spanish destroyer rifles in 9mm

[dlbleak]

saw a few of these over at the show. i was not aware of them until then. seems they were mainly in 9mm largo but a few are available in 9mm parabellum. the early ones were double stack mags holding 10 rounds i think. the later onesd had single stacks. i think i may have to add one to the collection but prices seem all over the place, ranging from 250 to over 500. does anyone have one? or know where some are? i would want the 9mm para chamber of course.

I haven't seen them in 9x19 before. If I did, my safe would be a little more crowded.

its seems they are out there but will cost a few more bucks. i wouldn't mind a largo just would like to avoid another gun that i would have to load for. an early one with the double stack mag in 9 para would be pretty damn cool.

I guess since it's a bolt, you could just line the chamber for the last 4mm and safely chamber 9x19. Wouldn't be hard to make something with just a drill press really, or go extra ghetto and use 4mm of a casing and some red locktite.

yes, my limited research has mentioned "conversions".

how about a 38 super chamber. would only take some small mods to work.

I don't load .38 super or largo so either would be a new caliber for me. I suppose .38 super brass is much more common though.

What would be awesome is to rechamber it for .357 maximum!

They are fun guns to shoot. Its like shooting a .22. Going rate for one in decent shape is around $300. I should have bought one of those at the W show. Sarco has tons of 9mm largo ammo. Last I knew of.

century is the absolute best source of ammo at about $135/case.

odd that these are popping up at gunshows now. 20 years ago maybe, but now. Maybe folks are just liquidating old surplus, especially fearing the ammo supply will eventually dry up.
