Suppressed Rock Island 22TCM converted to 9mm bolt action super quiet

this was a 22tcm Rock Island Armscor rifle rebarreled to 9mm, bowers vers 9mm subgun suppressor

[@paultoy9611]

I didn't like the idea until I listened to the results.Great job! Good energy on the round.

[@ShooterSD72]

Seems like a cool concept.

[@Ammosexual69]

This is literally the perfect starting gun for a bolt action 9mm because of the fact that it can take double stack 9mm RIA mags. Lots of capacity with plenty of short range power in a quiet package. Perfect for a companion gun if you have a 9mm double stack RIA. Total zombie sniper lol

Cool video.

Waiting for actual groupings at 50yards.

[@thereindeertherabbitthebat592]

Good Lord!!! I'd have way too much fun with one of those...

[@jaredgans144]

Wow!! thats quiet

[@daveh4914]

Let me know if you are still doing those. After this covid19 business settles down and all the new gun buyers have calmed down a bit, I'd be looking for something interesting like that. Kind of a modern day destroyer carbine.

[@johnthesingjr.6762]

That's damm cool.

[@juanp1504]

Any news on this? I got a 22tcm but special interest arms ran out of novem kits two weeks ago.

[@totherepublic358]

Any chance of getting one still chambered in 22tcm but with a 1 in 12 twist barrel instead of the 1 in 16 they come with?

[@JakeFF]

that is neat I want one

[@bullsseye11]

Your buddy still making these? Would REALLY like to purchase one..

[@MAG162]

Im having one done as I type

[@Lunch_Peak]

I am planning on purchasing one as soon as I have the money for it.

[@TNerdo]

It’s quieter than the hammer smashing the firing pin

[@codybeanz9748]

cool

[@Rundu1987]

I want one!!!! No I want four!

[@dustinshadle732]

i have one of the first run 22tcm rifles. not so pleased on the rifle, but i want to put a 16.5 inch barrel and make it a suppressor host. i would like to be able to use it while sniping hogs or whatever happens to be messing with the land around the shop outside of town. the smiths here seem to be allergic to the very idea.

[@cowbdave99]

Why don't you like it? I'm shopping for one right now. I have about 5k rounds like to shot. Have the 1911/9mm love it.

[@screes620]

Can i have one of these that takes glock mags?

[@DGmarch30]

Is that piece available at armscor philippines?

[@mackenziejones4890]

How much do they cost I want one

[@thehammerglock17]

availability? pricing?

[@Riven1974]

I want one! How much $$$?

[@bmac9317]

Thread pitch 1/2-28?

[@bluepunk182]

99% certain that's a yes. That's the standard for 22 and 9mm. There is one other 9mm thread pitch, but it's not as common (13.5x1)

[@markblanchard2]

What's the price I'm very interested

[@nathanielmcleran2274]

i like but i wunt one the runs 380

[@TROOPERfarcry]

One of the big benefits of 9mm over 300 BLK is that there's plenty of 9mm loads that expand just fine at their velocities. I have a Ruger Ranch rifle -- a bolt-action -- in 300 BLK, and the subsonics are plenty quiet .... but they have no expansion at all at those velocities. It looks to me like Hornady just stuffed some 308 or 30.06 bullets into the little 300 BLK cases, and those red-tipped bullets are meant to impact at 2K+ fps ... so they behave just like a FMJ.... which sucks. For plinking and impressing people at a range, I'm sure it's fine. But for shooting an animal, it sucks badly.

[@wildrangeringreen]

Have Accurate Molds make you a rebated boat tail RNFP bullet. Use Lead with just a smidge of tin as an alloy (not Wheel Weights) and Paperpatch or Powder coat it. If you really need a HP, you can either modify the mold yourself or send it off to hollowpoint molds to have it modified for a pin. At Subsonic velocities, boat tail bullets are nearly 2x as efficient as flat base bullets of the same nose profile and weight (less velocity loss).

[@powderkeg5332]

This is why most guys I know hand load varmint bullets in the 300 blk.

[@TROOPERfarcry]

@@powderkeg5332 They won't be subsonic. There aren't 220-grain varmint bullets. I suppose they could put such a small amount of powder in the case that a 90-grain bullet stays subsonic, but it won't expand at those velocities either.

[@powderkeg5332]

@@TROOPERfarcry yes you are correct.

[@skelleytim]

is this set up for sale?

[@mwaan]

There is a company that already makes these. specialinterestarms.com/index.php?page=novem

[@fomerbu]

Need some boat tail .355s lol

[@Codevil.]

White box can't be called cheap anymore

[@cowbdave99]

Why would you want to. Tcm is the whole point.

[@jimschaefer9290]

I agree the 2800 fps 22tcm is more fun than a 9 mm that can be replicated by any pcc 9mm with a can….

[@daledurbin2354]

Price point?

[@modernpawn]

stay tuned, still working out pricing

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

No, no way you are getting 357mag ballistics out of any 9mm no matter the barrel length, unless you are comparing to a snub nose, which isn't really a comparison as 357 out of a snub is basically 9mm. 9mm uses a fast burning flake powder. Past 4-6" it is already going at near max velocity.

[@modernpawn]

357mg, 4in barrel, 125gr, 1480fps 9mm, 16in barrel, 125gr, 1415fps those are the test numbers i was referring too.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Oh, you are comparing 125 grains. Got you.

[@DimaProk]

@@modernpawn Except no frieking way you're getting 1415fps with 125gr bullet! I have Ruger PC9 with carbine with 16" barrel and the only bullet I could get to shoot this fast were light 90-100gr bullets!

[@wildrangeringreen]

@@DimaProk GRT shows a 16" 9mm loaded with 125gr FMJ's and 5.4gr of N340 (common stand-in for Herco) getting 1433fps lol. With a 125gr Lead bullet, 5.8gr of N340 shows 1474fps out of a 16" barrel. 158gr Lead bullet with 5.3gr looks to run around 1283fps (most 158gr .357 mag is rated at around that out of a pistol). 4.1gr with that 158gr lead bullet would be a nice subsonic load @ 1076 fps and 407 ft/lbs (a good suppressed 100yd deer load, especially if you used a rebated boat tail bullet like an Accurate Molds 36-152A, IMO). All are below 31,000psi (That subsonic load is going to run around 18,000psi) (Standard pressure 9x19mm SAAMI max is 35,000psi CIP Max is 34,000psi) - Numbers are acquired by running variables through an internal ballistics modeling program, use safe loading practices, use at your own risk.

[@trackerwyo2640]

what a waste of a good gun

[@MrDansmith89]

It's an old post, but if you own a 22 tcm and are getting good accuracy I'm happy for you.. no sarcasm at all intended. I got a tcm a couple years ago and as many others it's been plagued with horrid accuracy. I had mediocre expectations to begin with. After several outings the best it managed was a 6in group at 100 yards.. for a small caliber round with a loud report it's pretty much useless for me. I get for more use out of it as a 9mm plinker that's killed several roaming nutria on the property. And for the kids it's a lot cheaper to waste ammo.
