win 94 clone in 762x25

[slicknick]

true but massive difference in ammo cost

Between surplus and commercial .357 Magnum? Yes, there's a difference. Between commercial 7.62x25 and plain vanilla .38 Specials? A bit, but no different than 9mm vs .45acp. Reloaded .38 specials blast it out of the water in regards to cost. Nevermind that you could ethically whack a deer with a .357 Mag, a 86gr SP in 7.62x25 isn't going to come close.

I wouldn't be interested in a lever action 7.62x25. But a small mini mauser short barrel bolt action taking tokarev mags,
Or a break action single shot.
Or a 10" rifled chamber adapter in 12 gauge.
All of these would interest me much more

 

[redruns]

Would you still get the fireball muzzle blast?

 

[lone-wolf]

I could be wrong but the wiki article on the savage 99 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savage_Model_99 says it used a rotary mag.

You're not wrong.

This would sell , kind of a De Lisle carbine ideal .

short barrel bolt action taking tokarev mags

I'll second that motion !!

 

[CrazyHands13]

That would be pretty intense. You'd get some good FPS from a full sized barrel in that caliber too

 

[surplusshooter]

I guess a good 2nd idea would be a JR carbine stile that takes tok mags

 

[wbaad]

Make it a model 92 clone then you got a deal

 

[Big_red_truck]

Sounds cool but i think i would rather get a second hand 94 in 3030 for the same price

winnies disassemble fairly easy, less cleaning than a sks

I beg to differ, after looking at some of the screw heads on 94s that have been apart. And after every trip to the range/field?

You're right, my mistake. Make it like the 9422. One screw, or saddle ring for take down.

Feeding rimless is not a problem for marlin 336, plus its easier to get the bolt out of the marlin for breech to muzzle cleaning!

 

[Expendable Nate]

I'd buy one in a heart beat it it could similar to a SRC

 

[katequip67]

a lever action would keep most of the corrosiveness in the barrel. unless you are shooting cowboy action at 10 shots in a second and a half, I wouldn't expect it to be a huge problem

 

[mwjones]

Where are you guys getting the cheap surplus flat nosed soft point ammo from?

Shooting 10 in a second or two, is a big part of why I want one of these!

 

[Rotorwash]

How about just reloading 30-30 cast for a model 94. Using trailboss I get around 1000 fps with 170 grainers and it's like shooting a 22lr. Costs about 8 cents a pop. You could do the same with 357 mag.

If your really set on a 7.62x25 rifle I think you would have better luck with getting chiappa to build you an M1-9 in 762.
Just my 2 cents

 

[TRich]

A high cap bolt action would probably be more feasible

 

[lone-wolf]

tube fed bolt action? hehe
