I stand corrected. They Exist, but it's damn expensive.

This is something I've been looking for too, but damn that's expensive! There's got to be a better way.

Back bore a TacSol upper and install a 1:9 twist barrel liner
Re: Any source for Ruger MKII 1:9 upper?!?
I and many others on rimfirecentral have fiddled with 1:9 barrels on a variety of guns with little luck. Problem is the only ammo available is the SSS and it sucks. Very inconsistent in accuracy, some lot#'s seem OK but many were bad. I also notice alot of port chatter with it, more sparks out the ejection port as well, maybe the short case exposes the chamber gases earlier than a LR case?
I would recommend lots of research before investing $ in a 1-9. Not trying to rain on anyones parade, but it ended up being a red herring for me.

No, that's good information. I hadn't considered the short case, but you're probably right about it being the cause of sparks. Back to the drawing board I go...

Re: Any source for Ruger MKII 1:9 upper?!?
My buddy had a special order Tacsol MK2 upper made in 1/9 a few years ago so he could run SSS. It has never worked right for more than 4-5 rounds in a row. Feeding issues primarily as it won't chamber the long bullet; It wants to bend it rather than feed it. When it does feed, as was stated, you get some inconsistant chamber spark and it doesn't usually clear the cases briskly either. Tacsol said they'd made a hand full of them and found they didn't work right and felt the market was too limited that's why they're not offered.

I'm starting to think that SSS round is only good for single-shot or bolt-action guns. I like the idea of it, but I've come across a lot of bad feedback about it.

If you can do this, you might as well use a 1:9 Barrel blank
But then again, we've seen some pictures of your stuff.. you are too damn good.

Aluminum with a 22 liner works good, maybe I will try a 1:9 twist liner.
Made a AR aluminum 9mm barrel and it is 1/2 the weight of the same
profiled barrel in all steel.

I have a single shot tc contender that shoots good groups with the SSS ammo.Jimmy_Jr wrote:I'm starting to think that SSS round is only good for single-shot or bolt-action guns. I like the idea of it, but I've come across a lot of bad feedback about it.
The problem with the auto's is the chamber size most of the time but
it can be fixed with the correct reamer, but then is it worth it to modify a
22 host just for this one kind of ammo.

Well in the case of my buddy, he says yes. I tried to talk him out of it as well but he was committed; so much so that he about 30-40k rounds of SSS just for that gun. Like most of us with something or another, he got tickled by a particular idea and dove in head first. When I get home, I'm going to take a look at it for him and see if I can get it running right.

It will need some polishing, maybe spring tuning and possible chamber mods to get itSchlafftablett wrote:Well in the case of my buddy, he says yes.

more reliable.
Even after it will still throw alot of sparks and crap out the port door.

Re: Any source for Ruger MKII 1:9 upper?!?
I kinda figured that's what it would need. I played with the gun before he put the tacsol upper on and IIRC it had a bit excessive headspace and the spring set was fairly worn. I'll probably start with new springs and trigger job then work up from there.

Show off....
I envy your skill like no other.

I shoot SSS out of a MKii Target w/ 10" heavy tapered barrel and it functions fine and is accurate at 25 yards.

What is accurate to you ?DorikinGTSt wrote:I shoot SSS out of a MKii Target w/ 10" heavy tapered barrel and it functions fine and is accurate at 25 yards.
2" groups or .5 inch groups at 25 yards as I have seen 4.5" barreled MKIIs' on the bench shoot .5 at 50 yrds with
40 grn ammo but never with the 60's

1 MOA is fine. What would it cost to have you reline a factory barrel?
