Feather 10mm Carbine

[MAPACHE]

I just received my backordered Feather 10 mm carbine which uses Glock Magazines. I haven't had a lot of shooting time with it yet. Sighted in in at 100 yards then I put in a 15 shot clip with several brands of 10mm in the clip, Proceeded to empty the clip. The rifle digested all the ammo. So far I am impressed.

How about a few pics ;)

I've yet to actually shoot one of those, but it's been on my short list way too long.

Welcome to GP :thumbsup:

Does feather have a website ?

Looks kinda like this?

[BigSlick]

Sweet pic Kid :thumbsup:

But, I think it looks more like a quasi AK/AR mix, almost like a Saiga if I remember right.

Stock flipped around and fully extended

How much ?

Is it multi caliber capable ?

[The10mmKid]

I guess it's built along the lines of a Thompson. I don't have a Thompson to compare.

I'll do a write up on it after a range trip Sunday.

Have about 100 rds through it, but most of those were barrel break in. Shoot some, clean some . . . rinse & repreat.

I did have some hot 800-X rounds FTF. AKA 'da Freak recipe for destruction'. No powder residue, so that felt good. Actually has a kick.
Chamber is real tight, so much so, it scrapes the brass during extraction.

It easily throws that brass 15'

I have a lot of carbine recipe experimenting ahead.

$750 + options

I bought the Deluxe Case Series. Came with rails, front Ghost sight, rear fully adjustable aperature sight. I paid $50 more for the 'Bull' barrel cover.

See the roughness of the case down to within 1/8" of the head. Other than that, the brass looks great,

I may polish the ramp & chamber after Sundays trip.

I'll work on improving my seldom used Macro skills.

How rough is it ?

Can't really tell from the pic.

Maybe just a little elbow grease and some flitz might do wonders

Yeah, talkin about 10mm here is like givin cash to a crack head. You'll get a whole lot of interest ;)

The case on the right shows it best.

I just have to keep in mind that this thing is pulling the case out while there is still pressure in the barrel/chamber.

The case in a GLOCK rides back with the chamber until the barrel catches the stop. That Browning dude had some smarts', eh!

I don't own an AR, so I don't see much 'yanked from the chamber' brass.

This pic shows the OKie-Dokie primers.

I forgot to mention.
Using reloads in your Feather RAV-10MM voids the 1yr warranty.

1,3 and 4 got a couple nicks on the rim, but otherwise look OK from what I can see. My laptop resolution won't bring out the detail on the head, too dark.

I'd still shoot em from what I can see

Took the Feather to the range again today.

Shot some jacketed, shot some lead, shot some 200gr, shot some 155gr, shot some plated brass, shot some bare . . . . (the brass, not me)

OK,
Everything is working except the TC bullets. I get one, maybe two FTF per mag. The bolt really mangles the brass beyond reuse. Weird.

It ejects the casing an amazing +12' with most of the rounds. Crazy far.


I tried the following; mixed brass, magnum primer:
200gr Hornady FMJTC w/8.0gr of 800-X
Mighty fine soft round, fair amount of umph.
I may reseat these deeper. (see below)

155gr MG RNFP w/12.0gr of Blue Dot
Snappy, kicks and really cracks . . . . oh yeah!

175gr LSWC w/10.0gr of 800-X
Softest round yet, cases ended up about 5' away. Felt like I was shootin' a fotay.


I wanted to shoot some lead to look for buildup, but figured I'd get frustrated clearing the SWC jams. Darn thang ate an entire 30rds without incident. I'm a little perplexed on the TC's jamming and not the SWC's. No leading with this small count.

Mine's hitting right-on in elevation and a little to the right of aim. I'll dial it in this week. I just wanted to get the barrel break-in out of the way.

All-n-all, I love the little girl as does anyone else I let shoot her. She gets the looks and I just cant let someone admire her and not give 'er a squeeze.
