Could it be Done: Mini Mauser in 9x19 - Page 2

Exactly, same a ton of money on a rebuild and use the very same rifle for practice.

Going to try two things:

1. Some old 125 Grain Sierra Pro Hunters I have on hand with reduced H4895 loads. Should shoot ok in the 7.62x39 and be around 1,300 fps or so.
2. Some 55 grain loads in the 223 with Trail Boss powder. I guess you can start at 4 grains and work up until the case is filled, stopping when you're pleased with the accuracy. That should be quite slow (1,100 fps) and quite quiet.

We'll see how it goes.

Looked, searched Mauser 98s in 9mm. Nothing. Got a link?

jackstrawIII · February 3, 2018, 07:39 AM

I looked for it too, unsuccessfully. Very interested in a link!

All I found was two Deystroyer carbines and a custom M98 in 9X57. i did find three .22 TCM rifles ready to be converted to 9mms.

First concern is bolt overtravel.
Second is modifying the mag well to take a 9mm magazine. For that I'd have to look at the Spanish Destroyer (why reinvent the wheel?).
Third, if the bolt travel is shortened, a new ejector will have to be devised.

I cannot find it anymore sadly. I found it before just by searching for Mauser 98 action. It had no bolt or anything just the action and it said in the description it was for a 9x19 build but it was never completed. Shes gone now boys.

Just load some up with the copper plated bullets from Extreme Bullets at a light load.

How about this:

What if you took a Destroyer Carbine (9x23) and set the barrel back 4mm to make the chamber 9x19?

Would it be that simple?

Scorch · February 5, 2018, 07:58 PM

Yes, pretty much, just set it back and re-cut the chamber. Or, even easier, make a 4mm chamber insert then recut the chamber. 9mm Parabellum case head is slightly larger than 9mm Largo head size.

No not quite as easy as setting the barrel back, the major problem is in feeding the short cartridge from the 9x23 magazine and the extractor that does not seem to be fond of the 9mm P case (probably varies rifle to rifle).
