9mm lever gun conversion kit?

[VanMan]

I think OAL of 9mm is generally an issue with lever actions.

I think you're right Suther. Cartridge length will have some effect on how well the lifter mechanism handles the round. I know some 357 lever guns are picky and won't feed some 38sp. My Marlin will do both, but I was helping a fellow with a Turkish lever gun that would feet 357 just fine, but consistently jammed with factory 38sp fmj truncated point ammo.

Really enjoying my 9mm TC73, but it uses a a '73 style lifting block instead of a lifter like in my '92/'94 lever action rifles. It is a lot easier to load 38/357 through the side gate rather than 9mm. Have to be more careful to get the angle right with the short 9mm case

People have been asking for a 9mm lever gun for a long time, well before the OiC bans came into effect. That garbage is likely driving up demand, but it's not like there was NO demand before that.

Humour me. What is the desire for a 9mm lever action, or any manual repeating rifle? If it’s just for fun/plinking why not 22lr? If it’s for small game, pest, varmint rifle why not 22wmr? 22wmr ammo is about the same price as 9mm. 357 magnum is getting to the point where it has enough power out of a rifle length barrel for deer hunting, 9mm I wouldn’t consider

Lever action craze has been popular for close to eight years now. There's something satisfying about racking the lever of a repeating carbine or rifle.

It could be the cowboy action hero's we all grew up with, or the John Wayne (Duke), popularity that came out in the 60's and 70's.

One either has the lever bug or not. However get one out in 10mm auto, 357 magnum, 44 magnum, 30-30, or 45-70 and tell me it doesn't pull your hair back..... LOL
