Apparently Hectic Holiday

Yesterday was a lot more hectic than I intended it to be...it seems that I have to have lots of assorted tests before they chop-chop my left eyeball...went through the same thing for the surgery on my right eyeball, but I conveniently blotted it all out of my mind. That meant an unanticipated trip down to Boulder and a long, boring wait for tests. Yeech...



Over at the Firearm Blog Steve is showing Oleg Volk's photos of the new Kel-Tec RMR-30 .22 Mag, the carbine version of the largely unobtainable PMR-30 .22 Mag pistol. I guess Steve's comment of "an MP7 for all!" pretty much sums it up.

H-K MP7 4.6 X 30 Cartridge           31-gr Solid HP@2250 fps
RMR-30 .22 Magnum                     30-gr HP@2200 fps

Of course the eventual Kel-Tec won't be full auto and doesn't have that German, shall we say, savoir-faire...

    Michael: re: the Kel-Tec RMR-30, looks good, but it's shame there are ONLY TWO of 'em in existance until well after the Shot Show...

    All The Best,

    I'd like to see the chrono on that 22 mag ammo from a short barrel before pronouncing 2,200 fps....methinks the powder is better akin to rifle lengths.

    Best of luck with the surgery and the recovery afterward. Guess you'll have to lay-off shooting the .50 BMG for a little while, wouldn't want to do any harm to the healing eyes retnia.
    I could be convinced (VERY EASILY) to shooting it for you though...

    Michael,
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your Sweety. Best of luck with the eye surgery. Follow the doctors orders and heal-up right. Oh yeah, take some time off to rest. We'll all still be here when you get back in the driver's seat.

    Kel-Tec has some cool stuff
    too bad we can't buy any of it
    none of it is ever available
    same goes for the marlin 1894c
    I've been waiting a year for.
    as soon as the distibutors get some thay are gone. Why are they coming out with all these new models when they can't keep up with the demand for what they already make?
    If they build it we will buy
