Hello,
Has anybody ever found a gunsmith who was able to build a revolver (a converted Blackhawk springs to mind) on any of the 17 caliber rounds and make it work? I just got off the phone to Reader custom guns, and they have dropped their 17 caliber stuff, due to their 8" length was not allowing rounds from the 17 AH and 17 AB to stablize......causing "only 1 inch" groups at 50 yards. I was thinking just to use a longer or a fast twist barrel to clear up this problem. Help would be appreciated. |

No idea who could do the work, but as a cartridge base you could try to find a Ruger revolver in .30 Carbine and rebarrel to .17 Carbine. Otherwise, maybe a .17/357? By the way, what kind of velocity were they getting from that revolver they tested? Good luck. |

Gary Reeder is the guy I believe does the revolver work and offers them in several .17 Calibers. THere was atleast one article in Small Caliber News with the revolver. You can call Todd Kindler and purchase that single edition of SCN. or drop me an e-mail and I can look up the contact information. |

Jim,
Gary Reeder has since stopped working on 17 calibers. Something about bad accuracy. I called him and that was what he said. |
