Any Bolt Action Handgun Builders Here?

[arakboss]

Brownells has been running some great deals on barreled actions. I am lightly thinking about picking one up for a handgun build, sort of like the Remington XP-100s.



If you have built one yourself what did you use for a frame? What cartridge was it chambered for and what barrel length did you end up at?


I am looking at this barreled action in particular. I may leave the length as is, so I could use it for rifle use as well. Of course first application would be in pistol frame for legal purposes.

The easiest and most versatile frame solution would be an MDT LSS chassis. It would serve as a handgun frame when no stock was attached but could be used as a rifle chassis when a buttstock was attached. This chassis uses standard AR pistol grips.

TFB Review: Remington 700CP - A Pistol Remington 700 -

Nicholas C got his hands on the Remington 700CP bolt action pistol. This one is chambered in .300BLK. Is a short 10.5" pistol model 700 a gimmick or potentially a pocket sniper?

There's a gorgeous XP-100 pistol at H&K gunshop in Forest Grove, IIRC ~$1,200. Don't remember the chambering.
To build one as beautiful as that, you would spend a lot more.

$1200 seems cheap compared to this Q mini fix at $3000

MINI FIX

The mini FIX pistol by Q, if it's not obvious already, is the Mini Action version of The Fix in a pistol form. The mini FIX pistol has a smaller receiver and bolt assembly, accepts the M4 magazine, has a smaller bolt assembly, and is offered in 300 BLK.

Talk to Marv there.

I appreciated the heads up on that find. I should probably let somebody else have that one, since beautiful and my gun collection don't go together. I am thinking about something cheaper and with a 16+ inch threaded barrel. I would like to have the option of using the barreled action as a rifle too. An ugly more modern look will fit right in with the rest of my collection.

I am saving a virgin M5 lower for a straight pull single shot 308 build but it's not the same as a turn bolt action.

MDT LSS might be kinda heavy for a pistol.

If you are going to use a 16"+ barrel, there is no point in building a pistol.

Lol. What if he wanted to put a stock on it later?

That is the idea of keeping the barrel at 16+, so it could be use in a handgun or rifle. Also the selection of barreled actions in the sub 16" length range are very limited.

The firearm wouldn't serve any special purpose other than range toy use.

Hey Griswald, where do you think you're going to use a handgun that big?

For rifle caliber handgun a contender or encore is my choice. Any legal issues have already been addressed by the ATF over a decade ago. Changing it to a carbine/rifle is easy.

I wish they still made them. I guess they weren't big enough sellers.

Christensen Arms makes a Rem 700 pistol as well. I just bought one in 308 with the intention to sbr it.

@arakboss shoot me a message if you're interested in a pistol chassis. I pulled the barreled action from this one as soon as I got it home. And it's going up for sale.

They sold well enough for several decades. Smith and Wesson bought the company and shut them down. SSK is finally making them again.

I checked out the SSK pieces and they look really nice but the price. Too rich for my blood.

XP-100s are fun to shoot….for what they are. The practicality of a bolt action pistol always intrigued me. No real reason for it but they live on my radar as a fun gun want.

Bolt action Glock anybody.
