DIY PCC Concept Project (self.general)

I’ve recently built a Rebel-9. It runs beautifully and made me wonder, “why not other calibers?” There are many 9mm PCCs designs currently and I wanted to spice things up and give a go at a DIY bolt for a different pistol round. My thought is to scale the size and weight of the bolt to appropriately accommodate said round (5.7, 10mm, 45acp) with SCS bolt face. Would use AR Barrel. Let me know if there are any ideas or suggestions. Also let me know if there is a reason this hasn’t been done before and am biting off more than I can chew lol. Thanks!

I wouldn't give people saying it won't work much weight in my decision of what you decide to pursue. It's takes considerably less effort to list off a few reasons (That doesn't mean they're not valid ) why you'll encounter difficulties with a given endeavor rather than providing suggestions because that requires original thinking.

Have said that I am capable of original thought
And I too have built a rebel 9! I would love one in .22lr .... I know that's probably the last pistol caliber cartridge you wanted to hear suggested .
