There is such a version. I had one in SVN. Had to tweak the disconnector to go full auto, not designed too well, The selector switch was right there on the left side of the receiver between wood and metal.

With that pissant round, it needed all the help it could get. Still a pipsqueak pistol round.

For the record, “Galveston” was written about the Spanish-American War. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGFx_Y8r9TQ Queue up to about 7:03.
