Miroku built 1885 in 6mm PPC

[COLT45SA]

The most fun I've ever had was with my SAKO Vixen Hunter in 6mm PPC. It was the most accurate factory rifle I'd ever shot. I never should have sold it. Now days I'm enamored with the 1885 Winchester. I have an extra one with a crescent butt and a 1/2 oct-1/2 rnd barrel and I was wondering what other people think of converting it to 6mm PPC-USA caliber.
Flame the hell out of me but I'm interested in your thoughts~! I also like the 6mm ARC caliber~!

I think you should follow your passion. It's your rifle, build it as you wish and ignore any detractors. Sounds like a hoot in either 6mm version, and something truly unique.

I find myself shooting single shot rifles more and more 4- hi walls.
Currently building a 7x57 on a rem roller, 1897 model with smokeless action and a 24" tapered GM barrel, with curly maple stock and forearm, scope base with a 3x9x40 Leupold on it. Just need to hot blue, and finish the stocks, ready for deer season. To each his own, sounds like a fun rifle, I would do it in a heartbeat.

I shoot mainly single shots. Never gave a care what anyone else thought about it. Go for it.

I have Ruger #1 6ppc and has Hart barrel Keplinger set trigger. One of my PD rifles.

I had a B78, similar to the 1885, rebarreled with a Brux in 244AI. It’s 28” heavy tapered octagon. I really like it.
