DanielT Report post Posted August 31 A buddy asked me to zero an old Remington 660 marked 222 REM that he picked up and had not yet shot. I took it out and found that 222 seemed too short for the chamber, it would not fire, and the bolt would not pull it from the chamber. I assumed it may have been rechambered to 223 as they often were, so I tried putting a 223 round in it and the bolt closed and pulled the cartridge back out as it should. There are no markings to indicate it is now a 223, so I’d like to run go no go gauges through it before I attempt to fire a 223 round through it. Is there anyone in the Mesa area that has a set I could run through the rifle real quick? I figured I’d ask before buying a set for a rifle that is not mine. Thank you.

MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted August 31 I can have a set in PHX Friday or I can also take a mold of the chamber to be sure if needed. Im sure theres a few shops out your way that would check for nothing. Axis in Tempe might if you call them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HuntHarder Report post Posted August 31 Just buy a go gauge and use clear tape on back for no go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanielT Report post Posted September 2 ctafoya allowed me to use his. Thanks for the feedback. His gauges seem to confirm my suspicion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
