I've heard the destroyer carbine isn't strong enough for 7.62x25. It was told to me by someone on here who had done a few destroyer carbine conversions and he didn't know until after the fact.
Possibility of a Bolt-action 7.62x25 SBR?

loaded with heavier bullets you end up with kind of a 7.63 mini whisper...I would certainly like to play with one!
Please build it like the M4 air crew survival rifle. Also like to see it in the M6 survival rifle. I think it would be more effective than the 22 hornet.
If the M4 was built in a proper none restricted barrel length with the tok round I think it would be a big seller.

7.62x25 in a M1 Carbine that would be cool.
they are not strong enough. ive had one, and in short order things were stretched.
The whole point of bolt action is that there is no mandatory minimum barrel length. Remember the .45ACP Lee Enfield conversion kits?
From a ballistic standpoint, it would be akin to a .32-20HV fired form a carbine; less oomph than a .30 carbine. Marlin made a box magazine fed lever action .30 Carbine years ago.
The current low priced ammunition is attractive. That isn't likely to last.
A 340 Savage would be an easy conversion, as far as rebarrelling goes. An adapter for TT-33 magazines could likely be made. Interesting project.

R&D? The bolt face size has already been established as 'regular'.
It's a 30 cal so barrel blanks are readily available. It takes minimal effort from anyone in the business to get this rolling, there definitely a market, it's probably not as lucrative as a business would want but Christ, you wouldn't think there's much market for an m14 in 7.62x39 but those things are selling. I've been using a savage with inserts but I buggered up the insert when I glued it in so now extraction is impossible. Still. I'm about ready to make an investment because 1900 fps from surplus ammo in a bolt action is perfect for a lot of things.

Am I loopy for wanting something like this in a pump action? (ie: lightning)
Bolt action would be cool and all, quick mag changes....but slow to cycle!
