Could you make a cocking handing that folded much like the FNC1A1 7.62 NATO rifle that so many of us used up to the early 90's? As a right hand shooter, I like the cocking handing on the left side but when carrying it in my left arm folded across my chest, it hangs up on gear I am wearing when carrying in out in the boonies. Thanks!

Firstly, I understand why everyone is heated about this conversion and the creation from a straight pull to a semi auto function rifle. Hands down to all Canadian firearm manufacturing for innovation. Re-Manufacturing a reciever after it has been cut is definately a process that cannot be done in a backyard shop and only in a specialized enviroment and possibly weaking the reciever in the process, hence making this a dangerious process. The re-creation of the reciever is possible and a newer non variant of a Ar15- Ar10. would be a game changer as Canadian firearm manufacturing has been tanking due to the RCMP Non Binding FRT and the Liberial warpath of killing the Semi-Auto Market. The thing here is manufacturing of firearms is a specialization of process. What we need is a collabrative process of manufactures to develop new firearms that make Bill C-21 moot and Variant a non issue in this newly created firearm. So instead of fighting between the manufactures how about creating a firearm that skirts these inpediments and create a firearm that will beat the system instead of being enslaved by it. Canadians are innovators we can make this dream a reality.
If 9mm PCC is on the menu, can you make it with swapable barrels and mag wells?
And a barrel in 762Tok.
There is a lot of folk with toks, the ammo is avaliable too. It would #### pretty good to have something thats a 9+ inch barrel spitting these out.

Is 7.62x25 even that plentiful these days?
There is almost nothing left in 9mm. You would sell hundreds of of them easy...
I have thousands of rounds of 9mm and nothing to shoot it out of... I'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands of people in the same boat.
I'm not buying a Homesteader only to have it banned like my other 9mm's
The key I think would be to kill 2 birds with one stone... MAKE IT A PUMP ACTION.
A pump action Renegade in 9mm would be wildly popular right now... 5.56 would be too.
I'd buy both in a heartbeat.
Pump actions are fun! Just like lever guns... and both actions are way faster than bolts. You also get better control because both hands are on the gun at the same time. No need to remove one hand, reach up and rack a bolt.
A pump action 9mm would also have a very short throw due to the short cartridge making it handy, fast and fun.
DO IT! DO IT!

That's a great idea. We have a staff member building his own in exactly this style and we have an example we did for a customer a couple years ago too; picture below.

FAQ: Does the Bolt Catch work normally (like an AR)?
A: Yes and No: Yes, it does work normally to hold the bolt back on an empty magazine. No, you cannot always use it to drop the bolt on a freshly loaded magazine.
When the charging handle (reciprocating) is mounted on the left side, the clearance over the the bolt catch latch is very tight, and it is possible (almost certain) to injure the user as the handle flies forward under very strong spring tension to slam the bolt into battery.
When the handle is mounted on the right side you are fine. Slap that bolt catch like you would an AR15...

I own a 223 Wylde Renegade, a 7.62x39 Renegade, and a 308 Win Maverick. I would buy a 7.62x25 and a 9mm Renegade if the price was $1500 or less on a complete rifle. I would like to assume the 7.62x25 Tokarev version would take TT-33 magazines and the 9mm would take Glock 17 (or other pistol) magazines.
As in the words of Philip J. Fry.... "Shut up and take my money!"

Just to be clear, any 9mm or other pistol caliber version of the Renegade will be manual action, NOT semi-auto. Until there is a change in the anti-gun regime, semi-autos are doomed.
Developing a rotating-bolt locking system for a 9mm is complicated, as just about every other 9mm AR platform is using straight blow-back operation.
