Evidently not. Have you been living under a rock for the past 5 years?
Don't think so.... more little goodies are to be added to make this go Semi -Auto like a gas eject on the barrel and other modifications which other people can pipe in.
Tell me you didn't look at the link without telling me...
b-wingpilot posted a link to a delayed blowback 9mm PCC set up. It doesn't need a gas system, it is recoil operated.
Mark
It also wont fit the Renegade.
It can be made to fit the gun in about 10 minutes.
How
Turn the carrier diameter down.
How
The same way you’d turn anything else down.
I will admit to not having actually seen that carrier but if it is anything like an AR carrier, there is no way to just turn down the OD. The AR carrier has bearing surfaces that sit proud of the OD. It'd be A LOT of work to re-profile an AR carrier to fit a smaller hole.
Non-machinists always think machining stuff is quick n easy. It almost never is.
So a hand file and a slow work day wouldn’t be enough?
The rails only come to the back of the gas key. More than half the bolt is completely round. I’ve been a red seal journeyman machinist for over 20 years.
You could give it a try and see how that works out.
Correct you are .... which means the complicated machining bits are only 3 inches in length and it still wouldn't be a simple turning down of the OD.
Looking at the photo of the 9mm assembly, there don't seem to be any rails.
Don't know what difference this makes with respect to this commercial conversion being offered.
The converted rifles will have a FRT entry which will include the classification determined by the RCMP.

I took some machining in trade school. I couldn’t agree with you more.
If you’re capable of machining, and hardening an AR15 bolt, then you’re likely able to machine a firearm - it would take some skill. Heck, some firearm manufacturers can’t get it right - sheered locking lugs, cracked bolts, bolts that won’t function due to minor tolerance issues.
I’m still enormously proud of the brass and aluminum hammer, and punch, that I made in machine shop - I use them to gunsmith frequently.
You’d need the tools and skill. This isn’t a file in front of the TV kinda job.
Everyone who attended a prominent 3 Gun match in Ontario this past spring got to see a home made semiauto converted Renegade up close and in person decimate the competition shooting their SKS’s and straight pulls.
It can be done in an afternoon, it exists and they are already out there. All this hand wringing and pearl clutching just makes me sad. We should be applauding the ingenuity and entrepreneurship that still exists in our community.
