Action: Hall M ("82 M"), right bolt left port, .470 bolt face
Barrel: 1 in 14 twist, 26" length, 1.5" diameter no taper, chambered in 22 PPC short / Waldog
Trigger: Jewell, pull weight so light it will not register on my Wheeler digital gauge
Location: Orange County, CA
This unit weighs over 14 lbs so you can still use it as a lethal weapon if the cartridge misfires. I do not have a benchrest background, bought this because it looked interesting. Was planning on putting it in a stock but am looking to sell it and move on to another project. By my best guess is it was originally in a railgun chassis.
Barrel has a lot of various scratches/scrapes and looks like it had a barrel tuner on it at some point. I did a chamber cast and concluded it is 22 PPC short but can not determine exactly how short (-0.100" or -0.107", perhaps)
Let's talk about the weird part, the action has engravings on the side: "USA MODEL 22-250 SAN MARCOS, CA". Seller inherited it from an uncle and didn't know anything about it, said it was chambered in .22-250. The receiver was unmarked and it could not be transferred in CA without a manufacturer, model, location ETC so they had an FFL "manufacture" it. My FFL transfer paperwork has Manufacturer: USA, Model 22-250, on it and it was transferred without any hick ups. I researched the heck out of it and determined it's a Hall M and it has "82 M" engraved under the bolt handle, consistent with other Hall actions.
Asking $1100 OBO. Would much prefer a local sale in Southern California but will ship for the right buyer. Will consider face to face trades at an FFL with a CA resident for R700 footprint actions or interesting pistols. If you have a trusted gunsmith out here, I'm willing to travel some amount for them to inspect it.
