Since the OAL of a .22 is just a little less than a 9mm I started thinking about possibilities of making a .22 conversion for the Swedish K. My initial thought was to use the Suomi drum. This would need a new follower and either a spacer or new coils on the inside. Obviously a new bolt, spring, and barrel would be needed.
I then tried to fit a new 10/22 mag (Ruger mag was handy). It seems like the mag could easily be ground down to fit in the open magwell of the Swedish K.
Has anyone played with this option? Interested to hear what issues other may have experienced looking at a .22 kit for the K.
