Why doesn't anyone make a small action bolt or straight pull rifle in some of the pistol calibers like .32 ACP, 9x19mm, or 5.7x28mm? Yes, I know .22 Hornet exists, but it's relatively long and rimmed, and I like the idea of having a double stack flush fit or low profile magazine that you could get with rimless cartridges, and the low cost and low recoil of these rounds would put it in the same region of plinking fun as a regular .22, just with more punch.
Because PCCs exist and you’d be the only one buying that dogshit like most of the other shitty concepts that come from here
>DAE WHY DOESNT ANYONE MAKE REPLICA GUNS FROM WORLD WAR11? I THINK THERE WOULD BE A MARKET 4 IT, I WOUOD BY THR GUN. IT WOULD BE EASIER WITH MODERN MANUFACTURING
Eternal summer and thirdies with internet access have degraded this site.
Tbf has anyone built anything that wasn’t shittier than the original? It seems like every reproduction is often poor quality.
Yes, Pistol calibur carbines are basically what OP wants to exist. You can get a lever action rifle in 357 magnum, and load it with 38 special rounds too.
1.) .17hmr exists
2.) bolt guns in 9mm exists
3.) there is a reason nobody makes carbines in .32
4.) there is a reason why everyone makes guns chambered in .22lr
5.) OP is a homosexual
you used to be able to get a .32 ACP chamber insert for the moist nugget, and if you used a 91/30 garbage rod the thing sounded like an air gun.
MP7 in 5.7
>PCCs
Can't have them in my country, and I like the aesthetics of small bolt actions with wood furniture.
Newsflash firearm companies aren’t coming out with designs to appease your shitty laws for your market of six other guys
>burger knows nothing about other countries
Never heard of Adler?
That aside, it's not hard for a company to take an existing bolt action and chamber it for something else.
It’s not, but there’s no purpose. Only companies appeasing your bullshit laws are cheap turkshit companies, like Adler, trying to make a quick buck before your draconian government inevitably cracks down even more. No actual respected western manufacturer is going to make some bullshit that only six guys in Australia end up buying.
>australia is the only other country in the world outside of america that buys guns
Flawless logic. What is it you find so offensive about the concept of a bolt action rifle chambered for pistol cartridges?
I just assumed you were an Aussie because you mentioned Adler. Nothing offensive about it, it’s just dumb and you’re dumb for thinking it’s a good idea. If there was market for it there’d already be multiple companies making models.
Because as you've been repeatedly told, there isn't a worthwhile market for it. The wood furniture and pistol caliber rifle market is dominated by lever actions.
I have seen 9mm Mosin conversions here in Finland. You'd probably be better off paying a gunsmith to further bubba a sporter rifle of some sort
>No actual respected western manufacturer is going to make some bullshit that only six guys in Australia end up buying.
As an Aussie I completely understand this but it always hurts. The few that major western companies did make for us (Ruger Model 96, CZ 515) went down really well, but at the end of the day while the number of gun owners in Australia is growing we’re still an incredibly tiny market compared to the US and America so there’s not much point for major companies to make dedicated models for countries with laws like ours
I reckon that with the acceptance of lever/button release rifles and shotguns, we might see a trickle of converted semi-autos that use that kind of system to make them legal for sale here.
How long that will last against pressure from the rabid anti-gun crowd is anyone's guess, but it'd be nice if we could get some converted PCCs here at least.
>I'd also like to see semiauto pistols which can handle rifle pressures, like 55,000psi, and a .25 caliber pistol round developed from a strengthened 5.7 case. Think a .30 SC, but with 800 more fps.
Isn't there that BRNO FK pistol that has a 7.5mm cartridge with ridiculous case pressures and velocity?
Either way, it'd be cool if some manufacturer could be bothered to 'update' .32 ACP with a fully rimless design, slightly longer case, and higher case pressures, so rifles and pistols could potentially run this hotter .32 while also being backwards compatible with .32 ACP.
>we might see a trickle of converted semi-autos that use that kind of system to make them legal for sale here
I hope so, I’m a bolt-action gay through and through but those new push-button Chimera .223s that take AR mags will be interesting because if they don’t crack down on them then a lot of people will take it as open season to make their own
>it'd be nice if we could get some converted PCCs here at least
Given Cleaver’s is already importing those Tombstone lever action 9mm’s I’d be surprised if someone wasn’t already working on something like that too, so hopefully we won’t have to wait too long anon
just buy a lever action. You can get them in .38 special and they aren't for homosexuals, like bolts and ~~*straight pulls*~~ are
>Why doesn't anyone make a small action bolt or straight pull rifle in some of the pistol calibers like .32 ACP, 9x19mm, or 5.7x28mm?
Because what is the point in shooting something that has no recoil at nearly the same price as something fun like .44mag or 7.62x54 like 5.7 is? Just shoot 22lr and save 80% on ammo cost.
Full size 32, 25, and 380 handguns that aren't hi point tier pot metal abominations or weird one-off 8 grand euro made target guns
I wish Colt updated the 1903 Pocket Hammer to use the same action as the 1911, it would have been the Glock 19 to the 1911's Glock 17
M1 Garand clone in .22LR. This is a holdover from the Kel-Tec R&D threads.
The rifle would be the same exterior dimensions and appearance as a normal M1 Garand, but be loaded through the top by 10 round Ruger 10/22 magazines instead of en-bloc clips.
Loads and ejects through the top just like a real M1. Also must make a metallic ping sound when the magazine is ejected.
It should be made of steel and walnut. Threaded barrel too, because why not?
Then you'd need some speaker playing the ping sound. A plastic body mag getting launched out of the gun will just make a thud when it hits the ground.
Nah Kel-Tec would find a way to make some kind of mechanical ping sound.
10/22 magazines are ubiquitous. Enbloc clips may not work well with tiny rimmed .22LR cartridges. Loading through and puking the mag out the top is the whole point. Loading mags through the bottom? Someone can just make a shitty 10/22 cOnVeRsIoN kit/stock to achieve that.
The ping sound is the resonance value? of bent sheet metal vibrating as it shoots out of the gun like what you get with a tuning fork. You'd have an easier time routing some gas into a slide whistle.
easy solution. cause its .22 it could just be straight blow back, so where the gas system normally is? throw a tuning fork in there
Tuning fork is what I was thinking. The tricky part is making it sound only when the magazine is ejected.
Just use a bell

