For 2500 dollars i could have two regular garands No thanks. 0 -
How does the action hold up? My garand doesn't like anything over 180 grains. Must have a vented gas plug. 0 -

some years ago I bought (cheap) a m-1, nov.1941, dcm, all original... that some idiot just had to make into a .300 win. mag. he opened the bolt face and rechambered the original barrel. you could get 7 rds in a clip and it shot well (lots of recoil!). I fired two clips and tore it apart and convereted it back to /06. 0 -
that may be X amount of garands, but can they take down a cape buffalo? 0 -
not to mention they look like they have some nice furniture on them 0 -
I think John Garand would be proud!!![^][^][^] 0 -

$2500 + the rifle.

Does such a tactic exist? Can anyone imagine a scenario where it would be necessary to approach a heavily armed and extremely dangerous suspect, say one in an airport surrounded by hostages, and remain unnoticed until the second you took him out with 3600 foot pounds of bullet energy before he could "pull the pin"? Possible?
The gun dubbed the MMGS-WR-300 could be concealed under an overcoat for a close approach to a very dangerous subject, and a quick drop to one knee while angling the .300 Win. Mag. up would impart a great deal of stopping power.
McCann Industries, is an interesting place where ideas fly around like metal shavings from one of the several lathes, grinders, CNCs or whatever. The "wrist rifle" is a "compact hunting rifle" with an overall length of 28.5 inches and combined weight of 7 pounds, 12 ounces - including 4x Leupold scope, three-round magazine (inside a pistol grip), bi-pod and sling! In the interest of judgment towards concealability, its height is 8.75 inches and width is 2.75 inches.
The action is a forged Mauser bolt action with Beuler safety and the bolt knob and bolt stop (ejector housing) are both checkered. The trigger has an adjustable pull and it, along with its housing, follower and spring, trigger bar and tunnel, the action, barrel and magazine all remove as a modular unit. And, the barrel is ported and fluted.
The stock, with pistol grip and thumbhole, is laminated hardwood, finished in camouflage with other options in stock material and finish - as well as options in major calibers.

the MMGS-WR-300 idea has been done before, all but with smaller calibres.savage produced a similar type of firearm a few years back, but it is no longer listed on their site. anyway, i can not imagine firing a 300 win mag off my wrist? there has to be some way the thing mitigates the recoil.

i do remember hearing kennedy assasination theories that state a gunman used a simmilar firearm. it was supposedly chambered in 221 fireball. . . . just an interesting tidbit on this style firearm0 -
here is the firearm that was mentioned in the kenedy theory

StainD460,
did I miss the point of this post or was it about the .458 and .338 Garand rifles? Or, was it about the .300 Win mag pistol?.
I think the .458 and .338 are good ideas if you get the gas system working properly. So, hold off on the BS flag. I'm not willing to permanently strain my wrist shooting a .300 Win mag out of a pistol though so throw that flag.0 -
I'll wait for the 700 Nitro Garand.[;)] 0 -

Considering most Africian contries have laws agans hunting with a Semi-Auto action, whats your point, or are you hunting Buff at your local zoo?0 -
I read about a guys a dozen years ago
Covenverted M-14 types to .338 win mag
M-1 carbines to .50 AE
Both broke really quick!0 -
Too bad they make it with a magazine - instead of the original 8 round clip-thingy...
I wonder how an 8 shot clip for 458Magnum would sound, when it ejects from the rifle..
I imagine something like a churchbell.. [:D]0 -
How about they made a US M1 Carbine in .458Casuul then... 0 -
