Crossno liner question.

Print Post  
To those of you that use a Crossno liner, I have a few questions. Please look at the picture and see if I have it installed correctly, it seems to be the only way it will go. Also in order to turn the liner you would have to block the guns extractor and limit the lever travel--or remove the extractor.
A few more observations and questions on the same.
1. the dummy 22 rounds I have fit tight and have to be pushed in, and yes I know it has a whatever chamber,but upon removing the dummy I see it has engraved the rifling on the bullet for almost the entire length of the bullet. Without the bullet the dummy case is loose in the chamber.
2. The rim of the 22 seems to be almost totally unsupported and in order to remove the case you have to dig it out, there is no slot to get the screwdriver under the rim, aside from the obvious milled/ground out area.
3. The 45-70 case seems to be loose in the rifle chamber. This I could fix by using shim stock around the rear of the case.
These are observations as I have no experience with the liner and may be normal for the liner. I just need some one who uses one to correct me.

Thanks, Bob

Chamber sounds like a Lilja, bullet totally engraved by rifling. May be a little hard to load in a roller because it was designed for a bolt gun.
The proper extractor should extract the cartridge after firing, may not pull an unfired round out.

Thanks-John
I don't think we are on the same page. The liner is a Crossno .22 and installed in a sharps. The chamber is a bentz (probably spelled wrong) and I thought the chamber would be tight on an empty case-It isn't. The only reason it is tight on a complete round is because the bullet is entering the rifling for it's entire length. I am making assumptions here, that is why the questions. The 22 case is extracted by a small screwdriver that comes with the kit-the large extractor cut was in the 45-70 case is used as the carrier for the .22 barrel/liner so the centerfire pin sets off the rimfire cartridge, and it does set off empty(powderless) .22 cases.

Hey Bob;
Did a set of instructions come with the liner?  If not, PM me and I will provide a set for you.  It will answer most if not all of your questions.

Yup, incorrectly installed. Rotate the insert so the cut is at the 12 o-clock position. The fired case can then be removed with the screwdriver inserted from above.

If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

When you extract a fired case from a Crossno liner is there generally a bulge in the case where it unsupported?

Thanks all for the answers--I talked to Dave and Yes it is wrong. So much for logic. I tried the right way as stated in the instructions but the 45-70 case would not go in all the way, and now I know why.

SSShooter--Interesting-and informative, that is the kind of real world information I was after.

STRATCOR,

Who made your rifle? The breech does not look like my C. Sharps rifles. Is that a percussion hammer relief cut on the outside of the action on the right side?

It is an I.A.B. 1874 Sharps--probably made in the 80's

There will be no bulging of cases with the liner, the case is fully supported. The notch used to extract the case is on the rim, not in the chamber.
