I've been thinking that a .30 Carbine upper would be great.
Keep us posted. |

Sir,
So are you still in business or not? I'm confused because som time ago you had stated that you had stopped doing the gun business. None the less, I AM quite interested in this and would like more information. It is my opinion that this would make an interesting short barelled upper or a pistol. [email protected] |

Tromix was never out of business. I simply took a break...like temporary retirement. There is a good chance I might do it again.

MartyW said Olympic showed a 30 carbine AR at the shot show. He said it took carbine mags.

Yeah, I heard about that. If I had known that Oly was going to do it, I never would have started the project. Too late now. Probably just end up as another Tromix loser like the other mountain of prototype wastes in my past.

My question on the .30 Carbine is why? Not to sound critical--I am actually curious. I recall that the Israelis did the same thing in recent years with the Galil. Made for an interesting looking and handy little weapon. What are the advantages to using that round?

I saw the 30 carbine upper from Oly at the Shot Show and it took 30 carbine mags.

I would love a .30 carbine upper! Especially if it takes M1 carbine mags. I brought this idea up over a year ago and got flamed for it. I guess I should've made it myself which I still might!

You know, I was looking at all the 30 carbine ammo piled up around the shop. All those pre-ban mags. You know Tony, I would be interested just to have one to shoot up all that ammo I cannot sell.
I don't think it will wind up in the scrap heap. Your stuff is just plain better than olyarms. Drop me a line when its done! |

Quoted: (SNIP, SNIP) With a 50AE style magazine in place it should run the factory 30 Carbine ammo just fine, or you could load it with a 200gr bullet to duplicate the 300/221 for subsonic use. I guess you could call it a 30 Whisker. With the long bullet, it should run from an unmodified magazine. (SNIP, SNIP) Well, for us that have a 50AE/440Corbon mag, it's no problem. But the option of running longer bullets seems interesting. One can have "similar" ballistics to the Whisper w/out getting new brass (and related reloading stuff). Granted, one would have to get 30 Carbine loading stuff, but the brass is available more then the Whisper. |

What are the specs as far as lengths and widths compared of a standard AR mag compared to a carbine mag. How does the carbine mag latch in?
Could a lower be modified to take carbine mags and then AR mags with no special block? That would be awesome! 150 grain mil-surp bullet loaded backwards should feed from a standard carbine mag, and be cheap to boot! |

Well Tony? Any update on the 30 Carbine upper? I saw 30 Carbine listed on your site, so I'm wondering.... What's the mag situation (ie blocking off the mag like w/ the 50 AE rounds?) Just wondering....

Last time I spoke to Tony he said he had shelved the idea since Oly was doing it. Shame.

I took the blank that was slated for the 30 carbine and made it into a 30/221 and sold it.
The 30 carbine project is dead. |
