Vector Full-auto UZI & .22 magazine problem

[coolhand]

I've a full-auto Vector UZI w/ original Vector .22 conversion kit.
The unit works great w/ Vector .22 magazine & Winchester 333 ammos.

About 2-3 years ago I brought bunch of Black Dog .22 mags and it has been nothing but trouble.
FTF w/ crushed ammo and jam every 3~5 rds of full-auto fire.
I changed the existing extractor with a new original Vector extractor and no difference.
The unit works great with the original Vector mags but that thing is bitch to load and I really want to use my Black Dog mags.

Any thoughts?

Try different ammo it has to be round nose and get an extractor from Bowers Group. Also there is a tuning guide posted here

Thanks, I will follow the instruction and see what happens.
I tried many different 22 ammo and only Winchester 333 or 555 works & expensive CCI... I think it's 36gr ammo.

Does anyone know whether Black Dog released improved spring or follower for their 22 mags?

The plastic BD mags I bought some years ago sucked. My original GI mags and kit worked well with Winchester Super-X. Or Federal high power. But not much else. 22 kits ... fun when they work, PITA when they don't.

The Black Dog mags suck that is why I designed our 22 Uzi mags.
