Semi-Auto .357 carbine

A semi in .357 mag would be fun...

I like the paired carbines/handguns chambered in the same cartridge when out in the brush. Thus my ruger deerfield (old tube mag) and my model 29 or Dan Wesson 44 mag, great combo for hog hunting...

A converted m1 carbine would be fun...

I would love a Semi in 357 Mag. That said I would also like a 357 thumper, 357-223rem, 357 Maximum Auto, 9mm Hell-N-Damnation, whatever you call it, a 357 loaded in a blown out 223/5.56 with an OAL that would fit in an AR mag. You could use a 223 shell holder and 357 Maximum dies to load the thing, it would thump, probably would need some work with the gas hole in the barrel to get it to work, but I think it could be done. Think 180gr pointed soft points running around 2000 to 2500 fps (just a SWAG)

I'd by a 375 carbine. Wait, aren't there lever actions for 357?

Just start emailing Coonan. Tell them you want a .357 mag carbine using thier magazines that looks like a WINCHESTER .351. My Coonan 1911 style auto has worked perfectly
for 10 Years. A matching carbine would be awsome. I already have lever guns.

Cheers,

honestly, i don't see the point. we've got revolver rounds for lever/pump guns, and semi auto pistol rounds for semi auto carbines. not much call for crossover.

Just like you have carbines in .45. You can get them in pistols and revolvers and lever guns, but there's obviously a market for them in ARs and Hi-point carbines. Hell, anytime anybody asks for a SD levergun, the .357 ALWAYS comes up. I'm thinking a carbine in .357 would have its place too.

Wasn't there a company in the 80's that tried to market M1 carbines converted to .357 magnum, but just couldn't get over some jamming problems??
