STOWAWAY Rifles 5.7 are in stock and ready to ship

Depending on how the future pans out here in a few weeks I may be in for a 5” 9mm! That sounds awesome!

 

[Petrock]

No. Think of it like a stocked pistol, rather than a rifle. Like other pistols your support hand does the loading and cocking.

Well, that and the price of the ammo, for what it is, isn't for me.

The barrel is fitted with an extension into which the bolt head locks.
Caliber conversion kits from the manufacturer would be easy to install.
Custom barrels could be problematic.

Nothing wrong with that. Few guns appeal to everyone.

I was excited to see the new gun, until I saw the left hand opening. I don't care if it's left load, but not left operation. It's a neat little gun, and in other calibers might be attractive.

I'm in the other camp. I shoot LH due to eye dominance, but I'm right handed normally. I would love the bolt to be on the other side too, but for the opposite reason lol

I have had a bit of success with occluding the dominant eye and forcing the brain to adapt to the other eye. All it takes is patient and an eye patch.

I've tried all the tricks. Really didn't want to make the switch at first. They work to a degree but no trick came close to just shooting from the left shoulder.

Plus now I'm comfortable shooting from either side. Switching was a win win for me.

I absolutely LOVE my 5.7mm Stowaway....

Although the Barrel does heat up quickly with consequent Point Of Impact shift.

Still, it is a TON of Fun to plink with - the Left-side loading and Bolt manipulation is genius for Right-handed firers!

9mm 5” shorty sounds fantastic! What’s the updated, current ETA on them arriving for sale here?

 

[HeadDamage]

Waiting for 9mm and hopefully 7.62x25 and/or 7.62x39.

 

[drift1122]

I definitely need a 9mm

 

[zxnith]

Will the short barrel ones come with a 1913 rail adaptor?

I would get one but cannot get over the Cooey single shot bolt cokking style.

I''m in if they change that.

 

[Can-down]

I don't mind the manual cocking, but it would be nice if they could sweeten the trigger pull to more of a set trigger given the steps to get it ready to fire.

It is highly doubtful that the manual charging will change to ####-on-opening or closing any time soon. The requirement to manually charge the Stowaway is an inherent safety aspect of the rifle, requiring a deliberate action immediately prior to firing. Given its lack of a magazine and single-round feed, the Stowaway is not intended to be a rapid-fire repeater.
