20 mm rifles?

[MisterHappy]

20mm would be about 0.79in.

Then, what's the point?

 

[Broc]

Yes, anything greater than 50 cal is a Destructive Device per NFA.

So, a 500 Linebaugh revolver needs to be registered?

A former NES dealer/member who showed at a lot of NES Shoots had a great picture of a GSD lined up behind a 20mm Solothurn.

Thank God i don't have a 20mm and have a 2cm

SKS Ray! There's a NES handle I haven't heard in a long time.
His status?

Lives on facebook with his pet chipmunk.

The gun is the DD not the ammo unless it's explosive or over 1/4 ounce of energetics, not $200 per round of ammo as others have posted. $200 tax stamp on either a form 1 (if you make it) or form 4 (if it's already registered and you transfer it), for the rifle. If you're serious there's a lahti action for a decent price on gunbroker. Purchase it, submit a form 1 for it and then hunt down a barrel to complete it.

Bu bu bu but I read it on the INTERNET!

Thanks for the clarification, seriously.

I wish one of those could ever be in my budget, but that's never gonna happen, short of a big Powerball win.

Of course, keep an eye out. Here's some inspiration for your hunt.

I've only seen a 39 Lahti once. Must've been well over ten years ago. I was meeting SKS Ray @ Zero Hour Arms in Easton to buy a Finnish Capture Mosin Nagant. I went into the shop, looked up and there was a 39 Lahti hanging from the ceiling, ski's and all. The guy behind the counter asked if I knew what it was and I told him my grandmother's from Finland, I know what it is. He said " Twelve Grand and it's yours ". Outta my price range.

Yup. That's where I saw it. ZHA was my fav gun shop. I used to go after work and chill on the couch and hide from the wife.

So, I don't speak Metric....it it bigger than an .88 Magnum?

I found a better use for my 20mm dummy rounds. They were going to be turn signals for my motorcycle build but didn't like they way they looked on bike. Now part of decoration on the hotrod/pimp van.

this was a serious question. 500 Linebaugh fires a .510 bullet.

And I have been thinking about getting a BFR in 500 Linebaugh.

It would be a lot cooler if it was considered a destructive device.

 

[Rob Boudrie]

The first one that I thought of was the Lahti L-39 anti-tank weapon. WW2 vintage

The Lahti ammo is different than 20mm and hard/expensive to get.

Typical 20mmm ammo for rifles is 20mm Vulcan ammo that has been reloaded to use a percussion primer instead of the original electrical primer.

The National Firearms Act of 1968 references bore size not bullet size for destructive devices.

Got it.

Interesting, reading about this lead to learning about the 50 AE having to be pre-designed.

I learned something new.

A lahti can be rebarreled to 20mm Vulcan using a 20mm rotary cannon barrel. This is helpful as a large amount of them were imported with drilled barrels and carbide pins welded into them. I'm able to reload for my lahti for not much more than .50 bmg.

[Varmint]

20 is the new .40?

 

[MattM]

She's currently out west getting repaired. I'll take some when I it back in a few weeks.

 

[burpfire]

I have a 20mm Anzio. I also have a silencer I built for it. Also have almost 400rds for it from ball, a.p. tracer, and saphe rds. None of the rds need a tax stamp unless they have more than a 1/4 ounce of explosives in the tips. The guns are no longer be made, and ammunition is anywhere from 40 to 70 per Rd. You have never shot a gun until you shoot a 20mm!

 

[CATI]

In elementary school I brought a live 20mm round to sch00l for show and tell
My grandfather gave it to me and it was from when he was in Korea in the Navy
This would have been around 1995-1996
My grandparents were older so I never asked about it (1929 year of birth)
This was in MA but in a private school, it went completely normal and nothing came of it

In! I’ll buy a few rounds and meet up with you!

I let anyone shoot it, I'm in western Wisconsin

A bit of a ride! Thanks for the offer though!

I do believe they were an option on the new jeeps

A bit puny,

This was on my Jeep when I wore a younger mans cloths. JETA, Just adding for sizing, that small looking tube on the top is the sight. It's a 50 cal that uses spotting rounds and the stuff hanging out from the rear are the main guns rounds.:

Man where are you getting your ammo? I'm currently paying half that for 20mm Vulcan loaded on virgin brass and TP projectiles from a manufacturer.

 

[Fritz the Cat]

They make about as much sense as a 50BMG.

It's a 50 bmg but metric. Plus, Henry Bowman had a Lahti. He shot down helicopters with it.

Dang. Let me know where? I can't find it anywhere? Last rds I bought were a.p
And 50.00 Rd. He also has ball rds but wants 40.00rd. I would appreciate it finding a way cheaper source.
