Good work mak91! Are you able to get it to run without the can?
This looks great! 3d printed mags is really exciting to think about! Some Qs about the mag design: What is the capacity and how big does your print space need to be to make them?
Time for an update. Some tweaks were made to the m11/22 model and a new prototype was built to send off to the atf for a determination letter. Here are two videos running Federal bulk ammo in both my custom 3d printed mag and a mag that Practical Solutions provided me which I 3d printed a mag well adapter for it. I'll be sending the upper off to Sam soon and he will submit it to the atf.

Practical Solutions supplied mag
Let me know if you need a beta tester. I got 10k MM rounds and one of your A1 20 round mags.
A McFadden speed loader adapter would be a great offering.
One of the main reasons I am not interested in this .22 upper is the 4.5" barrel. The short length does keep a lot of ammo subsonic, but in my experience, it also limits the reliability of a number ammo types as well. Particularly the lower cost, bulk ammo that I tend to use for .22 full auto shooting.
The use of specialty mags is another downside I do not care for. Either 12/22 or Atchisson pattern AR .22 mags are the magazine patterns I would consider.

MHO, YMMV, etc. Be well.
M11/22 is in Sam's hands and soon to be on its way to the atf for a determination letter. I am working on the m10/22 version now. The baby m11's will be next.
Hi All, to be added to the wait list, please send an email to tina@macmachineguns.com and let me know on which list(s) you want to be placed. We hope to be sending these prototypes to ATF very soon. Just so that we can hurry up and wait.
Thx...t
