Is anyone running 10mm?
Had any problems? Recommendations? I've been looking to get one to go with my 10mm pistols |
|
I have a Glock Model 40, 10MM, with a Burris FF3 mounted on it.
Shoots great, takes the G-20 magazines as well. It shoots very, very well. Prior to putting the FF3 on it, it,as typical Glockish for me, shot to the left a little bit. After putting the FF3 on it, it shoots great. I did a bench rest shoot with it, and at 25 yards, it shoots around a 2 to 3 inch group, depending on my wrist and the rest. At 50 yards, it shoots a 4 inch group, +/- an inch. Amazingly, at 100 yards, the group is around 10 inches, in a tight rest. Pretty scary for a handgun. I took it to a qualifying shoot for the PD, and let the other guys shoot it, and at first they were a little intimidated by the "10MM" aspect, but that wore off quickly. I think at least 2 of them own the things now. I carry it out in the woods in an Alaskan Ultimate Holster, definitely not on duty. |

While not technically an AR-15 I have been looking at one of these.

Glock magazines, AR carbine butt stocks. They have a certain appeal. |

I've been looking to get one to go with my 10mm pistols I have a 10.5" 10mm built by Ron Williams at RMW XTREME, it is a DI gas gun that runs like a sewing machine . I use it on my MGI lower with glock 20 mags and also om my RMW XTREME grease gun lower with grease gun mags tweaked for the 10mm. It screams with 135gr loads and is a ton of fun with 180-200gr loads. The AR 10mm is a great gun, I always wanted an HK MP10 but the AR 10mm DI has filled that want.

I gather that 10mm is a little too powerful to run as a blowback system? Sven Manticore Arms You do start to get case blowby as your loads get really hot. Other than a dirty chamber and cases no ill effects. I've really pushed loads with a 180gr fmj out of a 16" barrel, the primers are near failure but still no issues with it being blowback. The cases do get trashed as the primer pockets stretch so bad they barely hold primers afterwards. |

DI 10mm upper isn't a problem..(I have several) BUT.......reliably feeding it is a bitch......the width of the feed lips of a Glock mag isn't wide enough to pass an AR bolt and carrier IF you get it at the proper height to feed correctly....get the mag low enough to clear the bolt locking lugs, the round wants to flip up and jam between the extension and the breech face of the barrel. I have ideas for an action to work with Glock magazines....but the best solution for a conventional DI is a double stack double feed magazine.....(just finished the new 45 mag so we are working on it) I have shot an Olympic 10mm and found it unpleasant....but I have a customer that is begging me to try a blowback.....gonna try and whip one up in the next week or so and get creative with the buffer and see what happens..... |
