    Just google "Gru-Bee" and click on the company's website. They market gas motors for bicycles among other things. There is a complete spec sheet on their website. Like I said, I think they are only marketing them via eBay at this time. Just type in "Gru-Bee" in the eBay search engine. That link above is for the Chinese factory that makes them, and is only good if you want to buy 200 at a time.

    I would guess that if you could get a US FFL dealer to contact them, they would be glad to send a paid-for sample. Not many people will order 200 scopes from China sight unseen.

    Another point is that if the Yildiz bore is hard chrome plated, it would need to be the liner that is turned down to fit. 7/16 to .410 shouldn't be too much.

    gnoahhh That is a beautiful rifle and the exact sort of thing my post was about. Kudos to you!

    I looked up the weight of the Ruger #3's too and they really are too heavy for what I'd be looking for. Even the Martini Cadet weighs about 7lbs according to the interwebs. A superlight Rook rifle or similar may be up my alley someday... unless I find myself custom building one. The problem being I wouldn't want to spend more than $400-$500 for one. Some of the suggestions I saw are upwards of $1500!

    Well, if you are diligent (and lucky) you might find one like mine. I gave $85 for it 3 years ago...

    There's a Savage 219 22 Hornet here:

    One thought is to get a Yildiz .410 shotgun. It is a single shot and weighs about 3.3 pounds. The guns are pretty inexpensive too. Then you get a .22 Hornet Barrel insert for the shotgun. Now you are in business. Plus it likely weighs a little under four pounds too. There is another thread just below this one where they are discussing the Yildiz .410 shotgun and converting it to other calibers.

    I'll give you $86 for it and pay the shipping!

    Why can't I ever luck into a deal like that?

    I picked up an old BRNO ZBK-110 break action in .22 Hornet. It is a real featherweight.

    I saw one of those on Gunbroker the other day and was intrigued. Looks almost like a copy of a Savage 219. How does it shoot?
