Anyone know anything about these?

This company makes uppers to turn any 1911, xD or Glock frame into a pistol caliber carbine - including 9mm, .40 S&W, .45ACP, 10mm, and .460 Roland.

No permanent modification required. Just a magnetic feed ramp extension and your pistol frame....

Around $430 - so not bank-breaking either.

But the “lower” is a pistol. Isn’t that illegal?

Rifle 》pistol is illegal but this is fine I think.

Why is the Mechtech a current viral topic? Did they do something new? 3 people have messaged me a Mechtech video on Facebook, and I’ve seen a bunch of non-gun people share it like it’s some new product.

I found an article from 2004 about MechTech.

I had one of their old model ones, I liked it a lot but like everything else gun related I ever owned I sold it. Guy I sold it to liked it a lot too.

They are Very Heavy, I looked at one years ago.

That and the little metal block that is really easy to lose were my two issues with it.

It was a peach to shoot though.

Good question! As long as the barrel and or overall length is greater then the specs below you are good to go!
Otherwise you need to do a SBR BATF&E and tax stamp.

Short-barreled rifle (SBR) is a legal designation in the United States, referring to a shoulder-fired,
rifled firearm, made from a rifle, with a barrel length of less than 16 in (41 cm) or overall length of less than 26 in (66 cm).

I really want one for my Glock 20, 10mm carbine would be a nice house gun. I really do not like not having a last round hold open bolt.
