It's an academic question, really, but here is what prompts it:
A few years ago, a friend of mine thought he owed me a rifle. He gave me a Browning - I GUESS it's an A-Bolt - chambered in 22 Hornet. It was NIB and shot OK, but the trigger didn't suit me. I took it to my 'smith to get him to tweak the trigger.
When I walked in his shop and handed him the rifle, he said;" I ain't gonna "K" it for you". He knows I'm kinda partial to Ackley cartridges in certain chamberings. I told him I had no interest in a K Hornet, but wondered why he wouldn't do it.
He said he rechambered a Browning to a K for a customer, and the guy really pushed the envelope in loading, and tried to get more loads out of a case than he should. Guy had a case rupture and suffered some damage to his face.
So.... he decided to do no more K's in a Browning action.
I still have the rifle and have no plans to modify it, but I'm curious as to what y'all think about the deal.
