Finally took my max-11/15 out

[CapnMorgan]

I was having a bit of a problem with it shooting semi auto and short burst. I had this problem when I first got my max 11 mk2 upper and I bent the trigger spring to fix it, not sure if that's the problem this time or not. I didn't remove the disconnect or check anything, It started working better as it warmed up lol.

Nice video.

I don't have video of mine, but I finally made it out for the first time this year, and got to try my Max-11/15 today. What a hoot. I didn't have any failures of any kind. I opted for the "drill the hole" version, and it ran without a hitch. This thing is a work of art and well worth it in my view.

Looks like you are using steel case ammo? Could be a part of the problem.

Mine runs great with steel case.

Same for me. I think I’ve only run one mag of brass cased through it!

What is the rate of fire of the Max11-15? Seems about 800-900 but that's just a guess from the audio.

No, I fixed it. the sear and disconnect didn't mate up properly. the sear was rounded slightly and the disconnect sorta peened. I'm thinking the inertia from the added weight/recoil just amplified an existing problem. I filed them to fit properly but I'm just going to replace them. I did learn that a .223 mag dump gets a suppressor extremely hot.
