M11/9 .22 conversion kit question

[Brockak47]

The only .22 kit I can seem to find on google search is Lage .22 conversion, but it only fires in full auto. Is there a kit out there that lets me keep my select fire. Single and both full auto?

Ps. I have tried the search function, but it barely works for me loads so very slow and never yields good results for me.

If there is I have never heard of it. With a little practice you should be able to pull singles with the lage kit. I know I can with my max-11/22 kit.

The rate of fire on the Lage MFG kit is slow enough to pull singles without much practice.

I don't know if the Practical Solutions kit will allow semi auto only, but the ROF is high and not possible to pull singles on full auto.

The Subcal/Flemming kits are a POS and might as well be a semi auto.

It's not much of a choice in my book. Go with a Lage MFG kit. If you need to reliably pull a single shot, just load one round in the magazine.

I don't think there are any other current production kits that allow for semi.

Buy the Lage kit, you can't go wrong. The guy will even custom tune the kit to your upper for the cost of shipping. Who else does that?

+1 with very little practice I can reliably pull singles in my page kit all day long.

Ok I was afraid that was the answer =(, Is it true I have spend another 750+ dollars on the Max 11 just to use the lage .22 kit?

If you buy the Max11/22 conversion, then yes. If you purchase the M11/22 conversion, it works with the stock upper. I have both... if I could only have one, I would keep the M11/22 for the stock upper.

I see thanks! Would the M11/22 work with a side cocking upper, like the one on usmachinegun or the uppers with diopter sights?, or just the stock upper?

Does the Max11/22 only work with the lage max 11 or would it also work with side cock upper?

Thanks everyone for all the replies

My SubCal kit is capable of semi or full auto fire, and is capable of using a suppressor.
But SubCal kits typically need a lot of work to make them run reliably and are a usually a PITA to get going at all.

The m11/22 will work with a stock upper or the usmachinegun side cocker, the max11/22 only works with the max11 upper since the bolt is taller.

I just use a stock upper. I like to tinker around with stuff so I welded a small rail to my m11 upper for a red dot. I've since ground that off and I'm running some HK sights on it now.

Anyone know why the kit was designed that way? Is it intentional, to reduce wear on the sear and bolt? Or just the nature of it's design doesn't allow semi auto? If it's about wear, I wonder if the kit could be modified to work in semi-auto for very limited use.

 

[medphys]

The 22 bolt doesn't have the energy needed to operate the trip. Plus it's just one more thing to go wrong in an already finicky conversion kit (all 22 kits, not just Richard's).

I wonder if you could replace the sear spring, or some other spring, with a weaker one or something to make it work?

Yeah, but the bolt is designed to not contact the trip so you would need to modify that too.

Iv used a lighter sear spring in my M11/22 kit with a less friction on the bolt for smoother fire. I found I don't have to really snatch the trigger. I have also ran it with out a sear spring and found that trigger spring actually pushes up the sear far enough to grab the bolt an fire with the same effect for my M11/22 kit. Iv also tried to get the bolt to engage the semi trip by using small spacer to push the Trip tighter against the selector. The effect of that was I got some semi auto function and burst fire. So I think it's possible entirely. The bolt just barely misses the trip so if you can make a slightly enlarges end on the trip you could get it to function. I also polished the sear and .22 bolt on one kit. I only use these part in the 22 kit not on any 9mm stuff.

I paid a whole bunch of extra money so I'd get more than 1 round per trigger pull.

Oh I understand what your saying, it was just there so I fucked with it. Now don't tell me you never tinkered with you m11/9?

Actually that's my favorite thing about the mac. Imagine the possibilities if the lower on an Uzi was the registered part?
