Please let me know if you have seen one for sale recently.

Good luck finding one; I haven't see one outside of a museum in years. Finding one with the case and ammo/rockets will be even more difficult.

Yeah. I know it will be difficult to find one. If any members have any leads, please reply.

Thanks

Once you assemble a Gyrojet collection (pistols and carbine), maybe you can go for a Dardick and start collecting trounds.

Wasn't there a large caliber (13mm?) version of the Gyrojet that is now considered a destructive device?

I believe I read they reduced the caliber to comply with restrictions.

What was the original intention for this type of round?

Correct, they reduced from 13mm to 12mm to get it under .50 caliber. GCA '68 made anything over .50 caliber a "destructive device".

Low noise, low recoil, and more energy than a .45ACP once it gets up to speed. The wedge shape of the carbine is pretty cool looking, too.

it looks like something out of an old Sci Fi movie?

We all know you're just trying to figure out a way to make that stock for a 10/22 now.

I do have a 10/22 stripped and ready to drop into a new stock
