Anyone ever seen or have any experience with this conversion?
No FFL is required to purchase these tactical carbine uppers as the Glock or 1911 lowers are used. http://mechtechsys.com/index.php It looks like the answer I'm looking as far as a tactical carbine round availability goes. I already have a good all round long distance carbine and have been looking to get an AR but dont like the idea of buying another round. I have a 1911 and thought this setup was nice for tactical and practicality. Havent yet read much about it as I just seen this conversion in shotgun news. Price looks good. No FFL is required to purchase these tactical carbine uppers as a Glock or 1911 lower are used. |

Anyone ever seen or have any experience with this conversion? One guy said this set up is now his "Go to" gun over a 556. And these are highly accurate from some testimonials I've read. |

The problem is you still just have an anemic pistol round with a few more fps because of a longer barrel. Just because you put a longer barrel on a pistol a rifle this does not make. It would be fun to have or for someone small or very weak. As a go to gun, if rifle caliber firearms are available, this is a no go.

I'm looking for something like this in a SHTF get out of dodge in a quick hurry. Its really just a modern day tactical semi auto Tommy gun having no FFL paper trail. |

That is a decent option if you have a 1911. If you had a glock though I don't really think that it is worth it. You can buy a keltec sub 2000 that takes the same mags as your glock for less money than that upper....and you still have a fully functioning side arm instead of one in parts. For a model with a fixed stock, you're at an OAL of 32-33 inches. Why not consider getting a draco AK, or even just a yugo underfolder, which will give you a short OAL than this thing, WITH a stock AND a much more powerfull round. Realy though, if pistol cal carbines are what you want, look at the kel tec, as BC stated, especialy if you have a glock. |
