I've always been partial to the .220 Swift for varmits. Old school and well papered for loads.
But that .204 Ruger sounds like a good round.
211USMC -
Is anybody offering a replacement barrel assembly? That might be something to look into what with the rising popularity of that pistol and the prob of bulging.
Just a thought.
The only way I'm going to get that barrel out is to cut the slide assembly off. Then I would have to find someone with the right gunsmith press to press the barrel out of the frame.
By the time I would replace the barrel and slide, along with the labor, I would probably have as much in it as a replacement gun. (I also wouldn't know for certain if the frame was 100% after the incident.)
Since you can buy the surplus CZ82s for around $200, that seems to be the logical way to go.
