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.

We have contracted with Michael Asid of Oxford Armory to protect the kit’s bolt carrier and magazine well adapter with a Moly Resin coating.  It has proven to be very durable in our test model.  We have several completed kits that are coated and in transit back to us now.  Once we get these pieces back in-house we will be making deliveries to the customers for which kits were customized.  We are also contacting the next ten names on the list to get specific information regarding their gun so that we can send the proper mag well adapters to Oxford Armory for coating.

We have also finished prototyping all of the tooling for the 40 rounds mags and we have started on the first magazine prototypes.  We will begin beta testing within the next couple of weeks.
