There are Oly and I think a few others that will make a custom gun for you. Also there is a company called Feather...something that has a 10mm.

I have two of their old "pre-ban" .22 rifles and love them, but I have no experience with their centerfire products, new or old.

A mech-tec upper mated to your 1911 or glock lower. I have a glock .45acp lower mated to the mech-tec
10mm upper. I have always liked 10mm handguns but a 10mm carbine is super sweet.

None that are "high quality" and available, if you exclude AR and MP5-style guns.

There was a 10mm M1 Carbine, IIRC, as well as a 10mm Thompson at one time.  It's probable that with a lot of work, you could get a Marlin Camp Carbine to work in 10mm as well.

Frankly, I can't see any reason why you wouldn't want a clone of the MP5/10 ... it's really the only quality, factory 10mm carbine ever made, with available factory parts and magazines.  I love mine.

I have been down the 10mm MP5 road before; It was a money pit.

Even AFTER replacing many of the internal parts with HK, it still was ammo sensitive.. The  builder (Jayson at IGF) also suggested replacing the bolt eventually... Thats ANOTHER $500.. With that $500, and the proceeds from the sale, I bought an HK94..

10mm is best in an Oly Arm 10mm carbine available to civilians.

Sorry Charlie but no one makes a complete 10mm carbine unless you can score an HK MP5/10!



Search and you'll find pix of my 10mm Oly thumper.
