this is far from the truth.