>but be loaded through the top by 10 round Ruger 10/22 magazines instead of en-bloc clips.
>Loads and ejects through the top just like a real M1. Also must make a metallic ping sound when the magazine is ejected.
Honestly why not use enblocs? They need to be scaled down or have some sleeve holding the rounds inside but you could make it work. It’s like 5 cents of sheet metal. Using 10/22 mags only makes sense if it loads from the bottom and you can use 25 rounders too
Honestly, since PSA unveiled their Battlefield line for modernized lookalikes (comparable to what the Ruger Blackhawk is to the Single Action Army rather than being true reproductions) and considering how ammo prices are never going to return to what they were pre 2020 with the cheapest .223 costing now what .308 used to and .30-06 now costing over a dollar per round outside of the dwindling supply of surplus (while new production .30-06 loaded to be used in a Garand without buying an adjustable gas plug used to be available at just over 60c/round shipped in 2019). I think it would be neat if they made a scaled down Garand in .223, and I think it would sell quite well between the novelty without the downsides of an original Garand, the ban state appeal, and the potential for it to be a practical sleek lightweight hunting/varmint rifle if they threw in some modern weight trimming as well.
I'm pretty sure there's a company that does this. You pay out the ass for it though.
Is almost like you've never lived through previous ammo shortages and dem presidencies. I'm just old enough to remember people talking about the Clinton awb shortage and remember the boomer 22lr apocalypse during tge obongo years (still don't understand that one)
Anon, no previous shortage has been this bad, and the only reason .22lr prices dropped off like they did under Trump was because ammo demand dropped off significantly, forcing manufacturers to try to profit by moving more ammo at lower margins. Federal, CCI, and Remington have gone on record that they're planning on keeping manufacturing capacity at a level to avoid having a repeat of that situation. Not to mention that the Russian steel cased ammo that was the bottom of the rifle ammo market is going away and other companies really aren't filling the gap like people said they would.
Why not just make a modified stock/handguard for a Mini 14?
>why not just make a modified stock and handguard to dress up a gun that takes detachable box magazines like a Garand?
You sound like a massive homosexual.
I have a far nuttier wish than that. I want Ruger to make a Mini Garand, about the size of a Mini-14. You could call it the Mini-M1, or maybe the M1N1 if you want to be really obscure and stupid about stylizing the name.
Anyway, it'd essentially just be a smaller M1 chambered in 5.56/.223 that feeds from downsized en-bloc clips. Given the size you could maybe shove an extra couple rounds in these clips, say 10 versus the more traditional 8 (actually I recall some were chambered in .308 and held 10, something only the Navy used and was only ever used in combat in Korea). I think the tinier ping would be fun.
Pair it with one of those compact 1911s (can be chambered in .380, Browning's caliber for winning half a world war) and a severely SBRed AO Thompson carbine thing and you're all set for a tiny world war.
>Mini garland
Honestly I think that would sell well as long as they aren't crazy priced. Be a great fun gun and not even a bad ban state choice with a low profile red dot mount and ability to add a light mount at 3/9
>Pair it with one of those compact 1911s

