    Default pistol carbine conversion

    I met up with a buddy of mine yesterday. He loaned me a carbine conversion kit to take home and try out. I'm not sure if it's real practical but it goes bang and that at least makes it fun to play with.

    I brought it home and installed my kimber on it. The slide is pulled of and the frame is installed on the "upper". It has a 16 inch barrel and shoots 45 acp.

    That is pretty cool. So many toys and so little time.

    It looks like that might be a Mech-Tech but there appear to be a lot of makers.

    Cool?

    Now he can't carry it in a holster,

    and he don't have a real rifle.

    What's the cool part?

    The fact that he doesn't have to carry it in a holster and it's not really a rifle. Do we have to explain everything to you?

    It gives him an excuse to buy a rifle scabbard. If you can't keep up, take notes. Sheesh!

    is it more accurate?
    It bothers me how someone with new shoes can come up to me asking for money.

    Yes, if I am going to operate as the resident oppositional-defiant-crackpot I need complete explaination just to clearify things for everyone else!

    Okay, we'll take it step by step. This is a crayon and this is paper.

    it's a mech-tech. I haven't shot it yet so I don't know how well it shoots.

    My question exactly...

    randyt, you need to shoot it and tell us!
    Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.

    You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.

    yes I do LOL, I've been working on project overload for some time now and now it's garden planting time. It would be considerably easier to find time if this pesky job of mine wasn't in the way but I'm not complaining just observing LOL.

    Ship it to me or Rick. We have already paid our dues and retired. We have plenty of time!

    I even have my own ammo in various bullet forms and can function test as well as do the accuracy check. I also have an assortment of magazines and would be happy to tell you which brands work best.

    Just to make it easy, you can remove the frame and just send the kit, I can furnish a receiver.

    Bet I could make a holster for it too. They used to think that was a pretty good idea.

    Oh sure - first you bad mouth it, and then you try and take away the work of the Quality Control Department.

    I couldn't put you and Rick out like that, it's asking a lot LOL. In the little ky town I was born in old fellows sat on benches in the town square. They had a little chunk of wood and a jackknife. They sat there telling stories and making long shavings. I wouldn't want to impose on you guys. LOL

    I don't live in Kentucky so that wouldn't work for me. Send me the weapon and I'll use KYRat's ammo. Then I'll send it on to Crash. That should make everyone happy.
