Special Interest Arms emails this beauty:

Yup, that’s a bolt action, suppressed 9mm. Says Richard:

Calling my 9mm conversion the “Novem” (Latin for 9).
These are built from new Armscor 22 TCM rifles.
The conversions are lighter than the originals and 9mm is actually a lower pressure round.

SBR and integral versions pictured, standard 16.5″ as soon as more barrel blanks show up.
Anyone wanting one should email me.

The SBR is for sale once I take a few pics with a silencer fitted, I’m keeping the integral suppressed unit as the shop demo gun – personal toy.
Full details will be up on my site in a couple of days.
An 11″ barrel allows the stock to remain unmodified, shorter means cutting it.

I fit new barrels made on my CNC lathe, then modify the bolt and feed ramp to suit the caliber.
9mm is the standard conversion.
A 1/2-28 thread at the muzzle is standard but may be deleted.
Other threads are available.
I particularly focus on NFA items but these are available with a standard 16″ barrel which requires no special paperwork and should be legal in all states.
Standard magazine capacity is five but the seventeen round pistol magazines are interchangeable.
Basic conversions in the customers choice of barrel length are $750.00.
Integrally suppressed versions will be around $950.00

.40 SW, 10 mm, and .38 Super are the other caliber options.
I decided against 9X23 due the chance of 9X23 Win being used, which would exceed the pressure limit.
Other calibers might be possible but most have no real advantage over the above, pressure is an issue with some.
.40 SW and 10 mm will reduce capacity to four for every five in 9mm.
Guns I have gotten required slight opening of the bolt face as 9mm did not fit.

These are a hoot to shoot and the SBR balance is very fast, almost like a pistol.
Probably THE best suppressor host for the available calibers if action noise is an issue for you.
With reloads fairly heavy bullets are possible, 160 gr. 9mm, 180 gr. .40 or .38 Super.
Even heavier bullets may be possible as the magazine will take a 1.295″ OAL round.

And if anyone wants some new 22 TCM take-off barrels I have several, cheap.
Might be good to have if you want a 22 TCM carbine or shoot a LOT and need a replacement barrel.
