AA 22cal Standard Conversion Kit

[SemperFi1977m]

like usual....the WalMart closest to me was out of what I came for. No CCI MiniMags and only 1 box of Remington Golden Bullet. Since I only have 100 rounds, I only ran 3 mags through it from the kitchen out the back door....I'll use the rest up when the rain lets up and I can hang some targets. Threw a tin can aout about 25 feet and consistantly hit it after I found I was hitting high....I need to adjust the rear sight.

First 2 mags I fired at a steady pace, and with no jams on the Remington ammo, I rapid fired the last mag.....still no jams. It isnt locking back on the last round with either mag I have, but I suspect it may be having to do with my RIA and not the conversion lol. I have a gap between my mags (22 and 45) and the notch in the bottom of the frame, i.e. they hang down....I think its a common issue with Rocks. I may try one of those EGW mag releases that brings your magazine up tighter.

reading from the site, did you swap out hammer springs?

No I did not. I saw that too on the site. My kit isnt new, and has nothing in the manual about changing spring weight and didnt have a spring with it either. I will call AA tomorrow and ask them about the hammer spring and if it needs changed on the kit I have. It says the factory 1911 spring can cause jams, but Im having no jams so far.

It does mention that some manufacturer's plunger springs and/or slide stops can cause issues with slide locking back.....so I will tinker with that

Looking at the site, I found under the specials tab discontinued commander models for $175 thats $100 off regular price. Thats right up my price range so I grabbed one. Says its a Feb 2010 model and current production has changed a little not sure what hoping like its the FCS!! It might turn out to be a complete pile of junk haha but Im going to brave it.

I was actually thinking about posting that on here lol.....saw them myself when I was figuring if I wanted to buy the one I got. That's a heck of a deal!...but I wanted the 5inch barrel and couldnt walk away from that one with no FCS lol. When you get it, post it on here for we can see what's different on it. Maybe this will turn into a 22 conversion sticky lol.

Did you notice that ALL current models (Target, Standard, and Commander) are backordered? Been that way more at least several monthes......the kit you ordered is the only ones available on their site and may be that way for quite some time

Here's the link to the closeout commander ones if anyone is interested: http://www.advantagearms.com/mm5/mer..._Code=Specials
