Finally finished the machining operations to the frames to let the recoil rods pass through to the springs in the AR stocks, and got in the AR stock adapters. Two M10s in 5.56mm ready to go!

Whatcha wanna see? Basically they're replacement uppers for the M10 (also available for the M11) that let them fire 5.56 instead of 45/9/380. I guess that's the point that it's helping make the most numerous single machinegun design in civilian hands usable for more than pistol calibers - it's not just M16 types that can shoot a bewildering variety of calibers, including rifle power centerfire. There are plans for other rifle caliber uppers than 5.56 in the future.
Fires from the open bolt like the original, and requires a hole at the back to let the oprod pass through to a spring system housed in the shoulder stock. The hole is actually located such that it doesn't interfere with using the original upper and its internal recoil spring if that's desired, though I may need to come up with a plug or plate to cover the hole when I'm not using these uppers on them.
This spring and oprod modification has been done before for some of the "slowfire" pistol caliber conversions, as well.

Also, while I bought it (LPK) a few weeks ago, this is the first gun I've ever built. Slowly but surely, I'm getting there.
