I was just looking at an old Sportman's Guide catalog before tossing it in
the trash. One item that caught my eye was a .223 adaptor to use a 209
primer to launch a .22 caliber air gun pellet. What kind of energy is that
going to develop? What kind of muzzle velocity will that generate? It
might be a nice way to practice pulling the trigger and get some short range
target practice with your bolt action .223, although I would be hesitant to
use it in an auto.
The thing though is they advertise it for pest control. Seems to me for
short range even a pump air gun would be far more economical. As a kid I
killed a lot of gophers for the bounty with my Daisy 880. Spring piston
guns are so mush more powerful, and now with the gas spring guns on the
market for a few years you don't have to worry about leaving them ready to
flip the safety and fire killing the spring.
Not even considering the PCP guns. How does this 209 primer propelled .22
pellet compare to a pellet fired out of a pellet gun?

I don't have an answer to your question, but I noticed that you posted this=
question to rec.motorcycles and rec.crafts.metalworking. Did you happen to=
consider that you may get much more relevant answers if you posted this qu=
estion to groups such as rec.GUNS, alt.rec.GUNS or alt.GUNS? Just a thought=
. ;-)
BTW, I still have my Daisy 880 that I acquired as a kid; I wish that I had =
kept my Crosman 760 also.

It's not compatible with 2 or 4 stroke motorcycle engines.
