Does any NR rifle or carbine options exist for 7.62x25?

There are lots of firearms in x25. Most of them prohibited in Canada due to multiple shots per trigger pull. no new production carbines or rifles exist either. Well some one will come along and say, not true there is some in the states or Europe. maybe so, but there is none in Canada. Your best bet is buying a new receiver of suitable strength and building a rifle yourself.
I can see the appeal of the idea though, with lots of cheap surplus ammo around. Would be a fun plinker.
Pioneer Arms Corp in Poland made a new reproduction PPS43 in 7.62x25, but it was deemed prohibited due to ease of conversion. Tactical Imports couldn't really get PAC to make changes to accommodate the Canadian Market.

These guys will get you partway there. All you'd need is the right barrel and away you go.

C96 Canada lists a conversion service for one of the early winchester autoloaders (1905 or 1907) to take 7.62x25

And many others, according to their website.
Thanks very much for that, Milspectacles. That's a service I didn't know we had in Canada. GREAT tip.

I was told by a little bird that by the time FRT was issued, parts kits have dried up for TNW to build them for Canadian market.
It's possible that parts kits dried up, I know they were making then from wiselites tooling and building them for another company as well
I talked to Lance from TNW about them over a year ago and he said the tooling got shipped back to the original owners
It's too bad we didn't get them here I really would have loved one
Funny there was a ton of the suomis though, way more ppsh41 guns were produced so you would think there would be more parts kits available

If they are the ones that modify the .22/9mm receiver, IIRC, I contacted them and they said the receiver on which they base their modifications would not accomodate the 7.62x25 cartridge...

Pardon my ignorance, but what is that?
Their website seems to be having some issues currently and I can't get on it but they are a smaller business that re-barrels/relines/re-chambers and fixes mauser C96s. They import parts and spring kits as well but on the side they offer re-chambering services for a few different platforms to 7.62x25.
a company in the US made or still makes AR 7.62x25 uppers, Bazooka Brothers. Not sure if that website is still active, it uses a modified pps-43 magazine to feed 7.62x25.
They were also really expensive, like $750 USD for just the upper and 1 magazine.... include import costs it easily clears 1k+ uppers.
