Check reviews at cabelas first. They carry them. I WAS considering one. Was.

I did check some reviews and like you changed My mind.
I ordered a MechTech upper instead. Very nice people and pretty helpful. |

I’ve had a TNW ASR 10mm carbine for years, no issues. Had it before I got my G40.
I just ran S&B, Magtec and Sig Elite. Kept the hot stuff for the g40. Never had any failures or stoppages. The trigger isn’t great, and it’s proprietary. They do make a 2 stage upgrade but I’ve never felt the need to upgrade. Only issue I had was a c clip popped off and I lost it. TNW sells every single part including individual pins and clips for cheap. The Mectech upper is quite a bit heavier but for sustained hot loads would probably be a better choice. |

Basically, stated the systems are rated for +P loads, but not +P+. He also advised me not shoot any S&B 10mm ammo. |

I love mine. No problems of any kind. Also have a CMMG 10mm and actually like the TNW more. Especially for the money.

I see you elected not to get the TNW but for others that might be considering a TNW:
I don't have a 10MM but my 9mm TNW has been nothing but a headache. It jams about every three rounds. It is the worst firearm I have ever owned. Customer service at TNW is awful. Only after contacting the original seller did they respond. It's been back to their factory twice and it still jams about every third shot. I've done everything I know to do to make it run and it just won't. I know there are others that have had good luck, but I wouldn't take a chance. Good luck! |

Tech stated that S&B factory 10mm is loaded slightly longer than other 10mm factory ammo. Said brass was ok for reloading. I hate S&B primer pockets. Always way to tight. |

Like last time, with transit times I lost use of it for 5 weeks. I've run 60 rounds through it since it came back without issues, but I fully expect it to start stovepiping again. When it does, I'll scrap it and move on to a Ruger, JRC, or other takedown model. |

From what I've read the earlier TNW Aero's had serious reliability issues but the newer ones run great. I wanted one in .45acp but the doubts still linger. I tried to check one out at Cabelas but they wouldn't let you dry fire guns to check the triggers after being bought by BPS. I refused to buy guns from them after that.

I received my mech tech upper last week and am having a lot of failure to feed issues.
Waiting to hear from mech tech on a solution. When it runs, it runs great. But after 200 rounds it should be broke in. |

I have a pretty early 9mm TNW carbine. It has run well for me.
When they released the 10mm version, I bought the appropriate conversion parts from them. The first one I got had some problem with the bolt, IIRC, and I had to send it back for a replacement. When it returned, I shot it some and it worked pretty well. My only beef with it is that the 10mm lower and the 9mm lower are slightly different so that I have to adjust the posts to make one fit after having the other installed. So it isn't a quick swap over like it is supposed to be. Rob |

Mech Tech had me tweak the extractor spring and my carbine is running great.
They even sent me an extra spring just in case. Very happy with their customer service. |
