7.62 x 25 Rifle?

Military gun Supply makes a PPsH41 clone in 7.62x25. It is a rifle, semi auto, 16 inch barrel, not the original short barreled subgun.

Oh hell, now you got me thinking how cool a levergun in 7.62x25 would be. Of course round nose bullets in a tube magazine aren't a very good idea <sigh>.

Supposedly, they're coming out with a 16" barrel PPS43.

Look at the picture....and let your face turn from this ...to this



My favorite SMG of WW2.

The only thing that I ever recall seeing which comes close to qualifying was a semiauto version of the old Russian PPsH. It's been several years ago, and I don't remember who made/imported it. I only looked it over, briefly, at a show because I have a mild fascination with firearms curiosa and this definitely qualified. The asking price was about $400, a good deal more than I was willing to spend for what would essentially (for me) be a 'toy', so I didn't examine it very closely.

Frankly, I doubt that you'll be able to find any longarm at all, other than a semiauto version of some European submachinegun, in this caliber. There's always the custom/conversion option if you simply must have one, but it isn't going to be inexpensive.

Sorry.

That SMG pictured has a ridiculously long action length.

That is to reduce the cyclic rate.

AR-15s come in 7.62X25 rounds Ze, I am saving up for one.

I handled one of the Semi PPSH's at Knob Creek... seemed VERY well made...

Damn, you HAD to tell me that didn't ya

I saw an M1 carbine that was converted to 7.62x25. Supposedly some Gov't. test gun. I don't know how true the back story was, but the carbine was cool and shot well.

I've really grown interested in this since it was pointed out that some of our servicemembers have taken to using the PPsH for MOUT ops.

Here's the one mentioned earlier in this thread:

There's also the old Interordinance SR-41 semi-auto PPSH, which wasn't real well made and tended to start runaway slam-fires and then jam. I saw one yesterday. Long barrel, normal length shroud. Looks goofy.
