Hmm. I thought it was known that the 17HMR is known to be dangerous in a straight blow back action, such as the Ruger 10-22/10-17. One reason they discontinued the 10-22 magnum. The delayed blow back system that the Savage A17 uses is much safer when running the higher pressure rimfire rounds like the 17HMR. Since the Volquartsen is a glorified Ruger 10-22, I would not trust it as being safe.. JMHO..
