Re: Ab-10
A slide out stock will turn it into a short barreled rifle, and without the proper paperwork from the feds, that will get you a few years in the Fed Pen.
I had a Tec-9 back in the day, sold it and bought a Calico, sold the Calico during the Clinton ban and bought a Garand. Still have the Garand.
Can't help you with the laser, but I'd suggest buying any spare parts you can find. Firing pins, buffers and springs will be a good start.

Re: Ab-10
I restored one for a family member a few years ago. The first detail I noticed was the "safety" arrangement. As I recall, when the safety was applied, there was a strong risk of breaking the firing pin. Sure enough, the firing pin was bent over on this one, and deeply cracked.
So, I'd stock up on firing pins.Gloria: "65 percent of the people murdered in the last 10 years were killed by hand guns"

Re: Ab-10
i've read that the receiver cracks on the AB10 making the gun useless since there are no replacement receivers available.

Re: Ab-10
The AB-10 I shot would not hit a target from 20 feet. The 2 inch barrel, poor sights, and terrible trigger pull just didn't make for a fun day at the range. I would not spend the money to customize it. And I haven't seen any aftermarket parts for it. The one thing I might invest in for it would be a barrel long enough to make it accurate, but putting a laser and stock on a gun that can't hit a target won't make it shoot better.
And I think the only ones worth anything are low S/Ns and the stainless steel version.
And I read somewhere about frequent cases ruptures. It will fire even if the bullet is not fully chambered. I think that was the problem. Or it was the loose firing pin in the early models. But I would not trust that chunk of steel for anything. Not personal defense or a good time.

Re: Ab-10
I've always wanted one of these (TEC9 DC9 AB10) or even something similar like an AA arms AP9. If I could find one cheap enough, I'd jump on it. I know they have a reputation of being crap, I just like stuff thats a little different. I'd probably even pick up one with a broken grip frame, just to study the simple goodness.

Re: Ab-10
...You'd pay for a $200 stamp to put a stock on a $200 gun?
I think you'd be the first to do so with an AB-10.
