Thread: 9mm and rimfire bolt action

It looks ORSOME , you know what I mean , just allow a little room in curtain areas , so you have room to say maybe offer different cals & mags etc , so its not a total redesign , if you decide to say go 10mm & use glock mags etc , so allow a little bit of meat in most areas .
It looks like you are attaching the mag well direct to the action , this is good , as it keeps the mag catch length more exact/precise , just allow enough room for the action/stock screws not to be too close & foul the action .

awesome guys. thanks for all replies. i am thinking initially making 9mm round as it's the cheapest CF available, followed by 45ACP, 38 super, 40 and 10mm (and their variants) as they are rimmed and use "same" mags. rimless coming second, like 357, 44, etc... let's see how things go. probably I know the answer but would it be nicer to offer the complete rifle or let customers choose barrels, mags, stocks?
again, any info/critics will be recorded.
regards

that's another project: 9mm repeater using 1911 mags, mag holder is 3D printed and bolt similar to my other projects, a version of the Rem 40-X rimfire.
Stock to be fitted is aluminum 6061 and threaded for ar15 adjustable buffer tube and ar grip (SW image attached). i can post it as soon as I get it machined (not by me ).

okay - where do I line up to buy one of these?

Ditto.

why are single break open rifles not in more rimmed cartridges???
Im sure given modern loading practises and a faster twist barrel the old .32/20 would be a capable round
the .22hp savage is another that just screams for a comeback...with a .224 barrel in say a 8-9 twist rate it would do what the older version did with modern projectiles.
its neat to see you guys making rifles that are unique and not just plastic spastic mass produced jobs.
.45 long colt is a capable round as it is even in cowboy load levels....it also has limited options to purchase.

i really want the rifle to be like this image below, with a few more details/features, specially on the stock:



so i could change out the front of the stock and have something like this:

what do you guys reckon? what would you guys change? please, i am still learning a lot about it and any input is appreciated

MFG

Cheek riser, higher rings, integrated suppressor and oh shit you've made a De Lisle

(That is a good thing)

Thumbscrew/s attachment for the stock, make it easy to take down.

I have brass for a .375 Winchester I am not sure I will find a rifle chambered so easily

I would look for it being a handy/small trim little rifle , would forget the target super wide forend , and ditch the AR15 bits if possible , never really understood the need to have a AR buffer tube stock on a bolt action rifle , just seems a cheap bad way of stocking a bolt gun .
A quick detach or folding stock option , and short threaded barrel for can , and a good thread size say 5/8 & not 1/2 inche .
Also would really look at Glock mags , as they are cheap & plentiful , and interchangeable with the new Ruger 9mm carbine .

Ok, so where is my 9mm rifle ? @xring

Pm me the $.....

I saw an interesting folding stock the other day (or at least a picture of one.) When folded the pointy end of the barrel was protected by the bottom of the butt as in the stock folded so that the barrel went into a hollow in the stock, and the trigger was covered on both sides by a piece of the forestock that slid back over it (Think like a pump action forestock but on a different action) that had to move before you could fold the stock. This protected the muzzle and stopped it from being usable when in the folded position. Very clever design but bloody dear.

+1 for Glock mag compatible

coo guys.. awesome! really good tips over here. great to read that!
i gotta give the glocks mags a study and how I can fit it in to the action (mag well).
uuhhh ar15 butts stocks.... i also have the see other option other than these.
if any of you has other ideas, please, keep shooting. i will consider every each one of them.
cheers
