Hey all, does anyone know if on the early RPB mac 10's open bolt semi-auto's if it's just the bolt & upper components that allow it to fire from an open bolt or does the lower receiver frame any different from a closed bolt SA Mac???
Also is obtaining a lower flat and jig to bend & weld lower considered the same as an 80 or 100% AR lower, meaning ok to build and have with no serial #, I'm in a state where pistols/rifles are not registered.

Thanks Jim

IIRC the open bolt and closed bolt semi receivers are different. Something about a different type sear block attached to the inside of the receiver so it's impossible to fit a FA upper. I might be wrong it's been a long time.
Edit: lower receiver.

Ok so it's the OB lower as well that's different, on the flats they all look alike. But I think the m10 45 & M11-9 RPB's are the same lower, it just the M11a1 380 that's smaller in width I believe.

The fire control parts on the OB lower is instead on a U-channel that is welded to the lower so the FA parts cannot be installed.  Otherwise, all the parts are the same as the SMG.

I found out today it's call a sear carriage the SA open bolts have welded into the frame. So this idea I had is going no where. Back to finding a decent open bolt SA for a realistic price.
Thanks guys.

Building a new OB Semi-auto is illegal and a good way to end up in prison.

Yeah I'll +1 that. Nothing wrong with learning but I got the impression it was a project idea. I've seen a couple for sale before locally for probably $500-$600

OB macs are not $500-600 I'll buy 10, they sell on avg $1500.00 & up. unless completely hammered.

and my idea was to find an existing lower but had to be sure between rpb, swd/cobray what the lower receiver differences where if any bc I found complete new OB upper parts kits less barrel & receiver. If I buy an existing lower it's not considered a new OB SA build. the lower I saw for sale was closed bolt, no sear carriage, so wouldn't have worked or been legal with that used lower.
My total cost would have been $700 instead of $1700 cost.

I've seen 2 open bolts sell on our local gun trader and the guys were asking around 500-600 for them. And they had open bolt in all caps in the ad, they sold fast, but just saying you might keep your eye open

I'm sure they did sell fast , well I check GB which is tough overpriced or bidding idiots drive price to high.(cause they gotta have it now), I check local traders but not much in them, even local pawn/gunshops only find newer mpa's. Nice guns, but not collectable OB SA.

GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won  a bid on GB for $706.01 unreal, the seller had it listed as Cobray m11a1 and start price as what a cobray m12 would go for, But clearly in pics and on gun was RPB Industries sm 11a1.and it's OB in all pics, so I bid, another guy bid it to $701 I got it for $5.00 more, never thought that would happen, the cheapest on there is $1500.00 BIN price. I can't wait, I'm picking up a closed bolt like new tomorrow and probably this one next week, too bad they don't take the same mags.  Yeee Haaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
