What with the resent intrest in the Model 53 .22 Remington Jet these days, Just thought y'all might like a pic or two.
Been hold up here south of the Red here a few days.
No phone, no pool and no pets to speak of.
Although, I'm mosty known for my fondness toward the 44s and 45s, I do crack out the smaller offering from time to time.
One of my ranch pickup guns is a six inch 53 that rides in one of them lit'l zip up cases.
I like the cartridge purty good. More ooph that the LR, less recoil than the 357 bores.
I do sometimes in a pinch, form Jet brass from trimmed .357 cartridge cases.
However, I did picked up a thousand pieces of new Remington brass for the Jet here awhile back, so using that for now.
Bullets in the proper diameter was also addressed.
Lots of .224 40 grain soft points and flat based hollow points on hand.
Just needed a die to swage 'em down...So, jest built myself one.
While I was at it, took a spare 6" and made 'er a handy four inch belt gun.
Purty much got a handle on this'n fer now.
Su Amigo,
