    I believe the rifle from the movie Aliens was in 10mm caseless. Not helpful at all but that’s the first thing I thought of in this case.

    I purchased a Hi Point 10mm carbine,loaded it with nasty stuff and threw it in closet.

    The uppers seem to be kinda high for a ar15 upper.I did however see one at
    https://limitlessamerica.com/10mm-8-m-lok-free-float-complete-upper/
    for $389 complete.Im waiting on that one as well.I also saw a barrel at
    jim bobs for $179.

    I did take it out one day and checked it.I shot 1 1/2 at 75 yards.I think I
    could do better with practice on it,seems to pretty accurate out of box for
    $289

    I like this quote: " It's reliable enough for the average shooter, and cheaper
    than the bar tab at the end of a good night."

    Blowback AR's have a lot of issues.

    Aside from spending a small fortune on a 10mm Kriss Vector, you're limited on options. If you don't want to spend a ton, you can buy a 10mm HiPoint Carbine.

    I don't know what the intended purpose or your budget are, so any recommendations will just be random firearm choices.

    I built my own and have had zero problems in 2 years. Glock mags tho, so all I have is 22 rounders.
    If Extar would ever get their ish together and follow up on their promise to produce and sell their EP pistols in 10 auto I would scoop one up. The 9mm version that I have has been rock solid.

    Not a carbine per se, but it’s getting the job done, especially for what I have in it. Anyone deciding to go this route, I highly recommend the Gibbz Arms upper set. And not just for the side charger.

    I have a TNW Aero carbine in 10mm and it's a good shooting rifle, takes glock mags, and no problems. Mine is also threaded and it's easy to take down for cleaning.
    You can also get kits for it to make it into a 357 Sig, 40 S&W, 9mm, 45acp and 45 Rowland.
    $199 to change it to 45 acp or Rowland, which just involves a barrel, bolt and magazine.
    More to change to 9mm, .40, .357 Sig since the magazines are smaller.

    Didn't H&K make a 10mm version of the MP5? Assuming you have a truckload of cash available?

    A sub 2000 in 10mm would be interesting. I had a camp 9 for a while (should never have sold it! ). That bolt slamming back and forth though was a lot for a 9mm. I can't imagine a 10mm wouldn't tear itself apart!
    A Ruger mini-14 in 10mm would be nice. So would a deerfield in either 10mm or .44 mag with a 10+ round mag.

    I just wonder why anyone would want a pistol caliber in a rifle.

    Plinking for fun maybe? Cheaper ammo. Less recoil. Less sound. Varmint control?

    I would never get one as I could have just as much fun with a 10-22, but I can see the appeal.

    I know the fbi has (Had)10mm Mp5’s I was told by a friend that had one they were getting rid of them. Still had some but not replacing as they went down. Maybe that has changed now?

    I believe a couple of local departments had 10mm mp5’s years ago. Of course the public buys their ammunition for them so there you go.
