I just learned about this rifle yesterday, and yes I know they don't offer it in 10mm. I did send the Company an e-mail asking if they would consider chambering the 10mm. It seems a natural to me. They chamber the 40 S&W and the system can take Glock 21 mags so...
Anyway, if this rifle appeals to anyone else drop them a line. Who knows???

If they make a 10mm that takes glock mags I would get the pistol.
It seems to me to be a natural. They're made for Glock mags. They make the .40 Version so they have barrels and bolts. Their mag housings are made to swap out...
My only question would be as with the Mech Tech being a blowback design, can it handle 10mm loads without ruining brass? Hopefully, they have a fully supported barrel.
I keep thinking about it so I sent them an email requesting it.
The response I got was they didn't have immediate plans for a 10mm but I wasn't the only one that had asked and maybe after they got their rimfire version launched they would look at it.
WOW. If it wasn't for the price, I would buy one.

Exactly, they aren't $800 guns. Relatively simple to build something similar if you have the tools.
I know several guys who have built guns close to that. And I will too once I get a lathe again.
I have been thinking about it a lot and I've been considering trying it. If you get the conversion done I will drive up there to see it run.
It would seem the 40cal rifle with the 45 mag well would be a go for 10mm, if the barrel was chambered for 10mm...

That was my thought. That's why I thought it was a natural for them. I really hope they decide to do it. In theory all they need is a reamer. They have the other components.
Superb design for a survival rifle IMHO: The ability to fire multiple pistol caliber rounds from the same platform just makes sense.
I really hope they make a 10mm!
I hope anyone that is interested in this rifle in 10mm takes the time to drop TNW a message.
Heck, even if you don't want and just stopped by to look, do me a favor and send them an e-mail. It can't hurt.
