Begs the question, why the hardon against the K-Hornet?
Way back in the day a fella in those shoes would've automatically turned to one of the Lovell wildcats. Still not a bad option if brass can be had. (Swage them out of .223 brass and be the only kid on the block with one.) Easy for me to say, I own three Lovell wildcats.
Or, sell it to a Hornet enthusiast and use the money for a modern whizbang?
I once owned a pre-war 70 Hornet that some idiot re-chambered to .222, and very skillfully fitted a Savage 340 magazine into the magazine well. Worked and shot like a dream, but a significant blow to a classic rifle in a classic caliber.
