steyrsteveNeed .22 Mag or .22 Hornet auxilliary adaptor for 5.6x57RWS
I have a real nice Savage Anschutz in 5.6x57 RWS. It looks like the one John Amber used for testing the caliber in the 1969 Gun Digest, except mine has a little thicker recoil pad. Does anyone know of a source for the auxilliary adaptors (or whatever they are called) for shooting .22 Mags or .22 Hornets from the rifle?

steyrsteveI contacted Ace Dube at MCA Sports in Alaska. He is going to make me two adapters for my 5.6x57 RWS, one for .22 Mag and one for .22 Hornet. I wanted one for .218 Bee since I am long on .218 Bee brass. However, the Bee is too wide and would intrude on the extractor groove.

steyrsteveContacted Woody Woodall at Lothar-Walther, Germany. They can not import any of their Auxilliary Adapters into the U.S. due to some recently passed law.
