What's the future of surplus 7.62X25 ammo?
I bet there are vast quantities of it. It can't be disappearing very quickly - the only firearm that shoots it is the TT33 to my knowledge. The TT33 is common here in Canada but not in US anymore and I don't think the surplus is allowed for sale in US anymore either. So that leaves us Canadians with access to a cheap and abundant round for a creative canadian supplier to base a new Destroyer Carbine around. An extremely short 12" plus barrel would be awesome, with OAL just over 26". From what I've read there's no point having a longer barrel from a ballistics standpoint (muzzle energy for this round is fully transferred to bullet in short barrels). I think a rifle like this would be a definite hit. You can put whatever mag on it you want - I would definitely buy one
(or two).
