So who's gonna let something slip I know someone on here is on the list!
Wolf Announces A1 SBR, and 9x39mm Uppers (Skip to 1:15 if you're not interested in their new T91 12.5" uppers) TL;DW: testing and evaluation uppers and ammo is set to be in the hands of the media types starting towards the end of next week. The hype is REAL |

Damn kinda looks like an AK and Sig 551 had a fuck fest. I like it.
Good looking rifle, and from what it sounds like that 9x39 will be awesome suppressed. |

What does this do better than 300bkl View Quote It's a military round designed to address the issues encountered on the battlefield with 200 grain 7.62x39mm subsonic ammunition. Basically it throws a larger diameter (.36 caliber) and heavier (278 grain) bullet. I spoke with the engineering team of one well known ammunition manufacturer well versed in the 300 BLK and they stated it would be much easier for them to produce effective subsonic expanding ammunition in 9x39 than 300 BLK as it was both larger in diameter and had more mass. They are also looking into doing supersonic ammunition for it as well. |

You had damn well better be. That short Type 91 upper looks like fun, and I really don't care for piston driven or short ARs anymore. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted:
What does this do better than 300bkl View Quote Well it is a significantly larger bullet. Also it doesn't have an army of fanboys howling about it. I'm interested in it because I really, really want a Vintorez. That or a Thunder. Not because it's the shit, but because it's a very interesting gun. And I'd take an AR15 in that caliber just to piss you off! |

Any word on the barrel lengths for 9X39?
I might be interested if it has okay performance out of very short barrels... |
|
Will a 7.62x39 mag feed this 9x39 ammo? Is the back end of a 9x39 round identical to a 7.62x39?
If so, I have an idea |

I'm no 9x39 expert, but it sure doesnt look straight walled in the video. View Quote It's got a bottle neck on it. Is 223 Ohio legal? To my untrained eye, Gunwriter has actually played with genuine rounds so can correct, they look, again to me, like they share the same case as the 7.62x39 and are just necked up. If so, would those C-Products, or whatever they're called these days, magazines just work? |
|
Quoted: Case head is the same but 9x39 has less case taper, more like 6.5 Grendel (IIRC). I'm betting 6.5 Grendel mags will be the ticket View Quote If I could do a barrel swap and use the same 7.62x39 BCG that would interesting. Somebody with one of those rounds on hand needs to stick it in an AK mag and tell us if it looks like it belongs. |

From wiki
Attached File Basic info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/9 It's #5 The gun originally made for it: the Ruskie Groza: Looks like the Ruskies also make this "Vintorez" rifle for that caliber too: http://www.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=1105 Here is the gun: And here is a look at the highly-refined, advanced Soviet silencer core! |

I'm interested to see developments around this cartridge.
Anyone know if Wolf will ever bring us steel case 300 blackout? |
|
Wiki indicates the bullet diameter is:
9.25mm which = .364" Closest Sierra bullet I see is a .358 diameter. Looks like reloading for this is a no-go. |

Please God, no stupid M4 profile barrel like the Grendel uppers.

I'm pretty excited for this. I know a few people who were going to buy .300brownout guns, but have put plans on hold because of this.
