Where should I look to find one of these, to buy or for a loan? Thanks!

You do realise they're just H&H guages as the Capstick is based on the H&H?

Okay, another question that just popped into my head. California's starting to drive me nuts with all these retarded rules and regulations and I'm curious as to if someone else understands them a bit better than I, to get me out of this brainfart.
Can I build a rifle that is larger than a .500 diameter bullet? Say for example, I want to build a 585 Nyati so bad but as for now, I'm weary of getting sucked into some stupid law and ending up commiting a felony for my big bore addiction. From what I understand, one group tells me that anything over a .500 diameter bullet is illegal, which has made me scratch my head more than a few times as there are more than a few floating around here that do not meet that criteria, than there's those who say it's only the .50 bmg that is classified as a destructive device and therefore banned, however over .50's are legal. Just curious, any help would be much appreciated.

Lol...dammit. Thanks Con. Brainfart.

Not true........

Read ATF publication 5300.5 (state laws and published ordinances)

Page 54

Chapter 2.5

Part 12301

Item a-3 ("Any weapon of a caliber of greater than .60....")

"...conforming to the definition of a "destructive device" found in subsection (b) of Section 479.11 of Title 27 of the code of federal regulations."

My determination - make your own........

If the cartridge is an existing commercial one and is NOT classified as a destructive device by the ATF then it is not prohibited by the state as the state law is predicated on the federal standard.

So...if you are inventing something new and it is over .50 then the feds want you to submit the data to them for an opinion. If it is classified as a sporting application by the ATF then it doesn't matter what the caliber is...

The problem with our sport is that most of the information is passed via myth, urban legend, gossip, and BS. Anyone with reasonable reading comprehension skills can make their own determination and follow the guidelines.
