I kinda wanna have barrel threaded for my can

Looks like Numrich has the buffers. Wolff has some springs. As to threading, maybe ask @Velzey. Cheers.

The Marlin Camp 45 has always been a bucket list rifle along with the Marlin 62 in 30 carbine.

Good luck in "tuning" yours up OP.

Yeah it was one of mine too, camp 9 is another id like.
Both seem rare these days

Some folks used these for integral hosts with varying degrees of success IIRC.

In talking to an SOT about this 15 years ago he told me a problem in machining these was bore/barrel lack of concentricity.

Probably why I have only seen 1 of these with a can on it, barrel was cut down and can was pinned I believe. Oh well its probably a bad idea chopping on a nice one anyway

They became oddly super popular after production ceased, and spendy!

I never understood why if they became so popular later on why they were not resurrected by someone. It would seem to be a good pairing with a 1911 handgun.

The ruger pc9 is a good sub for the camp 9, I wish someone would for a 45 too

My thoughts exactly. The design did have issues, but nothing that couldn't have been "debugged". Light, handy, classically-styled, semi-auto feeding from M1911 magazines; what's not to like?

I stopped looking for a Camp 9 and just got a nice AR9.

I am also surprised that Ruger didn't bring out a PC45. I would think it would market well - especially if the streamlined it and trimmed weight a little bit.

Come on man...how often do you actually take down that PC9? Corn Pop says you always need it to be ready to rock 'n roll.

I'm always amazed when there is strong support and yet the product isn't made.

And that's why we dial in off the bore and not the OD of the barrel
Easy peazy!

Well, Ruger owns the name, the rights and whatever is left of the tooling. A proven design, needing only better polymer in the mag well and inletting so that the stocks that don't crack. With a little patience, we might see them again.
