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.

I had one in 45acp. Really enjoyed it. Not a sniper rifle but with enough hold over I could hit the gong at 200 meters.

I've thought they were interesting, too. Let us know how it shoots & functions

What a cool toy! And the extra barrel length will make the already powerful 10mm cartridge and really make it SLING stuff!
Are you going to hunt any medium sized game animals with it? Within its range, should be good on deer and hogs and similar.

My buddy has an Olympic Arms 10MM that runs great. Not sure the price but he doesn't break the bank for firearms?

Two total knee replacements kind of ended my hunting days. This is a target using the Dan Wesson Razorback. I can only think with a 11 inch longer barrel it will beat this.

Is it classified as an sbr?

I picked up a 9mm version for a Glock (none are SBR).
They run fine, but are stupidly heavy. That is my only complaint... that... and they can pick spot rust pretty durn easy.
I plan to take #2-#3 off the barrel diameter (way oversized (i.e. raw blank diameter is SAME for all calibers IIRC)).

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Is it classified as an sbr? They aren't even a firearm, and can be shipped right to your door. If you were to cut the barrel shorter than the 16" they come with, you'd have to put it on an SBR frame to be legal, or remove the stock and use it as a pistol. Otherwise, with the 16" barrel, they just make your pistol a rifle (well, carbine technically). CashisKing, be careful lightening the barrel profile too much. I cut down one in 357 Sig that has the bore off-center in the middle. It shoots great and doesn't seem to hurt anything, but if you slimmed it down too much, it could be a problem. Most of the weight on these is in the bolt anyway; you don't want to lighten the bolt.

Well, If I wanted a pistol I also have a long slide 10mm. I wanted a carbine. Can't wait to see what a 16" barrel does with a 10mm round.

Beretta Storm in a .40 is pretty cool.
Not a 10, but close enough.

They are heavy because they are blow back actions, thus the heavy bolt. Had my 45acp converted to 460 Rowland. Cost of ammo took a lot of the fun out of it.

I put a Parker Hale 308 sniper barrel on a Tokarev pistol and chambered it for 30 Mauser. 15 years ago I converted a 1903 Turkish Mauser to 45acp. Rifles that shoot pistol cartridges are more fun and less useful than other rifles. I can let other people at the range shoot them, and they like the lack of recoil.

I have a 10mm MP5. I reload my own rounds and get 1590fps avg out of 165gr HP using 800x.

jcurlee21, WELCOME to 24hrcf!
I would like to see what my handload that pushes 180HP's out the snout at 1375 fps will do when fired from one of these uppers with a 16 inch or longer barrel. If one uses the old (and misproven) 40FPS per inch of bbl, my 180's at 1375 load would theoretically sling that 180gr Gold Dot out at about 1815fps. THAT would be some hog killin power right there, not that the load out of my 1911 left any doubt.
Gandog, do you mind me asking where you obtained such a thing, how to get ahold of them, and how much this conversion cost you? Looks like LOADS of fun and some useful applications. My Lower will be Rock Island, but I see no reason my results will not also be very good.
