Dig out that old Fleming upper and sell it

[LawBob]

I’ve got a cut down lage kit for my m11a1 (.380 baby Mac) It runs pretty good, after I sent it off to Lage to have it tuned. I am considering selling it, as I haven’t used it in about a year. The .22 stuff is so ammo sensitive and the hotter .22 ammo is pretty scarce and expensive when I find it. I have a lage 5.56 upper coming, and since I already have an extra cmmg .22 kit, I plan to play around and see if I can get that running. My 2 cents: If you like to tinker, .22lr is great, if not, save your time and money.

Your cmmg wont work in the Lage 556 upper.

I hope Sam gets his 22lr upper to market fast.

Are the M10 Fleming kits so much harder to find than the M11/9 kits? Okay, Lage made his conversions that satisfied a lot of demand for the M11/9 owners that wanted a 22 kit but there are also a lot more M11/9s out there. I can't believe that the ratio of Fleming kits to guns is so much lower for the M10. Maybe they are or M10 owners just have more money to spend.

I will part with my Lage 22 kit with dedicated upper for $3700 include lightning grip 2 mags and bucket of golden ?? Ammo. (For stock m11/9)

 

[beltfed]

WOW at that price I may list mine. I guess it's like anything MG related if you want it you pay the price.

 

[RevolverJockey]

Why would anyone pay that? They really aren’t THAT cool. I paid $500 for my M11/9 kit.

I shot Root's Fleming upper and it is a sweet set up, but not worth that kind of money.

I bought my kit when Lage announced that they were making their last run. I bought it because it was last call not because 22 is cheaper to shoot. Personally I like the feel of a larger caliber exiting the gun. I’ve never shot the M10 in 45 but knowing how my Xds feels I imagine it packs a punch. My opinion is wait. Someone may come along with another kit. The 31s mags were revived at a time when old ones were selling for silly prices. I know because I bought a few. This is the same time an adapter came on the market to accept regular Z mags in the 31. Somewhere, someone is at least thinking about, if not working on a 22 kit for each type of gun.

What really blows my mind with these prices is the fact that they are paying more for a 22 upper
that may or may not run then a lage xx/15 upper that is known to and does to run.
And in some cases 3x or 4x the price of other Lage uppers in pistol cals.

The flemming uppers are great when they run but I'll agree they are not worth the selling prices
they are commanding at auction end. Not even NIB.

This coming from a guy with a good flemming.

I may have some old parts and may be working on restoring some old partial rimfire kits. I also have no desire to deal with the aft and their unconstitutional BS. I have a few projects in front of these so not sure when I will get to milling on them.

My thoughts exactly. I don't have a 22 kit for my Mac11/9 but I do have the CMMG .22 kit for my AR setups with several different variants of rate enhancing AR triggers (no where close to Mac FA ROF). Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the pure fun and smile from blowing thru 22lr on closer steel targets.....but i could imagine a FA 22lr is nowhere near the fun as FA 9mm. So excluding collectable value and one having F U $ to burn, the economics of shooting .22 FA Mac with kit prices nearing mid 4ks...you could get the brand new reliable Lage 9mm upper (take your pick, lots of good ones); depending on chosen upper, run a 50 rd magwell mag or a 31/72 rd external mag/ drum and your break even (assuming $0.30/ 9mm and $0.08 / 22LR) is ~11k rounds! No thank you....9mm Lage upper FA all the way!

Well...I'm not crying foul, but old CC Busters on GB suuuure seems to fetch a premium for their penny auctions. $550 for an M-10 wire stock, $700 for a used m11 upper and some worn-out cast internals. $3500 for a 22 kit??? Few other sellers are fetching $330 for a 40-rd Cobray m-10 mag. Just sayin.

CC Busters on GB

who is that?

M10 :
I watched him sell 3 properly marked 10 rnd 45 mags. All went for 100 to 120.
500 for a wire stock is not to far fetched last one i saw sell was 450.
A week after I replaced mine crom another board member.

Like a dummy I sold my wire stock for like 50 bux to a board member.
Next one that came up for sale on this forum I purchased for 150.
Was dumb of me to sell the OEM stock just to replace it a 3x the price.

Seems all things mac are now collectible. Look at the SWD suppressor thread even those old two stage cans are up there.

I agree. When Ducktown M12s are fetching $900, and TEXAS closed bolt Macs (gag) are breaking $1300, all bets are off.

If only I could find my old Don Johnson jacket from high school. I bet that bit*h is worth $500...lol

 

[M10]

who is that?

I don't wanna mention their full name. Not trying to libel a seller. I have not scanned their closed listings to pick out shill patterns, etc. I don't wanna know either way, nor is it my intention to bid on chum in a shark tank. I love gbroker, but my last sales (an Mak-90 and Saiga shotgun) wound-up getting drunk bids. One of the two actually paid (MAK-90 buyer). I almost felt bad for him. Let's just say it sold for Polytech prices. It was LNIB though.

The Saiga buyer bid my shotgun up to $2200, waiting almost 15 min each time to counter another bidder. After almost two hours, Mr. B- feedback had scored a Saiga 12 for $2200. When he awoke the next day, I suppose his email box was full of sellers wanting to settle-up, myself included. He is no longer active (under that account, at least).

It is certainly a seller's mkt for MAC goodies.

I just listed my Fleming M11a1 conversion kit on GB. I have 3 other .22 full auto options and it never gets used any more. Time to let it go.

Imagine how much smaller the uppers could be if they used S&W 15-22 mags.

I am jealous I don’t have a cocking piece for mine. I had to make one.
