Thanks!

I've done a cursory search for this weapon online and came up with Thompson making them for the civilian market in the early nineties.

I've also caught a glimpse of them on Gunbroker.

I'm interested in four things:

1. What were the weapon specifics, e.g. rifling twist rate, rate of fire, accuracy, FBI choice of ammunition;
2. Thoughts by those in the field who used the weapon;
3. If any other Federal agency employed them and
4. If Thompson had or has given thought to re-releasing them in civilian form.

Thanks in advance.

Are there "good" or "bad" years for the Kimber Eclipse Custom II 10mm?

The Olympic Arms 10mm upper is fed by an Olympic magazine, I'm assuming proprietary. They are about the same dimensions as a standard AR-style 5.56mm or comparable magazine.

The magazines are stamped "OLYMPIC 10MM 18 RD" or "OLYMPIC 10MM 10 RD" in smaller script, with large, indented OLYMPIC ARMS on both sides.

The rounds seem to be unstaggered when loading, with a very stiff spring.

The Olympic upper is in good shape but stagnant ... Looking for a good lower.

Hello,

I am considering buying a new Fusion GI Freedom Series 10mm. I've owned several 1911 10mms (Kimber, Colt, DW) and now want something with no rail, fixed sights, blued, for lack of any better terms, a "good old 1911" in spirit, but in 10mm.

From what I've read, the Fusion GI 5" 10mm is that pistol. Plus it's a Series 70, which I have never owned, and can be had from Fusion with a ramped Wilson/Nowlin barrel.

Although I can't find the 10mm option on the dropdown, Tyler Serva of Fusion assures me it is available. IMO this is pretty cool ... I don't know why.

Another cool factor would be if the slide were rollmarked similar to an M1911 (font, size, leading) only reflecting Fusion as the manufacturer, etc. To me, that would be a considerable nerdgasm. 

I was wondering if anyone has any firsthand experience with this firearm, and willing to share.

I tried looking for past reviews here, but my searches failed.

Thanks in advance,

david

Looks like a blowback.

I bought it new from Oly in 2013 and paired it with a Rock River lower. No offense to RR or those who like RR, but it never really felt right on the Oly upper. Now I'm looking for a substitute AR lower to mate with the Oly upper. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Does anyone have experience with an Olympic Arms 10mm AR-style upper?

Thanks
