Versa 11 since no one has posted theirs

[Mr. Greg]

VERSA 10,11 and 12 production is being delayed due to one of our CNC Mills being down for a spindle repair. This mill is used for all of our aluminum parts. Should be back up and running by mid to late April. I apologize for the delay, but some things are beyond our control. Not to tease, but we were just about to start the first production run of VERSA-10’s.

Everything back up and running Richard? Any estimates on VERSA-10s?

 

[m11stuff@hotmail.com]

It is back up and running. Our other CNC Mill also went down, causing another delay. It is running now. At least this one only cost me $200 to fix. Just a switch, but it took forever to diagnose.

I am working on the VERSA-10’s now. Need to tweak the programs a little so it will be a little over a month before the first batch is ready.

I apologize for the delays. I didn’t think we would be approaching June without having sold some already. Can’t predict when a machine will go down.

Can’t predict when a machine will go down.

I've got some friends in the industry that can help you get very close to predicting this...vibration sensors, software and such....Caron Engineering (https://www.caroneng.com/). I can have my friend Ulli from Caron get in touch if you're interested in finding out more....this is the product:

DTect-IT is a high-precision CNC sensor analysis system that detects machine anomalies, vibrations, spindle issues, and more in real time.

BTW: patiently waiting for the "your VERSA-11 is ready" email!

Versa 11 with Suomi drum mag group. Shot very slow. Felt noticeably slower than Max11. Also much lighter in hand (to me - didn't compare published weights). Singles all day if thats what you want to do. I like it - very pleased. I may even play with speeding it up just a bit. I'll have to check if the VBS buffers that I have will work.

Richard says the old VSB spacers will not work.

Will the M10 in 9mm and 45 look/be as awesome too?

 

[skoda]

They won't, I tried. The spacing of the rods is different. I'm also pretty sure that you need longer ones to make a difference.

The Versa is lighter than the Max-31 for sure. I really like it, it's my favorite way to shoot the medium size MAC. It makes the M11/9 a truly modern subgun.

Just as awesome!

Very exciting, just got my waitlist order email saying my number is up. Great to see these things are going out the door again.

Had my Versa11 for a few weeks now. It shoots absolutely amazing. I can't wait to shoot matches with it. Anyone have extensive experience with the AC Unity Glock 30rd mags? I bought a bunch from RTG in the past cause they are so cheap. They pass the drop test and feed very well so far.

I really wish they made an hk mp5 mag

It’s a superior mag and so easy to load

 

[10mmlover]

Just as awesome!

Thanks so much for bringing this out. Not only do we now have a a machine gun that has proper forward bending mags, but you're supporting mags that can be speed loaded with the ETS loader. No more lula loading tons of rounds.

That is definitely very cool! Love the banana theme!! I ordered the Glock mag setup as I've got a https://magpump.com that works pretty good, but after seeing your setup that looks like it is probably *much* faster to load, nice!! Based on your experience - what's the best / easiest / fastest to load 9mm mag and mag loader setup out there (that is available with the VERSA?)? Would you say that your setup is at the top of the list? Always trying to figure out how to do it better! For my Lage 5.56 upper I use this and it's FAST!! https://rrsspeedloaders.com/collections/ar-15

All of the ones that are available for this are single feed at the feed lips except the Scorpion Evo mags. This limits you to a mag pump or mag lula loader on those kind. But for the Evo mags, you can use the ETS group loader which lets you strip off 10 at a time from a box of new ammo and just shove them all into the magazine in under 1 second . So as far as speed of loading, especially if you're already at the range, nothing is going to beat the Scorpion version. Plus you can get Scorpion mags from various places for only ~$18 so they're always cheap.

 

[strobro32]

Fastest would be the Suomi DF box mags and a Suomi loader/clips.

 

[10mmlover]

Fastest would be the Suomi DF box mags and a Suomi loader/clips.

Yeah but don't you then have to load the stripper clips one round at a time? With the ETS loader you can just load them right out of the box they come in.

 

[Jmacken37]

The ETS loader should work fine with the Glock mags, too...

 

[PUCKER]

Very cool, y'all - THANK you for the replies!!

I'm going to have to look at the ETS loader for my Glock mags...and maybe consider the Scorpion mags and adding that to the VERSA...maybe. Thing is - I've sort of "standardized" on the Glock platform with a few pistols, an FM-9 PCC and now the VERSA (well, soon, anyway LOL!!). I like the versatility of using the same mags with all those items.

I typically load up what I plan on shooting beforehand - usually the night before, I've got a crap ton, relatively speaking, of Glock hi-cap mags. I like to maximize range time by shooting, not loading.

The ETS mag loader works really good for the pcc or ar15 magazines. The angled model for handgun magazines is a bit harder to use as it takes quite a bit of force to run it.

 

[PUCKER]

Also - one thing with the ETS style of loader - if you buy ammo bulk, like I do, meaning by the ammo box, you'd have to still load / line up the ammo in the loader - or in a little box...guess that's where the Mag Pump hopper setup shines.

What's the life span of the ETS loader?

Does the ETS loader weaken the Glock feed lips?

I got the RTG MP5 speed loader but it only lasted a few hundred rounds before the brass cases wore out the plastic channel.

The 9mm Mag Pump wore out in about 500 rounds but they replaced parts under warranty. It loads faster than OEM loader but it's not the fastest. I had gen 1 and they have since upgraded the weak parts.
