Thinking about 10mm AR again - RMW Extreme - what barrel length

sstewart · February 25 2015 03:26:39 PM MST

Nope. This is an AR. With special grease gun magazines with an AR type lower because it is a pistol caliber. Normal gas impingement AR stuff.

How do the 10mm offerings from RMW and Thureon compare?

No experience with Thureon. RMW is an AR platform. It is gas not blow back.
Therefore the parts are more standard to AR like the lower parts kit. Triggers, stocks etc.

I see, that makes sense. I just briefly looked at the Thureon online earlier today. I emailed them to check on pricing but havent heard anything yet.

Hopefully Pablo will report his shooting experiences soon. He had some magazine issues which RMW resolved.

RMWextreme work is superb. But you assemble the lower. Pretty easy. The upper is very nice. The drawback? GG magazine adaptation. I've had issues. ....

These issues seem fixed when I dry feed the gun........dry cycle.........I will be firing it this Saturday.

The magazines are not uniform to start, but you can improve them, it just takes a little work. When I am complete and have time I will post details. Maybe in a separate thread.

Ron Williams of RMW built me a DDLES AR/Glock mag lower and a 10mm 16" upper in December, 2013. It has ran great. For Christmas of 2014 I had him build me a .45acp 16" upper for the same lower. It too runs great.

With the Glock lower I can use any G20 or 21 magazines. I also have several of the KCI Korean 26 round .45acp mags. I slightly modified 2 of these by bending the feed lips in slightly and use them with 10mm.

Here is the 10mm;

I have to say, if you don't want to battle magazine issues, stick with Glock. BUT if you want more than 30 rounds, you will do mighty battles with grease gun magazines......blasting 33 HOT 10mm rounds...it will take awhile to wipe that smile off.

Today I was prepping 307 10mm cases before I dunk them in the wet rotary tumbler. It's just too easy running up big ammo amounts with a 10 mm carbine!
