FYI on mil-surp ammo ...

[carguy]

Like I said before...I wish I had the skills, knowledge, nerve and now "wallet" to build one of those!

WOW! :'(

I'm floored at the $500 you spent one piece that you only used part of it! :'( Forget all the other stuff you mentioned about milling, reaming, glassing, appendetures and harmonics tuners. And I'm still not sure how or why you needed to tune a harmonica to finish the rifle but if you say so...OKAY...they both look great and you have my admiration... :-* :-* :-*

Just to be clear ... I used all of the $500 piece ... it wasn't cheap, but now you understand why I was practically in tears when it didn't shoot worth crap!

The barrel harmonic tuner is actually pretty cool ... OK, you're pretty sure that I'm a geek, but to keep from proving it, I'll refrain from going into the explanation unless someone really wants to know

OK if you are a geek but remember one heck of an armed geek. :-*

That's not the rail gun that I know of...
From the wiki

The United States military is funding railgun experiments. At the University of Texas at Austin Institute for Advanced Technology, military railguns capable of delivering tungsten armor piercing bullets with kinetic energies of nine million joules have been developed [2]. Nine mega-joules is enough energy to deliver 2 kg of projectile at 3 km/s - at that velocity a tungsten or other dense metal rod could penetrate a tank.

+1 ... THOSE are the only rail guns that I'd heard of until someone called the stockless ones here that.
