What rifle for .40 cal?

[tranger2]

Would like something to shoot .40 cal from a rifle platform. Anyone have personal experience?

I have heard the high point carbines ate nice, and they come in .40 if I recall correctly.

I've seen 9mm in the AR platform. No reason a .40 wouldn't work there as well.

I've seen build threads on arfcom and M4carbine.net forums for .40SW ARs.

I would love to have a SBR'd 10mm!

I'm pretty sure it would need to be gas operated with some lockup. But .40 will work straight blowback with some fiddling.

Ruger P4 carbine

T/C Contender, Encore or H&R can all be made into a .40 caliber...

I rock the gen 2 sub 2000 in a 40. takes glock mags so its a nice compliment to my G22. I had a gen one in 9. I think I prefer the gen one. The sights require a little work on the gen 2 since they are screwed on and are supose to hold 0 with a set screw. The 40 has knocked my set screw loose twice with recoil causing my front site to drift bad. locktyte or optics are strongly recomended.

No personal experience in .40 cal but my Hi-Point 45acp rifle shot well and cycled without a hiccup.

Now You did not say 40S&W
So could i assume you mean 40 cal.
So maybe a 38-40 rifle.
No that is not 38 cal.. It actually uses a .401" bullet.
What is the goal of your quest?

This is a 38-40 that looks like fun to own.
No longer available but nice eye candy.

So what's wrong with a Sharps or rolling block in 40-65

My Beretta CX4 carbine in 40 S&W is my favorite HD and range gun. With a Sierra Papa trigger job and a Trijicon RMR it's just about perfect.
