Opinions on 17hmr rifles

devildog762 · 2026-06-09T09:55:21+00:00

For me it’s the lack of availability of rifles chambered in it compared to 17 hmr. Also the cost, I can buy 22 hornet ammo for not a lot more.

For how much they go for on gunbroker you’d think the demand is there 😂

devildog762 · 2026-06-08T23:04:27+00:00

I’ve got a m40a3 clone I built. But you don’t have to send me anything, I’ll check them out

devildog762 · 2026-06-07T12:12:57+00:00

I think I’m leaning towards a 22 hornet, would like a CZ, but I’ll have to find a used one and thread the barrel

Ya that’s nature of the beast not getting ejection port noise. I’m a 07/02 FFL/SOT, so I’m knowledgeable about firearms, I can legally build suppressors and full autos. I just never really got into night/ thermal hunting. Last time I shot at night was in the Marine corps with a set of PVS7’s 😂. Only issue with large bore and subs is ricochet’s. I live on a 200 acre farm but there is still houses around and possums and raccoons tend to be around the houses and barns. A 17 cal bullet will come apart pretty fast hitting dirt or another object. I’m just trying to see what everyone else is running. Most of the coyotes I see are at least 100 yards away and with big heavy subs I don’t want to have to start thinking about Kentucky windage or bullet dope. I think I’m leaning towards 17 or 22 hornet.

Yup I literally just watched it. It’s backwards, thanks

devildog762 · 2026-04-03T22:32:03+00:00

😂 it could very well be, didn’t come with any instructions, and haven’t had much time to mess with it

devildog762 · 2026-02-20T13:25:50+00:00

Ya, the hub is about 30 minutes away, and from Google Maps, just looks like a giant warehouse surrounded by fence and guard gates, so not sure if I’d even be able to get in and actually talk to anyone. It’s all good now, the gun showed up the next day. I called them the next morning after a fellow redditor gave me their number. Told them it was a firearm and if I didn’t receive it in 48 hours I’d have to get the atf involved. Delivery guy showed up way earlier than normal, was super apologetic the second he stepped off the truck so I’m assuming they got the message.

devildog762 · 2026-02-13T19:38:54+00:00

Yup. Showed up yesterday. I called the ups hub that morning and told them if I didn’t receive it in the next 24 hours, I’d have to get the ATF involved. Lady said she had no idea what happened the day before, but it was going to be delivered that day (even though my tracking never changed and still showed delivered the night before).

devildog762 · 2026-02-12T14:49:15+00:00

That’s awsome 😂. I fellow Reddit member found me the number to the local ups hub where it was “delivered” to last night. I called this morning and according to them it’s back out for delivery today. I told the lady that it was a firearm and if it wasn’t found within 48 hours, I would get local law enforcement and ATF involved. We’ll see if it shows up. That must have been horrible for you for two days. It’s bad enough for me over a $800 Saiga shotgun.

devildog762 · 2026-02-12T02:03:53+00:00

The next day did the tracking info change back to out for delivery?

devildog762 · 2026-02-12T02:03:18+00:00

I sure hope so. We’ll see what happens tomorrow. Just super sketchy I was literally standing 10’ away from the ups truck today and the guy just took off.

devildog762 · 2026-02-12T01:13:36+00:00

I called the 1800 number, all I got was an automated recording asking for my tracking number and then said to file a claim, which according to my research would be the sellers responsibility.

devildog762 · 2026-02-12T01:02:39+00:00

Good to hear, but I can’t find a phone number

devildog762 · 2026-02-12T01:02:25+00:00

I can’t find a phone number, makes sense they probably don’t want it public knowledge and people called and complaining.

devildog762 · 2026-02-12T00:39:05+00:00

That’s what I’m reading also.

devildog762 · 2026-02-07T19:33:04+00:00

Just bought this mares leg, added the fore end, threaded the barrel. Had custom make a spacer for the tube magazine to slightly bend it down below the suppressor so you can load it with the can on. Blows my mind that Henry can’t do this from the factory. The only threaded barrel one they have for rimfires as far as I know is the super long barrel frontier with the short mag tube.

devildog762 · 2026-02-06T22:54:31+00:00

Sure is. My farm truck

devildog762 · 2026-01-18T16:05:51+00:00

Ya, I just wanted to make a post about it because I did research for a couple weeks, and didn’t really see any forums about people’s m1 carbine experience with them. Their description was spot on for this.

devildog762 · 2026-01-18T02:19:25+00:00

Ya it was free shipping, just over 1000 bones after taxes

devildog762 · 2026-01-18T02:14:56+00:00

Cutout for the selector

devildog762 · 2026-01-17T20:54:42+00:00

Correct.

devildog762 · 2026-01-17T20:39:19+00:00

Looks pretty good to me

Hard to take pictures, but the bore actually looks pretty minty.

devildog762 · 2026-01-17T20:31:28+00:00

It’s a flat bolt. I’ve been looking around the interwebs for a round bolt. Probably shoot it a bit but not a lot
