Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 300 | I was trying to find some information on blank 22lr cartridges today on google, but I was met with surprizingly little success. I was hoping someone might be able to give me some information on where I could locate some and as to their effectivness in a blowback operated rifle (10/22). Thanks in advance for any help or advice! __________________ "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.

Are you asking if 22 blanks will operate a 10/22? No. You could probably modify a blowback 22 to function on blanks, but it would take a lot of mods. Restricted barrel, aluminum bolt, light recoil spring for starters. Revolver, or a tube fed lever, pump or bolt action that will feed shorts is your best bet for a repeater. |

Grumpy Olde Phart | Most well supplied gun shops have .22 blanks- they are used in starter pistols. Shorter than a short, crimped ends. They have no appreciable recoil, so they will not cycle a semi auto. They are also dangerous at close range- the jet of gas can be deadly at point blank range. The .22 cartridges made for powder actuated tools have a LOT more power, and can damage firearms. __________________ What we have heah is.... failure to communicate. |

Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 300 | Thanks everyone for your replys. The main reason I asked was to simply see if they could be easily located. The only reason I'd want them is for training purposes but if they wont succesfuly cycle the action on a stock 10/22, then I really have no need for them. Once again, thanks to all for your help and advice! __________________ "Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.
