Thread: 9mm and rimfire bolt action

@xring just waiting for my leftie also.

AR stock parts are a great idea as they are plentiful and customisable etc Light also.
Having a 9mm that could be converted to 22 TCU with Glock mags would be awesome. 45 ACP would also be fantastic then 44 mag etc
I like the idea of 22 TCU as it's sort of a modern take on the 22 hornet.

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
MFG

You have designed your own action, why not make your own design stock. Perhaps a hollow tube not unlike a buffer tube that can hold a spare mag inside? Or a cleaning kit or survival kit etc.

Nice project. Seems wasted opportunity having a pistol mag and not having it inside the pistol grip?

I think a bolt action is worked faster with a traditional stock grip setup rather than a pistol grip, but pistol grips are...handy.

I'd definitely be keen on something like this and look at chambering into a .22TCM like Wingman has done on his thread.

Two things I could think of from your design is

1. Scope mounts, drill and tap for rings rather than how it is, possible picatinny rail system

2. Stock, it's a pistol caliber, perhaps it could fit into a 10/22 type stock, magpul etc which gives end users an array of options

Well done on pursuing this project.

hey guys, one more update. stock "almost" done. I say almost because I went on a different design, lighter and slimmer.
just missing the AR butt. barrel made by vulcan. really nice work done by john. stock will be black hard anodized.
yeah, i could put double stack glock mags in there.
also, will go with a thinner barrel and a full suppressor for weight savings.
seventenths, i am not sure going with bases or rail bcs it will add up in the end. recoil is like a 22LR. but man.. thanks for the headsup.
cheers

oh.. one of the versions i want to come out like this kind of tactical look (maybe):

If you are thinking of changing calibre...

You could get a 7.62x25 Tokarev chamber reamer and re-purpose a .303 barrel. Powerful, flat shooter which will go in many 9x19mm mags and requires no modifications to bolt or extractor. Cases can be made from .223 brass if a shortage hits (as can 9x19mm), and they'll go in .223 stripper clips of course.

The 7.62 Tokarev was 25% more powerful than its 7.63 Mauser parent cartridge, which already was the highest velocity handgun cartridge pre .357 Mag's appearance in the mid-1930s.

OK , its ORSOME looking , and I want one , I would like the mag well to extend more to support a Glock type mag , down to the bottom of the trigger guard if possible , I would keep the barrel profile still quite heavy ( maybe not quite as bull as in pics , but still heavy ) , as it allows the buyer to thin down to his choice in length & muzzle/thread dia etc , cant put meat back on a thin barrel/muzzle etc .

RE the 22TCU , maybe Not a good choice for a rear locking receiver ?

Again , well done , Fanastic Job

You might have seen this but this crowd make a similar rifle to what your trying to achieve but it's chambered in .22 TCM with pistol mags in either 5 or 17 shot.

hey guys, sorry for not responding earlier. i was overseas and i just hate typing on a mobile phone.
about the glock mags, problem there is that the mag well to accept it will be increased somewhat and
not leaving a reasonable meat on the bottom the action. ruger pc has it, but they are squarish and wider.
definitely it needs a suppressor and the way the rifle is designed, i cant go shorter than 14" with the barrel. thinking also putting on
a savage type nut to for the barrel, so anyone with a little knowledge and a 32mm wrench/vise can swap barrels.
seventenths, yes, seen it. cool and really cheap. not sure how much it would reach here for tho.
i will show you guys another idea i had these days too, if there's someone interested.
cheers chrisf.
rifle is gonna be like in the render below.
cheers

I think I want one too...

Any chance of a pic or link to that folding rifle @timattalon ? Seems like it could work nicely with xring's design or a future build.

canross, good tip, but problem I see there is that it will be shorter than 762mm when folded. I am right on the money on this dimension now. correct if I am wrong. cheers

The folding rifles are essentially based on a shot gun action. One example would be the Baikal IZH18 in various calibres, but there are much better quality versions that are similar. @xring the folders are not affected by the min length rule as the action is unable to fire in the folded position as it is open. Same as a removable barrel situation. It cannot be fired if in a "taken down" position as folding it or breaking it down / removing the barrel renders it inoperable until reassembled or closed.

Yours looks amazing and I have to say "well done".
