I am starting this same project

Pics of the converted SKS... it works as a simple blow back...gas system is inop...uses Glock mags

Can you help me get in contact with this gunsmith? I have a few ideas of how to do the conversion but information from someone who has done it would be a great help.

Sorry, the gentleman who did this build asked me not to give out his personal information. He is not an active gunsmith and only does builds like this for his own use. Even advising someone would leave him open to liability lawsuits which he does not carry insurance for.

I can try to get a few more pics of things like the bolt mods but I won't be seeing him for a few more weeks.

The Taylor Mk 1 drums were made many years ago late fifties-early sixties, today expect to pay 250-300 for one if you can find one. Pro Mag is making a 40 rounder but the one I bought wouldn't work even with ball in any of my 1911's.

Bolt pictures would be great I know I will need to weld the bolt and carrier together I just am not sure if I will need to grind the locking area off of the bolt. Also can you find out if he used a threded receiver or pressed and pinned the barrel.

So are there any legal ramifications to using the mech-tech type of gun?
I have an old non-ramped RIA double stack .45 that uses para P14 mags, and it would be cool to have a carbine that uses the same mags as my Para P14 pistol.

Since the BBL would be 16+",when made into the carbine, would it actually be classed as a long gun, even though the lower is a pistol?

Isnt it "illegal" to have a pistol with a stock on it?, even if the bbl has been changed to exceed 16"?

Neat concept, but damn that's ugly!

Sunday I traded my Feather USA 45 carbine that I had bought the previous weekend, for a Marlin Camp 45 The Marlin is what I originally wanted. So I'm a happy camper!

It is perfectly legal and it is legal to change it back and forth.

Anyone ever horse with an Enfield to make it take .45 and 1911 mags here? I have seen them somewhere online, looks pretty hardcore!

I'm surprised no one mentioned this before, AR45 made by Justin of CNC gunsmithing fame. I always thought it would be cool to try sometime as I've always been a fan of the UMP, but this platform seemed to be less elite and more after market accessible.

 

[alfahornet]

Not cheap but an HK UMP/USC can be a lot of fun. I love shooting my UMP/USC conversion and the thing is dead accurate.

Hi Point just released a 45 cal carbine MSRP is around $330.00
Not sure I'd buy a first generation. I love my 9mm HP - just cheap fun.

Look for a real world price of $250 or so at the better shops.

I bought a Mech Tech on GunBrokers, it came with a Glock 21 Gen3; TruGlo scope; 4 13 rd magazines; NcStar light and laser; extended slide release for $750.00. I just could not pass on it.
