M11/22

[GK8041]

Curious what a .308 configuration might look like hypothetically. We’re talking about a FA rated, .308 upper adapted for the M10 RR correct?
-barrel length/profile
-piston or DI
-magazine(what type) or belt fed

What else?

There is a thread and video on here somewhere, but I am struggling to find it. If I recall correctly, it uses DPMS-pattern AR10 parts, is magazine fed, and requires a hole to be drilled in the back plate like the old Sabre uppers.

Thanks to everyone for the continued interest. To be added to the Practical Solutions' wait lists please email: tina@macmachineguns.com

The lists for conversion kits I'm tracking are as follows:
Tenko - M10
Tenko - M11
PS - M10/22
PS - M11/22
PS - M11380/22
Mak91/PS - M10/22
Mak91/PS - M10/308
Mak91/PS - M11/22
Mak91/PS - M11380/22

The Tenko conversions are the brainchild of Scott at A&S Conversions, he can provide updates for that project, as I'm sure the info I have is outdated.

The PS kits are .22 conversion kits for which we received determinations years ago, our M10/22 kit is currently in the hands of beta testers. The M11 and 380 kits are on the back burner, for now.

The Mak91/PS projects are the kits we are doing in collaboration with Mak91 and are the subject of this thread. It is true that the M11380/22 kit will be the first of which we will begin work.

Unfortunately, all R&D work has nearly ground to a halt due to the overwhelming influx of gunsmithing work and demand for our parts/accessories. In fact, a week or so ago, I took out of stock all items that are custom made which is basically all of our stocks and upper receivers, so that we can catch up on machining individual parts and gunsmithing work. There are only 3 of us and many of you and we are just having a hard time keeping up. I'm not complaining, in fact, we are grateful for the support from the MAC community, I am merely explaining where we are with things.

Thanks to Mak91 for requesting that everyone have patience and limit the questions to us. We don't know how much and we don't know when, but I promise we are doing our best to keep it moving.

Thx...t

The mind is a terrible thing to waste. Now that Tina has posted the list I remember us talking about the uppers in detail. At the time I was ordering something else and it was a, while you're on the phone, conversation.

That is very cool. Looking forward to it.

Just checked my email, and was relieved to find I signed up for the baby Mac 22 list nov 22. Can’t wait.

Searched my inbox and was happy to find that I too add to the waitlist back in ‘22

I am willing to work with anyone who would like to market this. If that doesn't happen I may consider having some parts made and selling them as kits that they could assemble them selves. I don't want to spend my time assembling and marketing these as I want to spend my time developing a working prototype of the m10/308 NATO.

I would be interested in buying a 22lr kit for my mac11.a1.

What’s the status

What’s the status

As far as I know nothing has changed since Tina's post here.

Here is something to take your mind off of this while we wait.

 

[GK8041]

Def something to think about. 7.62x39 out of ~8" bbl is significantly more practical than .308 ballistically...rock/lock with AK pattern - better yet Magpul AK mags.

Another piece to the puzzle.

It’s interesting to watch these design threads. Years ago it was a question on if it could be done or not.

Now it’s a question of when it will be done, approved, and built for sale. Quite an exciting change

Come on 12G 😁

 

[strobro32]

12G would be fun. I'm not sure it could be done for the baby mac.

Actually, the real question is and has always been, "Is it worth doing?" That is to say, are there enough actual customers willing to pay for what would be a profitable enterprise?

MHO, YMMV, etc.

If someone makes a 12g upper for an M10 - I'm a buyer...if I can use my suppressor.

Yet another piece hot off the machine for your viewing pleasure.

 

[mak91]

A few more small parts and we are ready to test fire.

 

[strobro32]

Is that 5.56 and 7.62?
