A friend's brother manufactures these carbines and he'll be getting a couple here in a week or two. Anyone interested on taking a look? I'll probably have the opportunity to bring one to a pizza night, either taken-down or left in the car so we don't have issues at IPC.

EDIT: I'll have one of these at pizza 8/20.

I wouldn't mind seeing one but the 9mm thing isn't much of a turn on.

I'd be more interested in a .45 version, or a 45 pistol version that accepts c-mags.

Jeff · « **Reply #3 on:** August 07, 2009, 06:45:08 PM »

Yea, a .45ACP C-Mag.

That looks like something that my nephews would love to have at the range.

Pretty neat! Price on them?

e11charlie · « **Reply #6 on:** August 09, 2009, 08:20:16 AM »

Definately need a price. I like the design.

9Shooter · « **Reply #7 on:** August 09, 2009, 09:45:01 AM »

MSRP: $650
Optional BUIS: $40

Iam in for one. Is he taking orders? What kind of mags do they use?

9Shooter · « **Reply #9 on:** August 09, 2009, 11:52:43 AM »

I'll try to get more info. I should be able to get my hands on one pretty soon now. I've been told this is the production model, but he welcomes feedback. I'll bring up a .45 version, mag type, group discount, etc and pass on what I hear.

something that accepts a cheap and common large capacity mag would be cool, with a threaded barrel to accept suppressors.

Here are all the answers from the manufacturer:

It takes any magazine that is compatible with the Colt 9mm carbine. However, some work better than others. We supply the carbines with 1 magazine, a modified Uzi 32 rnd. steel mag. Additional magazines are available from us.

We are working on the .45 ACP version right now. (and working with ProMag to develop the accompanying magazine) We will have the .45 ready for the 2010 SHOT Show in Vegas.

The barrels are threaded for our proprietary flash hider. The threads are 9/16 - 18. That doesn't match anything normally used in the industry, but it works well for the 9mm barrels. A silencer manufacturer can usually adapt their product to fit whatever barrel thread that the customer needs. In the future, we will be offering suppressed carbines and integral suppressed barrel assemblies. We will also be making “SBR” style carbines. (Short Barreled Rifle)

There are no quantity discounts, just dealer discounts. We are keeping the cost to a minimum, and are only selling "dealer direct". That way we don't have to pay the distributor's mark-up, too.

We will need the dealer’s FFL on file and will ship pre-paid or COD. Credit terms will be offered when we have established a working relationship.

Well, Beta makes a C-mag for the Colt 9mm so that might work.

I don't like the oddball threads.

WTF · « **Reply #13 on:** August 11, 2009, 11:27:17 AM »

No Pistol versions planned?

Joey · « **Reply #14 on:** August 11, 2009, 11:42:31 AM »

It would be an interesting SBR/Suppressed combo.
Wonder if he would switch to a 9/16-24 thread, hate to use an adapter if I can help it.

9shooter you gonna be at Pizza night with a sample and so I can give a copy of my FFL?

9Shooter · « **Reply #16 on:** August 11, 2009, 03:30:45 PM »

I should be able to make pizza, yes. I don't have word yet on whether I'll have one to bring this Thursday for show and tell, but I'll post here as soon as I know.

e11charlie · « **Reply #17 on:** August 13, 2009, 12:05:18 PM »

Any word on if you will have a demo?

9Shooter · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2009, 12:12:15 PM »

I don't think I'll have it by tonight. When I originally talked to my friend, he said he should have a couple in a week or two. That was just about a week ago so it should be soon but I have not heard that they have shown up yet.

9Shooter · « **Reply #19 on:** August 19, 2009, 04:40:18 PM »

I am picking one of these up tonight and should have it at pizza tomorrow night for inspection. We'll figure out an appropriate way to check it out for anyone who is interested.

Try the Mens room.

Keebsley · « **Reply #21 on:** August 19, 2009, 09:28:27 PM »

With our new room, just bring it in a rifle case and we'll close the partition.

Jeff · « **Reply #22 on:** August 19, 2009, 09:57:07 PM »

That should work. We can now park on the west side and walk right into the room. However, before bringing a rifle in lets talk to Matt (shift lead) and make sure he's OK with it.

If not, we'll send Challis in to "talk" to him

Hey, we know almost nothing about what happened. Remember, we are innocent until proven guilty. The Idaho Statesman article isn't proof.
