    I think a 9mm carbine would be pretty damn cool.
    Cheap ammo, heavy bullet

    I have a Stirling M20P which is the .22 semi. I think it's great but I would never recommend one to someone, thanks to their Remington-tier QC.

    No , interestered in the bolt action made for the small new 22TCM , its centerfire , basically a 223 case cut to 25mm long to function in a hicap M1911 pistol , 40gr jacketed at 2100 fps out of 5 inche barrel , out of the rifle its 2800 fps .
    They make an interesting 45 M1911 that has a 22lr slide available , unlike most 22lr tops for 9mm/45 pistols , its all steel , like the CZ75 cadet , and NOT cheaper alloy

    Mean, I'm doing a ar15 9mm upper as well in e cat to use on possums as a laugh. I was looking at one of the 9mm mp5 clones but are too expensive and too much hassle with the police.

    What was your issue with the barrels?

    https://armscor.com/products/category/rifles/

    Looks like an interesting round

    Would be good to compare against a 9mm AR.
    After using a 9mm AR, I gotta have 1.

    Ones a 10.5 so a bit short, the other is 16 inch so a bit long. Yes mine will go on the E, some as you possum gun and a cheap rifle to use at the range.
