    9mm Luger bolt gun project

    Hey fullas,

    Got abit of a project on the go at the moment! I thought some of you may be interested in the build.

    It’s going to be a 9mm Luger bolt gun built on a Marshal Precision action with a 11-12” true Flite barrel. I plan on running the 147gr hornady xtp projectiles as they look like they will open up at lowsh velocity making it a super cheap and deadly rifle to shoot and super quiet.

    I’m using a dpt muzzle forward suppressor also to keep it quiet, Ken Henderson carbon stock and will be putting a red dot on top as it will not be used past 100m or so.

    Initial thoughts on the action is that it’s a pretty sweet action, bolt is pretty slick and it’s a rem 700 footprint.

    I’m still waiting on a chamber reamer to get the job underway but stay posted!!

    Funnily enough I had a similar idea.

    Being that I don't have a 22 and 9mm is cheaper to reload than 22 it would be pretty neat.

    Let us know how ya get on!

    Should be fun! The 147 should have abit more punch behind it than a 22 also

    That’s marshal precision’s design, I would have preferred a pistol mag on a a custom
    Bottom metal but may be issues later on down the track with being able to use high capacity mags on it so I can see why he’s gone down that track

    I have photos somewhere of a 9mm SMLE, new bolt head machined up by a gunsmith and a barrel blank from brownells. much cheaper than a marshall precision.

    Done a .45ACP on a jw103 still fiddling with getting the extract to be reliable. Shoots 240grn hornady .452 around the 1200fps BUT kind of stuffs the cases or 200grn leads @ 800fps. Need some Rowland brass.

    Well today was the day I finished the build, came out pretty sweet and feeds mean. Shame the weather is so crappy can’t get out and test it but I did shoot a few rounds through it and it was pretty quiet so should be able to tune the loads down with the 147s
    Stay posted for the range report

    Only just read this from the thread title I thought for a start you were into homekill or something.

    Very neat rifle.
