Ive been wondering how hard it is to get the barrel off an MK-85.
dr1445 said:it depends, the rifle came with the A1344 bp for caps. there is a conversion kit for 209. the kit comes with the A1403 bp, which can use 209 or caps. google the part # and they should come up, if you get to the traditions site, you will need to scroll down. if doing a new build you might look at using the the knight m900023 bp, it has the nut for removal. 2 other features of the lightning, the bolt is cock on close and unlike other spanish rifles of the type the lightning uses 2 screws to hold the action in the stock.

I believe this would be the case for the .32, .36. .45 (1:20), and .54.
Of course we could be wrong. I'd love to have a plinker... I guess we can keep on wishing!

If i REALLY want one, i will send off an Elite 45 i have to be sleeved or re-barreled. IIRC there is a guy who will sleeve a barrel around $200 or less.
ShawnT said:A 700 action would be more weight I think.
Squeeze said:Its more of a specialty weapon, where say a .40 is though to be the best all around. (heavy enough for deer, able to be loaded light for fowl and small game, and well known as a very accurate caliber for roundball)/quote]
Squeeze, what twist rate for a 40 caliber? Are conicals readily available.
