We have located a company that will do the laser welding we need for the back of the magazine bodies.  Shipping today, is enough sheet metal to fabricate 200 magazines.  We anticipate receiving the materials next week, however we are preparing for vacation (13th-19th) and will probably not start bending up the sheet metal until we get back – Christmas week.  After we have them bent, the laser welder speculates a turn around time of 3 weeks.  When we have the completed mags inhouse, we will have them beta tested and begin sending them out to those that have already purchased one of our .22 kits.

M11 Kit:  We have cut up the material and it is piled everywhere.  We are in the process of programming the rest of the pieces that make up the kit.  We anticiapte that we’ll have some kits ready to be sent out for coating by the end of the month.

We are also working on the hardware for side cocking uppers for the M10 and M11 .22 kits.  This hardware will also retro fit any side cocking M10 or M11 upper.  The difference between ours and other manufacturers is that ours is spring loaded and the charging handle will always return to the front of the upper on it’s own.

The picture below shows the results of our dry run for our new tooling.  As you can see, we’re displaying 30 and 40 round mags sandwiched between the H&K 20 round mag we are currently selling with our kits and a typical Sten mag.  We have not yet testfired these mags but intend to do so in the near future.  Our first step was to make sure we could fabricate what we wanted in the way of mag pieces.  There are some quirks in the tooling that make reproduction difficult at best and we are working that out now.  Next, we will begin beta-testing.  We apologize for the delay.  We have undergone a few setbacks, design changes, and delays; but we are pushing forward as fast as we can.

M11 Kit update:  Because we made a slight design change early in the summer, we resubmitted our M11 Kit to ATF for approval (because they instructed us to do so if we made even the slightest design change.)  We have finally received a positive response from ATF and are free to move forward with production of the kit.  We will be working on them over the next couple of months and will get them out as soon as we can.

We have come up with a better way to form the 40 round magazines.  Unfortunately, this requires different tooling.  We hope to be doing our bending trials by the end of this week.

We’ve uploaded a new instructional video for the M10 .22 conversion kit.  This video is for new owners and it demonstrates how to install the kit.  For those of you that would like to get a closer look at the unit, this video may be helpful.  Click here to view the M10 .22 conversion unit instructional video.

We have also successfully created and test fired our own 20 round magazine.  Now that we know we can reproduce the magazines we already have, we will lengthen the size of the magazine body and begin beta testing the higher capacity mags.  Stay tuned…

We have just uploaded a video on youtube.com demonstrating the M11 22 Kit.  Click here to see the video of the Practical Solutions .22LR Conversion Kit.  Both of our 22 kits (the M10 and M11) are very similar in design.  The beta testing of the M10 kits allowed us to easily make design changes to the M11 kit, as well.  We are currently undergoing beta testing for the M11 kit and we expect to begin delivering the units late Summer or early Fall.
