pistol caliber rifle pics

[justjim75]

i would like to see everybodies pistol caliber rifles. semi auto, lever, bolt action etc. i am soon to be purchasing a 9mm or .357 and want ideas.
thanks ya'll,
JJ

[shrewd]

i dont have any pics handy but i have a marlin 1894c, 16 inch (maybe 18?) lever action .357 that is a hoot to shoot, and very handy. i love the thing, its so sturdy and just feels good in my hands.

i'll never part with it.

you can shoot a good bit of 38 special through it on the cheap, though i almost always end up using the 38s in my revolver because i prefer the kick of the 357 through the rifle. i have .22s for cheap plinking anyway, and thats exactly what a 38 special feels like through the marlin.


i reccomend you buy one, if you find one. if you don't like it, ill take it off your hands :)

The rifle on top is a H&R Handi-Rifle in .357 Magnum,,,
It's my Army-Dillo-Killah.

The rifle on the bottom is a H&R Sportster in .22 LR,,,
It's my "need to relax and unwind a bit" rifle.

Both are break-open single shots,,,
Both have more inherent accuracy than I can utilize.

thanks for those pics, i hadn't thought of single shots. nice guns! i love the thought of a handgun and rifle that take the same ammo. maybe a lever gun and single action revolver? how about a semi auto that takes matching magazines to the pistol?

[twobit]

Don't forget the obvious .... the 22 rifle !

Other than those I have a model 1892 Winchester in 44-40 (made in 1895) that was my great grandfather's,

and a new Kel Tec sub 2000 in .40 S&W.

[justjim75]

the sub 2000 in 9mm is on my list. with beretta 92 magazines.

[g.willikers]

Check out the Ruger PC9 and Marlin Camp 9 carbines.
Both use high capacity pistol mags.
Unfortunately, both are long out of production, but they pop up kind of regularly on the web gun auctions.

I have one of the Camp 9s, I like it alot. I dont really have a use for it, but its a fun and surprisingly accurate rifle. My 13 year old daughter has adopted it, a good step up from her .22.

I love my Ruger PC9... no photos of it yet, working on it

Here's a bolt-action pistol caliber rifle from Ruger. This one is a .44 Magnum but I believe they are now made in .357 Magnum as well -

[justjim75]

do you hunt with it? what distance is it effective to? nice looking gun!

[dmazur]

Yes, I got it for hunting blacktail in western Washington. As you may know, this half of the state is comprised of brush, and more brush.

I understand the .44 Magnum in a carbine can give mv's of 1800 fps or a little more and this is effective to 100 yds, easily. I'm using Speer 240gr JSP's.

It's hard to find a clear shot longer than that, so I may never find out if 100 yds is a hard limit.

I haven't got a deer with this rifle, yet, but I have read of others who have had good results.

What I can attest to is that this rifle doesn't mind getting wet... :)

Marlin 1894C and an IMI Timber Wolf. (no pics)

[safe cracker]

does this count...:)

[bamaranger]

Sorry, but here's some descriptions. I've got 3.

One is an early (pre safety) Marlin 1894 in .357. It has a Williams peep fitted, and I had a set of swivel studs put on as well. I pulled the white line butt spacer off PDQ. I tweaked the front bead by filing an angle on the rounded face facing the shooter. I have likely fired this little carbine more than any other rifle in my armory, excluding my .22's. It is not much more trouble afield than a walking stick, hits harder and farther than my handguns and is one of my favorites. Currently zeroed "on" at 100 with full power 158 JHP and will likely keep it that way now. I don't have notes on it, but 4-6 MOA seems about right at 100 with the peep. Previously I've shot it quite a bit with .38 WC (single feed), 125 gr JHP mags, and 110 JHP +p+ .38 spl, and a .357 158 SWC midrange load. Bought the little rifle new when Marlin announced the safety feature back in the early 80's and have never regretted it. Never have killed a deer with it, but lots of pests, cans, fence posts etc.

