got my prototype M11/AR22 conversion working. Now W/video
Sure I could have gotten a lage kit, but I did not like the cost of the stick mags, or the limited capacity. I had plenty of AR22 conversion mags, including drums on hand, so I decided to make my own. (plus I like to tinker)
I have been working on it off and on for more than a year (mostly off), but finally got it working well. Still tweaking with the bolt weight to get it shooting slower. as long as I can consistently pull singles while suppressed, I will be happy (850rpm ish). Of course unsuppressed it would be a little slower.
Yes it takes black dog machine mags, including the 50 round drum
I still need to work on the mag catch, it's a little hard to get to with your trigger finger, even with the extension I made. But I will try it out at next months subgun match. Since the pictures have been taken I have threaded the barrel.
It does eject to the right, but at first I was thinking of being able to change the ejection direction, that is why there is a cutout on the left.
I hacked at the ejection opening a little too much. The operating handle can be switched to either side.
with the 50 round drum.
BTW, the stock is the standard wire stock, with a piece of black painted PVC pipe on top, wrapped with paracord. It makes for a nice cheek weld, and raises you up enough to see the sight.
