Is there a 9mm rifle on the Canadian market that isn't semi-auto?

I'd like a 9mm long gun that isn't going to be on the hit list quite as quickly as the semi-auto ones.
 
I wonder how hard it would be to come up with a 9mm straight pull ar'ish carbine?

Maybe Maple Ridge Armoury could make a glock mag compatable lower for their straight pull set up and then all that would be needed is an off the shelf 9mm upper.

Not a bad idea to look into, it might be possible to assemble a strait pull rifle with AR parts and a dedicated strait pull receiver set.
 
The 9mm AR based carbines are blowback.
A manually operated - straight pull - carbine would require a locked breech.
Might be possible to set something up with an AR barrel extension and an AR bolt altered for 9mm head diameter in dedicated straight pull upper and lower receivers. A pistol magazine insert could be installed in an existing manually operated lower. That way a brand new lower and upper wouldn't be required.
MRA or Spectre upper and lower, 9mm specific bolt and barrel, magazine well adapter.

That makes sense. thanks for the wisdom tiriaq.... :)

A dedicated single shot break action without the insert would be economical on a few levels. I saw one not to long ago on the EE that a guy had built up with a long adapter that I believe had been soldered or permanently glued in to the shotgun chamber.
 
I have an H&R with two barrels - one 12ga, the other .357Maximum. With .38 wadcutters, the .357 is a great plinker. With .357Max, it could be used for deer hunting.

I have a piece of 9mm barrel in which I reamed a chamber. Might machine it into a shotgun chamber adapter. Maybe 20ga for my Savage .22/20.
 
I picked up a Thompson Contender barrel in .357max but have not tried it yet with max loads... lot's of options with that chamber size.
 
I have two 8” rifled chamber adaptors one in 357 and one in 9mm. They are Minuit of 8x11 paper out of my coach gun at 25yrs. I’ve shot them out of a single shot Charles daily with a 14” barrel and it tightened up the group to between 4-6 inches. When I get some time I’m going to take the smooth bore sighted deer slayer barrel off my 870, put the insert in, remove the extractor from the bolt, and put it all back together to see how it will shoot with actual iron sights. The chamber insert is made so that a flick of a finger nail will remove the spent shell (I should have enough room to flick it out).
