.327 federal magnum, "plus .5"," doesn't exist, so you'd have to have custom brass made, then have a barrel made for it, then test it in a gun you've put together for it, making sure it functions, then develop a load for it, etc. I'm not really that interested in that idea. What I am interested in, is taking the cheapest WSM push-feed gun I can find, and rebarreling it in .500 S&W. The bolt face for WSM's is .555", and the cartridge base diameter for the .500 S&W is .560". I think a WSM bolt face could be relieved, and would work. I want to go talk to my gunsmith tomorrow about it. Also, the box magazine for WSM's might work, since it's only semi-rimmed, but any issue could be worked out with the appropriate follower.
Stopped into Cabelas last night and made an impulse purchase.
Another plinker to play with. HKMP5-22. Had enough gift certs to pay for it and get cash back...

always a fan of the 22lr, dont care what anyone says. People make fun of me and my redjacket ZK22, but i can shoot it all day and not break the bank...

I've seriously thought about picking up a ZK22 kit along with another 10/22. I've never been a bullpup fan but that kit looks well built. I really wanted one of the Pro Mag Arch Angel G36 kits but most of the reviews are pretty bad, the fitment is supposed to just be awful.

Exactly the reason i decided to pick it up. Wasn't looking to buy anything but, when I saw it I got the itch and ammo is CHEAP, when you can find it...

I had the NOMAD kit, it fit great!!! only problem was the magazine. IT MELTED after i did constant triple taps for the entire magazine.I returned it to Midway USA. You can use other 10/22 magazines, but they just dont look right....the deal with the Ruger 10/22 is that the clearances are all different depending on the year it was made (different thicknesses of metal, finishes and whatnot) so bullpup designers take an average on the clearances and supply shims with the hardware just in case.
10/22s have been in short supply since November....
@ Jewrrick, i work at the NAS JRB Fort Worth, and they stock them pretty regularly, they are 225 NO TAX, ill buy as many as i can and sell you one for what i paid....
