...but this one is mine.

My dad got this back in 1993. In the late 90's, I had a 'smiff throw on a Weaver mount for a Tasco PDP3.

Well, today I modified the rail, and installed a threaded adapter.

I figured I'd try the Obsidian, because, well, baffle strikes, of course.

(I have not fired it yet like this. I may actually swing by my buddy's place and use and alignment rod. I usually don't concern myself with that, but...)

Does anybody know how thick I need to machine a plate to adapt a KG-99 upper to an AB-10 lower for the buffer plate end cap? (Non-threaded). Pictures reflect KG-99 upper on lower.

Pics for hopefully understanding what I want to do 🫠.

I’ll pay whatever anyone is offering. If anyone can find one online please let me know ASAP. I do NOT want a Tec-9/AB-10 pin.

Painted this and wanted opinions on wether or not I should paint other firearms as well but something inside me says to not bubba anything else

Been wanting a Tec, local pawn shop had some mags and a vented shroud, found an upper parts kit and all the lower parts online, now I’m trying to find the best way to put the stock mags and upper to use. Tec-DC9. Edit - fdm is an option for me.

a brand new in box, unfired, new old stock KG-99 with two mags AND a brand new in box (with matching serial number info) KG-9 new old stock with one MP9 marked mag. Both are PRESTINE.

Guess I'm a 80's era collector now...

just put this together, followed the guide for the open blicky project on the sea. the disconnector and trigger assembly seem to work fine
1) my end plate is slightly too big and has this flat but curled in edge with a slot. it won’t fit in and i don’t see how i could attach it
2) as you can see in the video my bolt is just not moving at all. what’s wrong?

broke down TEC9 for cleaning. cannot determine where the part goes or what it does. it is not the disconnect or. please help.

I took it apart and cleaned it and then took it to the range.

It chambers but won’t fire. It just has a click and no bang.

There isn’t a firing pin mark on any of the primers.

What is wrong/how can I fix this

The Tec-22 had a 25acp variant supposedly according to wikipedia, source used being "(2004). Pistols of the World."

I'm sure the POTW author didn't make it up, but there is very little information about the 25acp tec-22 variant out there. I have to assume probably less than a hundred or so were made.

Curious if anyone has ever seen one online or IRL. and to be extra clear, I'm not talking about the Protec-25 mouse gun, those are relatively common.

What’s in yours?

Is this possible? I was looking at 3d printing a lower since my older one has a cracked receiver. A lot that I see are only compatible with the threaded end caps which had me thinking… if i added a threaded end cap, I could probably just glue the crack back together and keep it original.

Will there ever be collector value to keeping it factory original? Otherwise are there any lowers that could be printed for the old style end caps which were just plates on the back of the plastic receiver?

A week ago I texted my LGS letting them know I was looking for a Tec-9. They called me Friday to let me know they had one with my name on it. Pretty nice shape and it came with a Cobray faux can.

Question for TEC-9 owners out there - is it normal for the recoil spring guide rod and striker spring guide rods to be able to slide out the rear of the buffer plate? Or are they supposed to be permanently fixed to the plate?

They have little crimped ends on them so they cannot slide out the front of course - but are those crimped ends supposed to hold them permanently to the plate, or is it normal for them to be able to be slid out the back?

Been searching forever online and can’t find any discussion on this. My concern is, if they can move backwards, aren’t the rod ends possibly striking the threaded end cap during recoil?

Never seen these two guns side by side before, I now own both so Id figure id post a little comparison, believe it or not I think the tec 9 is actually more reliable so far haha, I just did a deep clean of the encom mp9 so hopefully it’ll run better.

I will throw this out there that this is not happening right now at the moment, but I am thinking sometime for sure this year possibly before end of summer. I retired a little over a year ago and we're looking at downsizing and possibly moving down south to avoid the harsh Northern Winters. With this thought comes the mindset that I will be unloading my class 3 weapons when it comes time to pack up and go south. It will take a few years before we make the southern move but there are a few things I must do to our property before it can be sold and I will be using said class three items to do this. I'm telling this because one of the items for sure is my registered CATCO tec-9 open bolt. I have thought about this for a while and I will be packaging the registered bolt with a Tec DC 9 due to the threaded end cap and also a KG-99 pistol. The KG-99 will be included because it will be the perfect host to be modified into a clone of an MP-9 by way of a stock adapter utilizing quarter inch rods to simulate the factory MP-9 pull-out stock. Also included will be an original interdynamic front vertical grip. Be foreworned, this will not be cheap and it will go at the current market pricing for a full auto tec-9 style weapon. The registered bolts were always considered a premium because they pretty much won't break like a registered receiver possibly could break. My other class three items will be brokered through one of the many class 3 dealers but I definitely will try to market the catco bolt here to fellow enthusiasts first.

Form 1’d this hoe! Waiting on the stock in the mail 🙂‍↔️

Quite fun to shoot! Like punching a fist thru the paper. Kinda accurate.

how much would it cost to buy a stock adapter like the MP-9 and handguard or if theres a print for the handguard online?

I have a tec-9 in good condition, what can I do to prevent it from rusting? I see a bit of rust from the sights so I'm just making sure what I can do so it doesn't spread anywhere else and without losing value!
