I've Wanted A 10mm Carbine For So Long....

But them darned things are SO expensive. So I decided today to order a MechTech conversion unit. Guy at MechTech swears it will work with my Dan Wesson Razorback pistol.

Cool setup, let us know how it works.

They work well. I had one in 45 ACP. Just make sure you have a full power main spring. My pistol had a reduced power main spring (for trigger job) and it would not set off the primers probably 50% of the time.

 

[gandog56]

Still have the stock spring in it. Also have a spring assortment pack with different poundage springs.

It's here, it's here!
With my Dan Wesson Razorback 10mm as a lower:

Good looking rig. Let us know how it shoots.

Haven't played with one of those for a few years ago and they are really pretty good machines. I think you'll enjoy it.

Got one for the G20.
Shoots great. Stock op on ammo, it's easy to go through a lot of it.

 

[gandog56]

Yep, she's a keeper!

With all the pistol caliber carbines that have hit the market in recent years, I've wondered why firearms companies seem to ignore the 10 mag. I've shot a Beretta CX 4 in .45 and loved it. They also make them in 9mm and (I believe) .40 S&W, but no 10 mag
AR 9mm parts abound....no 10 mag
There are so many different brands in the other 3 pistol calibers that I can't keep track. I think they're missing the boat.

...especially 10mm manufacturers. Seems like that could help a lot with 10mm sales.

I can't imagine how fast and flat shooting that round would be from a 16" barrel, compared to other pistol caliber carbines

 

[gandog56]

So far the only dislikes I have is that the bolt does not lock back after the last round is fired. And I am limited to 10 round max magazines. Other than them, nothing else wrong! I still have yet to have a single failure to anything. Unless the mag is empty it keeps going boom every time I've pulled the trigger.

Somebody needs to get around to making something like a m1 carbine in 10mm.

gandog56 can you chrono it?

I'd love a 10mm AR platform. Olympic Arms used to make one. At least I think it was Olympic Arms.

But I hear good stuff about the mechtech.

How about a Ruger Mini 10mm? . Or a Marlin Camp Rifle in 10mm that takes Glock mags?

No chrony. But I found this.

If you have a Glock 10mm pistol, they make these Mechtech conversions for them, too.