The second is a late production Ruger .44 carbine, the tube feed model. It wears a USA vintage Redfield 2-3/4 power widefield and swivel studs as well. It is zeroed "on" at 100, and shoots best with 200 gr Hornady JHP.
With that it gives 3-4 MOA and the slug is sufficient for deer in my area. I have not had any luck getting an acceptable group with the std 240 gr heavy bullets in this Ruger Carbine or its double below.

The last is another Ruger .44 tube model, this an early one with walnut stock. I bought it as a parts rifle, with cracked & poorly re varnished stock, and some feed issues, but some home gunsmithing got it running and looking good. I put swivel studs on it as well, and fitted a set of XS ghost ring sights, front and rear. It is set up as a SD carbine w/ a butt cuff for 9 rds spare ammo and is currently in the pickup. It shoots the 180 Hornady JHP and when my supply of those is shot up, I will likely go to 200's to simplify production. The 180's are frangible at carbine velocity and the 200's hold together better. This Ruger would not shoot the std 240 and up .44 bullets either. Well, not into groups smaller than a pie plate at 100 anyhow.

The .44's have both taken deer, the scoped one the most. Including a legal "double" one day in AR in the Ouachitas. The 240 gr slugs have always passed through deer, but as before, accuracy was terrible. The 180-200 make the carbines much more accurate and effective, but I have not had a "light" bullet exit on deer. Wounds are dramatic and expansion noteable. The recovered slugs are classic mushrooms and measure .60+.

The .44's cost much more to shoot and are SD and hunting carbines only.

Technically my IBM M1 carbine is a rifle with a "handgun round"



Ruger makes the blackhawk in .30 carbine. My girlfriend's dad has one and that somebeach barks when you shoot it. Loudest handgun I've ever shot.

Then why are you planning on getting a 9mm or .357? Find a nice Marlin Camp 45 or a Kriss to get your PCC fix.....;)

Bottom is a 16" 336 marlin 30-30 with a 1-3 Weaver variable.

[justjim75]

the 9mm would be cheap on ammo. lower recoil for the wife. i have and regularly shoot, a .45 pistol. .357 is just bad a$$. will the leverguns feed .38 spl? i will probably get one of each. maybe a sub2000 and a marlin leveraction in .357? what model would that be?

Here's one of mine, .45acp

[gearchecker]

My Thompson is a semi-auto. I just didn't have the extra $15,000 in my account to cover a full auto model. lol

My gunsmith keeps asking me when I'm going to buy my 1st full auto. I'll probably need to buy my wife a new car first.

AMP44, I like your Tommy too. There is such a high level of "Cool factor" with them. It's really clean. Do you know when your's was built? With the bolt handle that's on it, it looks to be one of the earlier models similar to mine.

Regards,
Gearchecker

[44 AMP]

When it was built, I bought it used from a local shop, and for a long time thought it was one of the Kahr guns, because the manual that came with it said Kahr Arms.

However, after careful scrutiny one day, I noticed that the gun doesn't say kahr on it any where. It is an Auto Ordnance gun.

I bought it before 2004, but don't recall exactly when, a couple of years, I think. After the passing of the AWB, I got the 50rnd drum (for an outrageous IMHO price). have only used the drum 3 times, and so far, it hasn't worked well. Stick mags work flawlessly.

My gun feeds FMJ, JHP, LRN, and LSWC, everything I have put in it so far. And it is accurate! One hole 5 shot rip at 25yds, and with the ladder sight, I can ring the 200yd gong! Even with the long, spongey heavy tgrigger pull.

Sadly, from what I have heard from other 1927A owners, this isn't always the case.

Have had only one bit of trouble with mine, the extractor broke on 3rd stick I shot. Got a replacement (actually got two), and haven't had any further problems.

I'd prefer the classic 11.5" barrel, but don't want to hassle with SBR registration, so I just consider mine the "express" version, longer barrel, more thwop!:D
