Don't tease us speak up man!Man, I could tell you customer stories that would pin your ears back.

Yep^.I do. I recently got some .38 special because the gentleman realized that .380 is mathematically the same as .38. Oddly enough, they were too long to go into his magazine when he got them home.
I actually had a guy ask me the same exact question at the last 1500. He thought it came with two barrels!I was at GM last year and a customer was looking at a Ruger 22/45. He asked the GM employee if the 22/45 meant that he could shoot .45 out of it, too. The girl who worked there said "yes, I believe so." I stepped in at that point and explained that it could only shoot .22lr and that the 45 referred to the ergonomics. He thanked me and handed it back to her. She proceeded to put it away, gave me a dirty look, and stomped off.
I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but when I was shopping for a .22 pistol, I asked the salesperson at a local shop if the 22/45 came with a 45 conversion kit or something, since I'd never heard of the 22/45 before. Hey, at least I didn't think it would fire both .22 and .45 with the same barrel/bolt/receiver! [/QUOTE
was this perhaps at the 1500?
No, but it was at ITP!I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but when I was shopping for a .22 pistol, I asked the salesperson at a local shop if the 22/45 came with a 45 conversion kit or something, since I'd never heard of the 22/45 before.

Please don't shoot .308 out of your 7.62x51! I'm afraid you are backwards here! .308 is the higher pressure round in this situation!There are plenty of rounds that are "compatible" that I can understand the confusion. That one can shoot .223 in a 5.56, .308 in a 7.62x51, .38spc in a .357mag, .

A commercial .308 round can exceed the maximum rated PSI (pressure) for the 7.62x51.
So can I shoot .50 BMG in a .50AE gun? I can right? Im'a do it right now.
That might have been me then.No, but it was at ITP!
Ignorant does not equal stupid and neither equal crazy.
