A grand plan overtook me a while ago that led me to purchase a lathe. I made the barrel and chambered it in 7.62x25. It is gas operated, not blowback. I test fired it a few times. Just a bit of tweaking to get it to feed from a mag and lock open on an empty magazine and we're in business. I am looking at modifying an endomag to feed this thing. Anyways here's some pictures.

Why? Because why not?

That is the ####!

What mags/lower are you using?

Why hasn’t someone brought a rifle like this to the market?

WHHHYYYYYY?!!!
 
Very creative!

Are those endomags in Canada yet?

I wonder if there would be any value in putting together a magwell block to feed from TT-33 pistol mags.

That’s the kind of place a 3D printer would really shine.

I think your barrel is prohibited.
Or is it over 18.5 ?

Except that you can't cut down an existing barrel to the length he has, even if it was shorter than 18.5" to begin with. So the barrel is prohibited.

If he made the barrel from a blank, cut it to the length he has it, then chambered it, it would be fine.

I'm sure that this is what he actually did, and only typed it out wrong........

Definitely prohibited being already restricted doesn't allow you to cut down an existing barrel

The only barrels specifically prohibited in Canada are pistol barrels less than 105mm in length. Apart from the under 105mm pistol barrel, there are no prohibited barrels.

OP - very interesting project, particularly as you chose to go with a gas operated design, rather than a blowback. I cannot help but think, though, that using corrosive surplus ammunition would require lots of cleaning. I note that you are using commercial ammunition.

He (seemingly) cut a finished remington 700 barrel to a length shorter than 18.5" (regardless of whether it was already shorter than 18.5" to begin with).

If he made it from a blank, he would be ok.

What am I missing? Or are you saying that since the barrel wasn't an ar15 barrel to begin with, he's not technically creating a prohibited firearm by shortening the ar15 barrel because it wasn't an ar15 barrel, and since he's removing the original r700 threads (and chamber?) it's not a r700 barrel anymore either?

Who cares? Why don’t you just leave it alone.
 
Look at all the keeners in the thread FFS. Probably the same kind of guys that rushed out and pinned their 10+ round 10/22 mags.

The rifle is very cool, I'd love something like it.
