Has anyone tried a mechtech rifle?

This looks kinda of cool for a truck gun, does anyone know about the quality?

Its been a few years but I fired one a friend owned. It works well, he even killed a deer with it. The only thing I did not like was the aesthetics.

I thought it may be a good oh poop! Gun, you could leave it in the truck without the gun attached. It would also be a fun hog gun

Unless you want a 10mm or .45ACP, for less money you can get a complete gun with out having to also have a Glock frame by going with the Keltec Sub 2000 in 9mm or .40. And you can get them in Glock versions that take Glock Magazines.

Folds down to 16" for concealment, and would be perfectly legal to have while walking past 30.06 :thumbs2:

Now good luck finding any instock!

I have a G20 in 10 MM I was thinking it would be a good set up for the truck. I could take the "gun" part out when not in use.

Good review here, including the ATF regs: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/1 ... ech-c-c-u/

i dont know why but at first i read this as machete rifles and i thought ok i've got to see this!

i've thought about something of this nature for a while mainly the keltecs since its cheaper than a 9mm ar....but i'm thinking this system might be even better just pop in existing glock and all set.

could make a nice truck gun, or a very nice home defense weapon as well.

I could see having one in home that fits onto my glock 21 frame. Mount a streamlight on the front end and a red dot on the top with co-witness iron sights. I already plan to use my glock 21 for home defense because I like the thought of having 13+1 rds of .45acp to take down the intruder. Add the setup above and the bg doesn't stand a chance.

If I get one, the first thing I'm going to do is have the barrel threaded to accept the suppressor I've got on order.
