Took the M11/.380 Plunge; Form 4 in the Mail!

[DBinTexas]

After our UT friend SubGunFan made me shoot his Baby Mac at UT2007 and UT 2008, I've dreamed of having my own!

So I finally found a NIB deal I couldn't pass up, so I paid up, and put the Form 4 in the mail yesterday for my in state transfer!

Now the wait begins... Any guesses? Will I have my approved Form back before May 20, so I can shoot it at UT2010?

In addition... Includes a Supressor for just the cost of my second $200 tax stamp! Also included - ammo, lots of mags, and 2 stocks (M10 and M11). Thanks to you guys who gave me feedback and guidance as I researched this Baby!

Congrats on the purchase!

By the way, are you in the mens' locker room in that pic? Seems like an odd place to handle your gun... but then again, maybe not :lol

I was thinking school? ...anyway :welcome Great Deal on getting a little M11a1, start collecting some mags and .380 ammo while you wait on the transfer!!

I was considering the M11A1 and CAC380 for $2800 on Sturm recently but the 3 transfers blew the deal.

Looks good. Stop bringing guns to school!

Good question, Medphys... Actually, the Seller is a Police officer and he kept the M11 in his locker!

No, no... its not Golds Gym! Haha

Congrats man! I sent my form 4's in Saturday morning. Lets have a race to see who gets them back first.

Just how likely does everyone think that a gun advertised as NIB is actually NIB? I know there are many variables involved, such as the reputation of the seller, the visible condition of the gun, etc.; but can one ever be certain (excluding guns still in the original plastic wrapping)?

It may be a race but more of the marathon type.....

I like the SWD M11A1 like you're getting... a lot. I keep thinking about one, but other things get in the way. The M11a1 and the M11 are about as close to owning a full auto pistol as most people will come. To me, the upside of the M11A1 is cheap magazines as opposed to the M11 mags which are well over a hundred bucks each if you can locate them. Now, if you can just find more .380acp to feed it...

FWIW, the MAC-10 stock won't fit.

 

[M1A....]

Nice Piece! Looks like it takes the small metal mags. Who is the manufacturer? How many mags came with the gun? You're going to have a blast with it. It's one of my favorites.

I thought the M11 was just the abbreviated way of saying M11-A1 (fa) and sM11-A1 (semi ob) and were all factory .380cal using the somewhat htf steel mags?

Are the factory 9mm full auto M11/Nine's (cheap magazine version) technically called M11a1's on form 3's/4's too??

...Are the factory 9mm full auto M11/Nine's (cheap magazine version) technically called M11a1's on form 3's/4's too??

The first Model 11 or MAC-11 as they're commonly called, were first manufactured in 1969 by MAC in Powder Springs, GA. When MAC went under RPB bought the remaining inventory which consisted of many uncompleted frames. At some point RPB completed the frames they obtained from MAC and the new receivers on the .380guns, both full autos and semi auto open bolt, were marked M11A1.

SWD continued with the M11A1 designation for their .380acp buzzguns although they aren't exactly the same as the MAC and RPB guns.

The full auto SWD produced 9mm is listed on a Form 3/4 as M11/Nine. *(SMALL FRAME 9mm)
The full auto SWD produced .380 is listed on a Form 3/4 as M11A1.

As far as I know, the full auto M11A1 uses the same Zytel mag, (with heat treated and bent feed lips), as the SWD M11/Nine.

The magwell on DBinTexas's gun LOOKS like a typical SWD Zytel magwell but I could be mistaken.

So who's the maker DBinTexas?

 

[DBinTexas]

Mine is RPB stamped, but has SWD under grip. It has the narrow mag well. It came with 7 stock narrow mags, some real nice, some rough but all useable. And 5 aftermarket mags brand new... wont know until get gun how they work.

I may be mistaken, but the stock on it now is the M10 wire stock, which is slightly different than the M11 stock.

Agreed its hard to know if really NIB, but gun looks new, not a scuff or mark. Current transferring owner said he never shot it, and bought it from a guy's safe that was there as original owner.

 

[DBinTexas]

So..... it's been 3 days since I mailed F4s. You think they've started on my forms in Atlanta yet???

 

[0331]

I remember when SubGunFan cast his spell on us. I want one of them too.

It is so little and dainty but when you lay on the trigger it throws alot of lead PDQ. Wicked little thing for sure.

Sounds like a SWD completed RPB M11A1... not much different than when RPB completed MACs.
Who's listed on the Form 4 as the manufacturer?

I may be mistaken, but the stock on it now is the M10 wire stock, which is slightly different than the M11 stock.

M10s have a much wider frame. In the photo you posted, that's an M11/9 stock. It's got that extra loop that makes it much easier to keep in your shoulder pocket.

Good thing you have plenty of mags for the little buzzgun! That's a real sweet toy!

 

[DBinTexas]

SWD on F4.

Yeah 0331... "Dainty" is the word that came to my mind! LOL

[DBinTexas]

Ah yes, Vegas.... thanks for clarification on the stock.

Now if I can just get my SBR V-51 here before UT '10 also!
