Where to get one? I need it to go with my CZ 57. The Tok round rocks.Single shot bolt action in 7.62x25
I made it , It's a pretty simple action . It has a full diameter bolt so I only had to cut the locking lugs in the front. Takes a rem 700 trigger. I'll post a link for more informationWhat action is is based on if you don’t mind me asking
Fortunately, you are ready for the Zulu's!Probably most of them?
WW1 or WW2 might start up again. Or the Civil War. Grizzly bears on the way to my mailbox? Buffalo herds may overtake the Northeast, I wouldn’t want to be stuck with less than three rifles for that. They may introduce lions and rhinoceros to my neighborhood. I might have to fight some Zulus, who can tell? You can never be too prepared.

I have had one of those on my "Acquire" list for a long time. Never knew anyone who owned one.LeMat 3rd Model (F.lli. Pietta reproduction)
One of my most prized sidearms. Had it since 2003.

9 round - .44 (.451) caliber - cylinder
1 round - .20 gauge smoothbore central axis barrel. Can be loaded with a charge of buckshot, a "buck and ball" load of a .63 caliber paper patched ball with 3 buckshot balls sitting on top, or a single .63 caliber paper patched ball or conical slug.
I have a shoulder and belt holster for it and yes I carry it from time to time during hunting and backpacking trips. Nice and big square sight picture. Goes boom every time, never had a misfire. Ridiculously strong mainspring but it's perfectly fine, I am not doing quickdraw shots with this iron...
I went a slightly different route and used 5.7x28. Although I didn’t build my action, I’m not that cool yetI made it , It's a pretty simple action . It has a full diameter bolt so I only had to cut the locking lugs in the front. Takes a rem 700 trigger. I'll post a link for more information
Sunday GunDay: Home-Built 7.62×25 Tokarev Custom Rifle « Daily Bulletin
Here's something you've never seen before -- a full-size rifle chambered for the tiny 7.62x25 Tokarev round. This rifle was a fun project by Les E., aka scasa in our AccurateShooter Forum. This is a true home-built rifle.bulletin.accurateshooter.com

Search "Mo-Skeet-o" and you'll find out.I have an ancient single shot 22lr bolt action smoothbore with a 26" barrel around here somewhere. No idea what they were thinking when it was originally made.
Thats an FR-8. Its Spanish, not Mexican.I would be hard pressed to find a odder rifle than my Mexican La Caruna circa 1951 in .308 Caliber.
Shot everything from Armadillos & Skunks to White Tails. Never a glitch or misfire , only bad thing is she kicks like a muleCan’t hurt the looks , plus I paid $35.00 for her

10-4 !Thats an FR-8. Its Spanish, not Mexican.
That's where the cleaning kit is stored and it also serves as a bayonet attachment point.10-4 !
I was kinda closeKnew it was older than me , thought Mexican for some reason?
Still kicks like a El Mule
I don’t know what this removable cylinder thing was meant for , it will hold 1 .308 round or whatever ...matches , folding $?
Thanks for the info !! Didn’t know it’s history. I‘ve used it as my main truck gun for yearsThat's where the cleaning kit is stored and it also serves as a bayonet attachment point.
On a Cetme its located atop the barrel atnd fits up in the end of the cocking tube.
For a bit of history, the small ring FR-7 entered service in the mid- late 50's when Spain was transitioning to the Cetme Modelo 58 B. At the time there wasnt yet enough Cetmes to completely re-equip and for training purposes, so the FR-7 filled the gap. It and the Cetme B were chambered for the less powerful 7.62x51 Cetme cartridge.
Later, in the mid 60's, Spain adopted the full power 7.62x51 NATO round and the upgraded Cetme Modelo 58 C rifle, the FR-8, also chambered in 7.62 NATO, replaced the FR-7 in the supplemental/training role until enough Cetme C's were on hand.
The FR-8 served well into the 80's with Police and Civil Guard units.
Winchester sold a smooth bore 22 also. I believe it was a model 73. My dad has one.Search "Mo-Skeet-o" and you'll find out.
And FWIW, Henry Repeating Arms makes a 22 smoothbore lever action called a "Garden Gun".
When I was a wee lad back in the early 70's Dad rabbit hunted with an old codger that carried a Winchester model 36 9mm rimfire "shotgun".
Still have a shell he gave me.
Last time I grouped, it was moa and better. Fairly light charge of 5.2g of Autocomp and a 40g Z/V/A max projectile. I have a 16 inch 1:14 twist barrel slinging them at a little over 2300fps. Could bump up closer to 6.0g and probably gain quite a few more fps, but that gets close to primer popping territoryI'm toying with the idea of a 5.7x28 was just going through my receiver blanks this morning. what kind of groups can you get with it?

Don't ever shoot it but am never selling it or giving it up.
It's not done with Communists. Allegedly. In Minecraft.
I fell into one of these during a trade yesterday at a show. Neat/odd for sureLeMat 3rd Model (F.lli. Pietta reproduction)