10mm lever action
>b-but it's an "Auto" round

Pump action rifle in .25 ACP. Or a gill gun in .25 ACP. Probably tube mag. Or a lever action in .25 ACP with a loading gate. But that would require non-dogshit availability of .25 ACP and a decent selection of loads. I want it to hunt small game. No, I don't have any good reason.
Based, personally I see a small niche for an update on .25 and .32 ACP to make them fully rimless and work at modern high pressures. Make the case on both 1-2mm longer and call them .25/.32 Automag or something.
Something like a wondernine, but in 7.62x25. Or a more modern double stack, full size pistol in that caliber.

I am no gunsmith, and just had an idea, and could make it on photoshop
Why leave the AK sights?
Why have the AR sights when you still use an AK stock? Are you going to chin weld it to peek over the carry handle?
>the fore grip needs a redesign to make field mainenance easier, and the muzzle break to help with recoil.
The gas tube is literally already exposed and it doesnt have a muzzle break.
Also why would a 5.56 out of a 16 inch barrel need a muzzle break?
All that recoil is from the bolt reciprocating.
>.32 ACP
Really doesn't bring anything new to the table and costs about as much to reload for as you can buy .22 magnum for last I checked.
>9x19mm
Because Armscor hates money. They sell a bolt action specifically designed for their .22 TCM (.38 super necked down to .22, about .1" longer than 9mm) that people buy and do 9mm barrel swaps on since the bolt head and magazines are already compatible. At least one company has been in the business of buying from Armscor to barrel swap and sell as well.
>5.7x28mm
IIRC Savage offers one, or at least used to. I'm pretty sure it was in the same action they offered .22 hornet in.
Pic related is the Armscor gun I'm talking about.
Does anyone silence that 9mm bolt action? Not sure why but now I'm curious about doing that. Though at some point you might as well just get a homesteader or something considering the trouble/extra money for what I'd use it for. Would gain a bunch of volume in action noise though.
>Does anyone silence that 9mm bolt action?

combo gun in 12ga/5.56
Look up older Baikal guns. They used to sell various combo guns and double rifles in the US before they got fricked by sanctions after Russia first invaded Ukraine about a decade ago.
will do anon, I'm surprised no one in the American market has made a "survival gun" in the two most common calibers in the continent
Because most people concerned with a "survival gun" are also concerned with ammo weight and focus on taking small game, so most options focus on combinations like .22lr/.410.
I've noticed that, however. 410 is essentially a dead caliber in many areas and even .410 slugs aren't the greatest option if you have a bear or something fricking with your day. I'd argue a 12ga/5.56 is a better choice because it leaves you with much more versatility out of both barrels. also you aren't going to carrying a full combat load worth of ammo so weight saving isn't as much of an issue as people believe
Largest bear ever killed was done in with a .22
and I bet I could gas your mom to death with my farts, but it's not the optimal choice
>also you aren't going to carrying a full combat load worth of ammo so weight saving isn't as much of an issue as people believe
Anon, .223 weighs about 3.7x as much as .22lr and 12 gauge weighs about 14.2x as much. A box of 50 rounds of .22lr weighs slightly less than 4 12 gauge shells or 14 rounds of .223. That's a pretty massive difference.
so if you're not going shooting and only have the firearm for emergency use scenario how many rounds would you bring? I'd bring 20 rounds of 5.56 and maybe a dozen assorted 12ga. is that a lot of weight to you?
>is that a lot of weight to you?
When you consider that most people concerned with this are carrying much more than just a gun and ammo, yeah.
I get your point but I'd still rather have a firearm I feel confident for bear protection as well as short term survival hunting. 12ga and 5.56 cover your bases from bird hunting to deer hunting to bear defense, all while being extremely common calibers
they make 12g/.22lr why not step up that .22 to a 5.56?
>bear protection
Your reminder that handguns are objectively the better choice for this so long as you actually practice. Even 9mm is more than enough given proper ammo choice, and the speed that you can get on target with a handgun massively outweighs any advantage that a long gun could bring to the table given the reality of how quickly encounters play out.
There's one floating around out there. I have seen a 12ga over .223 before. Not quite your 5.56 but damn close.
All Yuro proofed .223 guns are 5.56 capable because of CIP regulations. The distinction is only relevant when you are talking SAAMI spec.
>Why doesn't anyone make a small action bolt or straight pull rifle in some of the pistol calibers like .32 ACP, 9x19mm, or 5.7x28mm?
With how easy it is to make a straight blowback rifle in these calibers, it's easier to make a non-locking action than a locking action (e.g. bolt action). You can buy a lightweight 9mm PCC for less than a boltgun. Closest you will get is a Howa or Anschutz micro action, then rebarrel to .221 Fireball, that's roughly ahead of 5.7x28.
there was that Spanish bolt-action PCC from the Spanish civil war in 9mm Largo. Always thought those were neat, might fit the criteria
I know there's problems designing one, but I'd kill for a lever action 22lr with a fricking side gate load.
The predominant system is annoying as frick, especially since suppressing one means you can't reload until you remove the suppressor.
I want my affordable stealth cowboy build dammit!
Or just have it load like a Henry.
That's how Henry lever action 22s load.
You pull out the spring from the front of the tube and put it in the little cutout or take it all the way out and load from the top.
That's what I mean by having to take the suppressor off when reloading.
The old henrys.
Ah, right.
You mean the kind that rotated the cover?
>I know there's problems designing one, but I'd kill for a lever action 22lr with a fricking side gate load.
No anon, there's no possible way to do that, don't you know? It's just totally impossible. There's no way to do it. Muh .22 crimp. No way. Nuh-uh. Just impossible to manufacture. EIGHTEEN EIGHTY FRICKING SEVEN BTW.
Well, don't just blue ball me anon, what is it?
Colt Lightning. AFAIK the only fricking loading gate .22 short/long/long rifle in existence. Frick modern manufacturers (and moronic anons sucking their dick) hemming and hawing about "buh buh buh buh .22 can't work in loading gates". I like tube mags, even the ones with the pull out the front insert with a follower. But a loading gate .22lr would be way nicer. I'm with you; I'd love a lever action .22lr to suppress.
That sounds like it'd be wonderful.
Fricking sucks it looks like it's out of production even from reproduction companies.
The worst part about it is IIRC there's repros of the other models of Colt lightning. Just not the .22 with side loading gate that I want. Also checked.

