Eagle View Arms Prototype 2011 5mm rimfire
Did this rifle make production?
A real pity the 5mm forums are dead and interest seems to have dropped off so much on the 5mm, the prototype really looked a nice rifle. Appreciate any updates Johno |

You have to recognize my skill in selecting dead in the water topics
Could I speculate on the B mag or ruger 17 WSM which run at 33,000 psi being suitable as a doner, have read Lowell mention that the rim need to be completly enclosed would this be a limiting factor on the above rifles Johno Last edited by johno; 08-25-2019 at 11:37 PM. |

The closer that I got to making a functional rifle the more I appreciated the work that Remington did to field these rifles in the first place.
I talked personally to many of the rifle makers at several SHOT Shows and had some very interesting discussions and others that were quiet short. I had to opportunity to assist on a couple of legal cases and that opened my eyes as to the liability of decisions made about the 5MM rifle. I finally decided that as much as I love that little cartridge, that I could not support the rimfire version of it. That leaves the challenge of someone producing at least drawn cases for handloading the 5MM Craig Centerfire version. I would love to experiment with drawing the cases but it is a long way from the design software to production manufacturing of cases. I have done some work on drawing these cartridges in the past and even got quotes for a series of machines to make these cartridges. Unfortunately I can't pencil a profit point in having those machines made for the 5MM by someone else. I can't say what will happen in the future

Thanks for that feedback, must have a heck of a lot of work.
Maybe now with both the rifles I mentioned being built to that psi figure there might be be a possibility of conversion but it would be expensive, guess I just have to stick with the 592 Jphnp |

I have found that a TC Contender makes a great 5MM. That is how I got started working with Contenders and Encores.
