7.62x25mm long-arms

I want a Stalin Guitar,

Don't think there is anything but pistols in this calibre. I need to get anything second firearm in this calibre ad I've ended up with more ammo than my 1940 Tokarev can handle.... I really like that gun.
 
At some point I want to make a revolver in this caliber (likely years away), but in terms of firearms made in this caliber there aren't really any long guns other than the SMGs. If you think about it, it makes sense that there would only be SMGs and pistols as it is a pistol sized round and why would they have bothered making a semi-auto long rifle when they could have a SMG instead.

Does anyone know of the existence of any carbines chambered for this round?


Or is the only "long-arm" for this round essentially an SMG?

I recall seeing some type of semi auto carbine in x25, some time back, on irunguns website. I also seem to recall it being mentioned that someone was importing (trying?) one of them so an frt could possibly be produced. If you're a wizard with the search function, you may find it.

I think the implication was 10 round pistol mags vs the standard 5 round M1 mag

The M1 carbine in 7.62 X 25 TOK is an interesting topic. I was contacted a few years ago to make one of my NR barrels (in Stainless steel) for this round. I did not have the correct reamer, and was not prepared to paid the $$ to buy a new one, but did play around with it for a bit. Found the following:

1. Most if not all of this surplus ammo is corrosive, hence the gas hole & chamber in the barrel stub would be very difficult to clean out, and subject to corrosion. I use the USGI barrel stub to accept a sleeved threaded barrel.

2. The TOK round fits quite nicely (staggered) into a std m1 carbine mag, but it will not feed. This cartridge is bottle shaped, as the round slides forward to chamber, as forced by the bolt, it will ride downward following the contour of the round below it. It jams on the feed ramp, and will not chamber.

3. The bolt face of the carbine bolt has to be opened up by about 0.060" dia to allow the base of the TOK round to seat on it. Some tweeking of the extractor is required too.

So, yes cheap surplus 7.62 X 25 is available now, but can this supply be endless?

So, to me, it made more sense economically to pull the 85 gr steel core bullets on the TOK, and reload my .30 carbine cartridge using this bullet (same powder load as the 110 gr.) MV is 2000 fps+
