9mm Bolt Action? - Page 2

How 'bout an M1 Carbine rechambered and barreled to .45 WinMag?

There's two kinds of people that handload, get in to it and stay in to it:

--the folks who need it for a means to an end, get annoyed with the repetitive and laborius nature of it but can still crank it out because it's necessary

--the folks who quickly find a genuine passion for it and realize that it becomes a hobby nearly as (or more) rewarding than shooting.

You oughta try it. It simply does NOT have to cost a fortune.

The 64 Dollar Question.
Anyone remember what brought on the demise of Marlins Camp 9 & 45 acp models?

I would like to see one in a levergun myself could be fun.

It's been done.
It reportedly shot fine with the WW factory load with 230 gr FMJ, but if you read between the lines a little, it had a very narrow working area between hot enough to function the action and hot enough to "energetically disassemble" the action.

If a single shot is enough fun, Ed Harris did a good deal of work with rook rifles built up or adapted for .32 and .38.

Yeah, I knew the guy behind it. Don't know what became of him.

I know it's not a bolt gun, but my Kel-Tec Sub-2000 with a cheap Walmart red dot will tear up a C-Rations can at 100 yds. And it takes the same mags as my Glock! Put a 2X on it and I bet it will do 150 easy. Shooting crap ammo. Add some good +P and it'll get the job done. It folds in half to go in a bugout bag...... Get some 30 rd sticks and have a blast. If you had to, you could feed your family with it. At 25 yds we EASILY held 10 round groups to 1.5" without pausing between shots. Light recoil makes it a pleasure for women and kids too.

Ruger's 77/357 is a bolt action .357 mag that can generally fire .38 special.

That's pretty close, but a little expensive.

Found these folks with a short search:

Click on "Novem 9mm" on the left menu. New actions, converted
to 9mm.

Browse through some of their other offerings--I WANT!!!!

+1 to jeeperman I also have the kelt tec sub 2000 gen 2 and its a heckuva little 9mm carbine...very accurate at 50 yds and out to 100..goes bang every time with whatever you feed it.

hbhobby · September 25, 2015, 09:22 AM

I would thin a handy rifle would be a fairly easy one to modify to shoot 9mm

Model12Win · September 25, 2015, 08:14 PM

The Novem 9mm looks cool, but by the time you buy the normal rifle and have it converted, it'd cost most of a grand.

Yeah, when that's available, it's pretty hard to justify going to a lot of trouble just to make something the same except "slightly less powerful" - .38 special is dirt cheap.

I like it Model12, would be a great little camp gun!

I have a 77/357. Great rifle.

With a longer barrel it helps to have a longer cartridge with more powder capacity.

Not my largest deer but good eatin'

Nice rifle Steve,
I wish they still offered it in blue and walnut, like my old 77/22.
