Yes. The BATFE recently published a ruling which clarifies this – here is the link: https://www.atf.gov/file/55526/download . There has been a lot of misinformation circulating to the effect that once the pistol lower has been assembled to a rifle configuration then converting back to the pistol constitutes ‘making a pistol from a rifle’ and thereby placing the pistol into the SBR (short barreled rifle) class. Not so. Please see our Forum for even further clarification. It is the first post on the Forum so you don’t have to spend time trying to find it.

OUR CCU IS CONSIDERED A FIREARM ACCESSORY. YOU CAN ORDER AND HAVE IT SHIPPED DIRECT TO YOU WITHOUT AN FFL.

YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF YOUR OWN LOCAL AND STATE RESTRICTIONS. NOT ALL CONFIGURATIONS OF OUR CCU MAY BE LEGAL IN ALL AREAS.

OUR CCU NEEDS ONE OF THE 4 BUTT STOCK OPTIONS WE OFFER TO FUNCTION.

Mech-Tech does not have an export license so we can only ship to U.S. addresses.

WE OFFER A ‘RETRO-KIT’ FOR UPGRADING YOUR STOCK. IT COMES WITH A NEW STOCK, REAR BUFFER ASSEMBLY AND THE BUTT STOCK OF YOUR CHOOSING. WE WOULD ALSO NEED TO KNOW IF YOUR CCU HAS A PRESSED ON ‘MUZZLE DEC’. PLEASE CALL FOR ORDERING.

Yes. Specs are:
9mm 1/2x28 RH
10mm/40SW 9/16x24 RH
45ACP/460R .578x28 RH

1. Place the barrel muzzle up in a vee block. the edges of the Flash Hider should rest on the block.
2. Heat the Flash Hider with a propane torch. Only moderate heat is necessary.
3. Use a wooden or plastic dowel to drive the barrel out of the Flash Hider. NOTE: DO NOT TWIST the barrel or Flash Hider as this will cause gauling and make removal more difficult.
4. The end of the barrel can be cleaned with light oil and steel wool.

This depends on so many variables beyond the control of Mech Tech that we do not specify a number. The CCU is not intended to be a bench rest rifle but there are many units being used in various competitive sports with great success. There are a number of YouTube videos that address this.

GOING FROM A 5” TO A 16” BARREL YOU CAN EXPECT ABOUT A 70-290 FPS INCREASE AND A 30-40% INCREASE IN MUZZLE ENERGY. SEE BALLISTICSBYTHEINCH.COM FOR SPECIFIC CALIBER/LOAD TEST RESULTS.