You’re just playing semantics, everyone knows what it means given the context.
If it works for Magnum Research, it'll probably work for Glock. A Glock brand Deagle might be neato.
(C)OAL = (Cartridge) Overall Length - the main problem in this case being that .357 Magnum is significantly longer than any current Glock frame can accomodate.
Just get Glock to buy Coonan's IP, and have them make picrel in .357 Magnum.
The Deagle in .357 is a waste of material.
>The Deagle in .357 is a waste of material.
The Deagle in .357, with it's heavy weight and fixed barrel, is an excellent target pistol with light recoil. A pipe dream of mine is to remove the locking lugs on a spare .357 bolt/barrel, so I can shoot .38 Special wadcutters in one, that would have near zero recoil.
You could just load .357 with WCs and a light charge my dude. There's nothing magical about the brass.

I'd like a hunting carbine in .32 ACP so I could have a quiet coon rifle that hits harder than .22LR standard velocity but is about as loud. I shoot a few coons a week, always at night. .22LR works great when I have a clear shot, but when a coon is up in a tree you often only have a gut or rump shot. In these cases with quieter .22 ammo it can sometimes take 4 or 5 rounds to knock them down. A .32 ACP carbine loaded with heavy for caliber bullets would be perfect. Lever, semi, bolt - as long as it's accurate I wouldn't care.
I'd also like to see semiauto pistols which can handle rifle pressures, like 55,000psi, and a .25 caliber pistol round developed from a strengthened 5.7 case. Think a .30 SC, but with 800 more fps.
I wish all shotguns were made with elongated forcing cones and tapered bore diameters, kind of like Beretta's Steelium and Steelium Plus barrels. Overbore should be the standard, especially for 3 1/2" 12ga guns.
Lastly, I want someone to make the dual-lug Krag-Jorgensen design that they patented but never produced. A new made line of fine hunting Krags in modern calibers with modern steel would be amazing.
that idea of a little .32 hunting carbine was super popular at the turn of the 1900s, you see a lot of small single shot takedown rifles in .32 rimfire from that era
I honestly would like a bolt action PCC, one that I can swap out barrels and bolt heads, and feeding from 1911 mags (DE mags for magnum).
After I've seen Rogue Male, I've decided that having a larger caliber takedown rifle would be a good idea. However all I've found on "new takedown rifles" are with custom works or le soorvaival guns in .22. Guess, people are more fond of scout rifles than takedown guns today.
I want a mass-produced classic bolt action takedown rifle meant for medium and large game, chambered in calibers from 6.5 (Swedish Mauser, Mannlicher, Cringemore) up to .318WR or something like that, which would come with open sights as well as with the drilled spot for scope
