For those dropping out you may want to reconsider. There are an estimated 3000 transferable M11 and M11a1 frames. Lets say 300 of these get made. Lage is a manufacturer, not a gunsmith. He does things in batches. When the demand dries up he probably will drop the product.
Consider these recently discontinued products:
Lage M11/9 22 kit no longer made $500 New now $1500 on the secondary market
CFW Bolt. Out of production but may be made again $804 New now $1500 on the secondary market
Yes it hurt sending off $3200 in this economy. However, the upper being run as intended has been flawless. I have now in the thousands of rounds through it mostly crap ammo that I have had sitting in my shop for over a decade. Exactly one misfeed from a 40-50 year old Adventureline mag.

I still haven't taken the time to shoot mine but i got on the list and grabed on while they are in production.
Sad part about not shooting it is i can stand right in the garage and shoot out the back door.
Just to busy remodeling the house only spent 10 minutes shooting a few weeks ago out the back of the garage
I would suggest a 7.62 can also
No idea what to buy though mine is a F1 can and is hearing safe on a 556 rifle.
Find out if it's hear safe on the OB Lage upper soon
