7.62x25 carbine needed

[Russ]

We need a Jr carbine or Thureon defense carbine...Non restricted in 7.62x25. Maybe make it to take TT33 mags. Make a nice plinker with cheap ammo. At least till the surplus dries up.

You should ask irunguns to bring in some of these.

They are considered handguns in USA. But they would be a restricted rifle in Canada.

RCMP have one for review already.....not classified yet.

 

[wbaad]

[Beater]

Yup! TT mags and make it semi-auto (or bolt).

It would have enough punch to get a deer.

And we get to use the stock with them. They look more useable and pack more punch than Skorpions.

I wouldn't hold your breath

Couldn't someone if they really wanted to convert a 9mm carbine by just changing the barre to one that is chambered in 7.62x25l?

Well, I don't see it so black and white.
Considering it's marketed as a pistol, they would likely classify it as a pistol.
If you attach a stock to it, and call it a rifle(regardless of barrel length), they may still consider it a pistol(like the circuit judge)
It's stupid, but that outcome wouldn't be surprising.

Can the 7.62x25mm work in a blowback firearm?

In the terms of registration; once a pistol, always a pistol.

The importer would be wise to remember that. The possibility to rebarrel to non-restricted would be a motivating factor in quite a few sales . It would be wise to import as a rifle, and base the classification off of barrel length.

There is precedence with carbines that are marketed in the US as a pistol being non-restricted here. Case in point the Ranch Hand.

The round is a little bit long, so you need a proper magwell.

I would really like a X25 carbine , i thought a TNW PPSH 41 was in the works ? I have a crap load or czech surplus i need to shoot .. Its a really hot little round im guessing out of a long barrel it would be in the 1700 to 1800 fps range ..

 

[BlairW]

Wolverine (?) I think had said that non restricted ppsh was possible

 

[Russ]

I would sooner have a Jr. style carbine that takes the TT33 mags. at least you get 8 rounders,they are plenty and cheap.. Any PPSH would need to be pinned to 5.

[Beater]

I wish there was a lil bolt action rifle available aswell. sure be a good fungun, and inexpensive to run

 

[Ebola]

I will come out and say I think the 7.62x25 round is one of the most underrated rounds not in common use.

 

[Russ]

Yes..A little bolt gun tube fed would be nice..or a little lever. I did a little messing with Quick load. 90gr.XTP with a 19" barrel would run about 2,120fps. I even thought about building a barrel for my T/C pro hunter. 28" barrel gets it to 2,240fps.

eBay has these chamber adapters for about $40 shipped recent boom of M38 rifles.... they're fairly "lil"

provided there was hunting ammunition available
