Yes, "the next big thing" is a bold statement. Here is a quick overview of what we will be bringing to the NFA market in the first quarter of 2019 for the M10 registered receiver Machine Gun. Presenting the Tenco 10-16 adapter.

The adapter will:

-Allow the use of unmodified Ar-15/M16 barreled upper receivers and magazines to be fired full auto using an M10 registered Machine Gun e.g. .22, 9mm, .45, .223/.556, 7.62x39 and 300 Black out or virtually any other AR upper receiver.

-An off the shelf Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) buffer system does not require any modification to the M10 lower receiver and can be tuned for different AR caliber applications.

-The basic design of the Tenco 10-16 adapter already has a determination by the Firearms and Ammunition Technology Division of the NFA Branch, that the adapter is not a firearm nor does it break any other laws.

-We are currently waiting for the FATD determination of the refined version of this closed bolt Tenco 10-16 adapter system based on the AR-15/M16, so we can release the Tenco 10-16 adapter kit for retail sales.

-Practical Solutions will be the exclusive retailer of the Tenco 10-16 adapter series made by A&S Conversions L.L.C. If you are interested in the Tenco adapter for the M10, there is a waiting list developing at Practical Solutions. To be added to the list please email Practical Solutions at: tina@macmachineguns.com The retail price for the basic adapter with angled stock adapter that has a thread pattern for Lage, Ace, or AR stock adapter will be $2,995.00.

-A provisional patent has been filed with the U.S. Patent Office for the mechanism that Tenco 10-16 adapter kit uses. Once the Tenco 10-16 adapter kit has been adjusted to the M10 RR, the Tenco 10-16 adapter kit can be installed and removed without any tools other than a bullet for takedown pin removal.

-Below is a video of the adapter being used with a Powder Springs Mac 10 lower receiver. This receiver does not have reinforcement tabs. No appreciable wear developed in the front pin hole of the receiver or the Tenco adapter after 10,000 rounds of use.

As we get closer to release, more details will be forthcoming about how the Tenco 10-16 adapter works. Please do not contact A&S Conversions for further details at this time.

Further, we are also working on a prototype for the M11/NINE RR Machine Gun which should be available by the third quarter of 2019 if not before.

Yawn. Wake me up when you start making them for the M11/380. It's the coolest version. ;)

At this time we don't anticipate a M11A1/.380 version. That is not to say it would never be built, but not any time soon. If it was shown to have enough volume to make the engineering, research, and development viable then we would consider it.

The basic Tenco adapter (adapter mechanism and stock adapter) , which would give the M10 Registered Receiver the basic functionality of a M16 RR, to be priced at $2,995.00. It is our understanding that Practical Solutions plans to have a complete package, including upper and stock available for those that want a "turn key" package.

Great news.
A version for the M11 380 would be nice down the road and I'm interested in both.


Will this work WITHOUT reinforcement tabs for the powder spring m10?
I'm aware that you TESTED it in a NON converted tab PS MAC and the finale product might be different.

Dam was hoping it could come in at 2k or less. That puts it at Lage which is pricing a lot out of them on 11/15

Can you pop uppers on off quickly between calibers at the range with in adapter?

A video is nice but clearly we need pics, or a pic. Why would I get on a waiting list for something I haven’t seen?

Because it’s free to get on a waiting list, it provides a rough and dirty level of interest for the manufacturer (divide by 2 or 3 to gauge demand).

Will a tromix 458 upper come to live permanently on my M10? Probably not, but the option still excites me.

Just because it’s free doesn’t answer my question. And I don’t have interest in an M10 version, so getting on a list for something I have no use for would be silly AF, kind of like answering a rhetorical question.

Pretty sure most everyone here would like to see pics.
