I'm Back

[lobo]

Finally!! Got the stamp for my Mac-10 45 about a year ago and then purchased a Viper 45 suppressor and just now got the stamp and picked it up and mounted it. I have 8 GG mags and loaded them all up today and when I find some time I will go fire it for the first time at my local indoor range. Being a little bit chicken I loaded one mag with only five rounds in it and will fire it semi to get a feel for the gun, check the feed and function and loaded another mag with only ten rounds in it to ease in to rock and roll mode then the rest are fully loaded.
Today I disassembled it and greased it up good with umbrella grease and good oil.
Sorry that I don't know how to post pics or I would. This has been a long time in coming, but patience pays off in the end I guess.
Thanks to the many contributors to this site where I have learned a lot and purchased improvement parts from the advertisers.

Congratulations!! I love my m10-45. It feels safer to shoot than my m11/9.

Long term you will either want a lage upper to slow it down or a ghost upper from practical solutions to run a more solid front grip and a red dot as the stock sights suck. If you go with the later I'd see if Sam will do the following modification to it or get with TSC Machine who did this to mine. He opened up the forward grip mount to work with the gemtech/gsl collar and drilled/tapped the screws in the corners instead. I think there is an adapter for the lage upper setup for the m10 can to run the collar.

Thanks guys. I love that front grip that apparently comes with or can be fitted to the Ghost upper if I am reading the post correctly. The OEM little leather strap scares the hell out of me LOL.

That is a pretty slick front grip!

on my m11/9 I shot a hole through my front strap lol. I rarely shoot the m11 unsuppressed. It takes a lot of 124 sub sonics to heat the can up. The m10/45 I shoot bone stock all the time, it's easier to hold onto than the m11/9. With the suppressor on you should be fine. US machinegun sells a vertical front grip that clamps to the barrel where the strap is.

Anyone know about this adapter for the lage upper setup? Is this for Gen 1 or 2 or both? Does this help secure the Viper locking collar? If you just tighten the locking collar screws down on the bbl (Lage Gen1), they eventually loosen; any tips for securing this other than loctite?

I thought practical solutions or lage themselves sold the adapter. Honestly never paid that much attention to it as I have the 5/8x24 threads on my mk2 upper and run a 45acp 3 lug adapter on it. I can't seem to find the adapter right now but I think it was just a 3d printed spacer. Sorry I don't have more info for you.
