    5mm rimfire

    I read on another forum that aguila announced at SHOT that they have plans to reintroduce the 5mm rimfire cartridge... Is it possible that we will be able to get some cool toys outta this?? Maybe build full feature rimfire AR's minus the standard cap mags?

    I heard it on guntalk last week, I forget exactly; but I think someone's gonna start chambering rifles again.

    And they said it's not going to be called a Remington round this time. I think just the 5mm Magnum.

      Buy it while you can. It may be a one time production run.

            So far, there will be a Taurus revolver and a TC barrel (again), I'm sure many more to come, maybe even from REMINGTON??? How about a Ruger 10/5mm...

              +1, they did this in 2003/4 with a run of ~600,000 rounds I believe.

              Hopefully they keep it up this time, but I wonder what the prices will be like considering it's only one mfg, and reloading isn't a possibility.

                So who's going to be the first to make an AR upper in 5mm?

                  The price from Old West Scrounger is 20 bucks a box. I just got 500 rounds. I think Midway is selling them for 17.99 a box.

                    OWS is who their 03/04 run was for, I didn't even see that Midway put up the new stuff already, I thought they would gouge a lot more than that! I'd definitely have no problem paying ~$325/1000.

                      Spsellers, just ordered another 1000 rds from Cheaper than Dirt.
                      !7.97/box,,,, 20 boxes? 2 cases= 359.40 + 12.17=371.57

                      Midway was out of stock.

                      Anyone have another 592, I'll take it iffin ya want to get rid of it.

                      Ivanimal, any scope as to what scope to put on it. I only use Leupolds so I figure a 3/9 probably work real sweet.

                        Sportsman's guide is selling it for $17/box also, and 22ammo.com said they're going to carry it. All sources seem to be about the same price.
