Anyone ever messed with the idea of a tube fed 9mm AR?

[frigginchi]

Tubular mags are exempt from the over 10 rule I believe.

but since it can't be over 10-rounds, why would a 10-round tubular mag be better than a 10-round box mag that can be removed with a tool?

that exemption is only for lever action rifles. make a lever action ar15? ill just take a .357 marlin in that case...

Well, if he can get a tubular magazine for the upper, and a lever action lower, then the 10 round limit becomes moot:

12020 (c)(25) As used in this section, "large-capacity
magazine" means any ammunition feeding device with the capacity
to accept more than 10 rounds, but shall not be construed to
include any of the following:
...
(C) A tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action
firearm.

Just what I always never wanted. A tube fed, lever action 9mm AR.

LOL, I didn't realize you were talking about a greater than 10 capacity. I thought it was just for giggles.

So... railed handguard and collapsible AR stock on a Marlin!

[frigginchi]

Oh well let's scratch the 9mm and make it a .22 LR

The easiest way would be to add the feed tube to the lower and chop the mag well into something you can feed into. After that you just need to tie the loading trough to the BCG and you can keep the upper as is, for the most part. You'd need to have a whacky looking forearm though - one that looks like the forearm for the Knights ArmCo LMG to make room for the feed tube.

You mean like a Marlin 60?

[frigginchi]

I like wood on my featureless rifles.

[frigginchi]

That gives me diarrhea.

I have a synthetic M60.

I am friend of my sent me this link of a lever action AR-15 style rifle a while back.

I believe this rifle is made in Europe.

With this type of action and a magazine tube, I think the OP would be able to have a 10+ round AR in 9mm.

[dstiltner]

Thinking along the lines of the OP. I think a monolithic or one piece reciever/rail system would eliminate the barrel nut issue. Depending on how the barrel is attached (assuming each manufacturer has different methods) would determine if you would be able to drill closer to the barrrel. If the lower rail can be removed for an M203, you could manufacture some kind of shround to cover the magazine tube.

Crazy...I like it

Neato!

These are the guys who make it. Pretty innovative ways to get around certain laws
