M10 Brass catchers

[Down Zero]

Getting a new M10 after the paperwork process. Looking for a brass catcher (and other neat accs).
Thanks:laugh

Well try this for brass catchers...http://www.brasscatchers.com/brass.htm

I have a couple of theirs...But not for the M10...They are plastic that usually hold on by a friction fit...

I almost quit using them...Been going thru ammo faster than I can reload. So been using wolf and leaving it for the brass hounds!!! (yea I know steel case, but it has been disapearing)

Thanks. The one I used on an M11 was just a wire frame and small net bag attached. Was a press on fit, kept coming off during shooting and blocked the front sight. Might give brasscatchers a try.
:D

They usually held about 2 mags worth of brass. It could hold 3 or more but you increase a chance of having a jam...Biggest drawback is having to hold the gun so the brass doesn't want to come back toward the ejection port...Not sideways just not swing it around...If you follow...

Brian,
I wondered about the brass bouncing back into the bolt. The one I tried on the M11 couldn't do that very easily with the web bag. Better than picking up brass.

That was kind of what I was trying to say....The catcher goes to the right and then drops to the about 4 o clock position...If you follow....With a mag or 2 didn't have much of a problem.

I tried brass catchers. Then when I changed to side cockers, they wouldn't fit. So now I use Wolf and a magnet to pick up the cases. A clean range is a happy range.;)

I take it that Wolf works OK in your? I plan on reloading, which I am set up for my 1911's already. Also have a change kit for 9MM.
Wolf might be cheap enough to forget reloading.

That was about where I ended at. I went with the wolf and haven't really gone back...Don't know about the 10 in 9mm but the mac 10 in 45 eats wolf well. Just the cases look a little swelled.

The M11 and the uzis run the the wolf flawlessly...

At least with the wolf it got me to quit picking up the brass...Buy a case and see how you like it...Ammunitionstore.com has it for about $100 a case delivered....

Brian,
Thanks. My M10 is coming with a 9MM upper. I want to go with a 45 later. Might pick up a couple of 50 round boxes at the next gun show to try them out before going with a thousand.

Down Zero...Your M10...Does it have a pistol grip that is smooth all the way down? Or are there extrusions on the bottom where you insert the magazine? Reason I ask is that only the later, with extrusions, can be converted to 45ACP. The former is 9mm only. If 9mm only, you can still have a 45ACP grip welded on later on.

My M10 has an Uzi grip modification. It accepts any Uzi mags and drums. The stock grip is replaced with the Uzi grip and from there I have no clue. It fits my hand better than the stock grip and gives flexibility to change to 45 ACP upper. I am told by the seller (who comes with great references) that Uzi 45 ACP mags work but are scarce and are only 15 rounders. Hopefully this changes with the AWB demise. Unless "K" gets elected.

Ugh...Close but no cigar....

It must have had the small 9mm well and they bumped it up to a better Uzi well.

BTW The Uzi 45s had a mod to cut there grip off and put an M10 45 grip on.....Once you do that you can use grease gun mags...hold 30? rounds and they are a lot cheaper than the uzi mags...The gg mags are about 10-15$ the Uzi 45s are about $50 if you can find them....

BTW the M10 mag is pretty boxy and doesn't have much of a friendly grip...The uzi mag is pretty nice....I have heard of a few using the Uzi grip on the M10 or M11...It didn't seem quite as popular as the sten mag conversion....

Well with the ban over for the moment maybe we will be getting some good ideas with some higher capacity Uzi 45 mags...

I just returned from a machine gun shoot where I gave my 45ACP Mac10 a good workout. If you want 45ACP, convert to greasegun mags. The Mac runs fast. A 15 rd UZI mag will be empty before you realize you pulled the trigger. It would be a "burp". You need at least 30 rounds in any caliber mag to make it worth the effort.
