Ahhh, the best part. That's with my homemade reloads of a copper plated 180 grain HP's and using HP38 powder.

Don't have a chrony, and this was done at 25 yards with like a 20 mph crosswind. I was just firing it for the first time to see how it grouped.

My only thing I have found so far I do not like. The bolt does NOT lock back after the last round is fired. Unless I'm actually counting the rounds fired I'm pulling the trigger on an empty mag a lot. Not to mention a lot of my mags have the Chip McCormick springs and followers so that some of my mags hold 9 rounds. If the mags are already loaded I can't tell if I just stuffed an 8 or 9 round mag in.

Do you know what the whole rig weighs? I couldn't find any info on the website. From the youtube videos, it looks like the 10mm has a bit of a bark.

Gawd this thing is just too fun to shoot. The red/green dot scope makes it awesome!

Two total knee replacements kind of ended my hunting days. Why?

I'd rather have a 41 marlin.

Yonder: What are the negative ramifications of turning the barrel profile down? I realize you do not want to change the bolt because of the blow back action but I do not understand your caution about a lighter barrel within reason. I like my MecTech but it sure is heavy and the barrel profile seems excessively thick. Thanks for the help.

If the bore isn't centered, slimming the barrel down can make things go a bit wonky. You may end up with a barrel that walks shots to one side as it heats up.
Either way, the barrel isn't that thick that you'll save a bunch of weight by re-profiling it. I shortened one to 11", and can barely tell a difference in weight; most of the weight is the bolt.

Can't walk without pain. Can't even climb into a tree stand and just sit. Sure as heck can't drag a dead deer nowhere.

I have a 10mm MP5. I reload my own rounds and get 1590fps avg out of 165gr HP using 800x. Are you a Class III dealer? Only ones I'm aware of and saw were in hands of FBI. My issued MP5/40 is long gone but was a tack driver. Miss it every day. Never chronoed it, but it smacked steel much harder than same rounds from pistol.
