it is chambered for a handgun cartridge!  

I just finished the M3 conversion of my USC carbine yesterday. I added a stock photo of the USC so you can see "before and after."

Thanks!

Actually, I was thinking about making it so with a UMP lower, but decided to just make it an SBR (short-barreled rifle) using a UMP 8" barrel. The NFA paperwork (Form 1) is in the works now. When I can do the barrel swap, it will look similar to the one below.

Well, they're still making and importing the UMP submachine gun so some parts are available. Also, there are a couple of outfits making USC/UMP kits, namely Top Notch Accessories and Homeland Defense and Police Supply. You can pick up a nice, used USC for $1400-$1600 or so.

I updated the photos above to show the new Surefire M910A-RD weaponlight I just got in from Calvin at Brightflashlights.com!

Another pleasureable transaction, Calvin! Thanks again for all your help!

I like it!

There is a Heckler and Koch forum in the Armory.  You should post this there too!

I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. I will!

That's sweet.  I've been pondering doing something similar.

Do you mind telling me where you sourced the parts from?

I'd be happy to. The conversion kit is available from Top Notch Accessories. They also make lots of other parts including the 8" barrels for making UMP clones. Wade is a great guy to deal with and he'll go out of his way to help you. Outstanding service! The barrel shroud/fake suppressor is from E&L Manufacturing.
