Before I purchased this conversion kit I looked all over the internet for possible flaws and the 1 common thing that people don't say is to lube it up. Don't have it dripping outta the gun but for sure every nook and crack is coated. 2000 rds later its had zero issues. Well well well worth the $$$.
I've had mine for prob 3 years. Shot dry every other shot would not eject. Cleaned it and lubed it up same affect. Don't think I've ever shot a full or ¾ of a mag thru it without issue. Reluctantly got one for my dad a month ago. His immediately seated the bolt better than mine ever did ( I've always had to insert mag charge then recharge usually ejecting an unspent round) but his has exact same issues.
This is an FYI for everybody. A viewer suggested I look into the Blackdog Machine LLC mags for the kit. I ordered them in from Midway USA. They have a tighter fit, steel feed "lips" and a sliding load assist. 32 rounds, I have had NO issues and they drop free. I hope this helps
@@CH-ce5jv I have not purchased 50 round drum, I don't think I could load fast enough and really afford to supply my grandkids with enough 22LR if they had a drum. They can burn through 300 rounds really FAST with 20 rounds at a time. Got to Love it. Thanks for Watching.
I a craft glue, E6000 on the mag, then used a dremel to file it down for my tight fit. It works well to hold the mag in place, but the mag does NOT drop free. I can train with this, pulling the mag out, but prefer to save time and reload by ejecting and grabbing the full mag at the same time. Thanks For Watching. I'm still a believer in this product.
I was hesitant at first to purchase, I have ran appx 3000 rounds thru 4 different ar setups Springfield ar saint victor Camden defense Anderson, and Aero precision. 16" 10.5" 8" barrels. Works very well, a few misfeeds here and there 5 in 100 rounds. Used winchester super x, Aguila, cci, and all worked well.
My grandkids can BURN through MANY rounds of 22LR is short order, I have 6 mags and I'm loading as fast as I can to keep up with their trigger finger. Thanks for watching
Mine seems to work fine at first, but then start jamming around 50-100 rounds in. Sometimes the trigger doesn't reset, sometimes it doesn't load the round in completely. Get's really frustrating! I have a borebuddy, and I lubed it up. I'll try that magazine fix next.
I like this idea, The BlackDog Mags are serving my needs for now, I may make a dedicated lower for the 22LR with this idea. I have 9 CMMG mags I would like to keep using, this may work. Thanks for watching.
I used two round head 4-40 x .125 round head screws, added to the back of the magazine. These are adjustable if the threaded holes tapped in the magazine aren't opened fully providing drag on the screw do lock it in place.
Why don't you get a hold of cmmg they have a lifetime warranty on it and is it a problem with the magazines they might be able to tell you what to do or magazines
I have reliability issues, saw this video, yes I do have a bunch of play too. I put some tape on the backside of the mag and its so much tighter now. Have to hit the range to see if it makes a difference. Thanks man! 👊
Glad it may help. I have since went with BlackDog Machine LLC mags with steel feed lips. They are .060 bigger and work great. The bolt holds open but when the mag drops out it closes. Thanks for the feed back.
Thanks For Watching, My lowers are more of the "economy" models and maybe part of my issue. I have moved to the BlackDog Machine LLC mags and been pleased with their reliability.
Question, I have new model CMMG22 Conversion kit and when I pulled trigger the 1st time, -click-I had to pull charging handle 3 times before it fired and rounds were getting hung up and I had to remove those. I tried a lot of different stuff to get it to shoot or cycle to rounds correctly but nothing worked. Now the buffer spring is the one I installed for my AR 15 5.56. I spoke with a guy at the gun range and he checked things out and came to conclusion that the buffer spring was to strong and that was the problem -he felt. Anyone agree or have any advice? When I would load a 10 round mag, the most rounds fired without failure was 3 !
The CMMG has a captured buffer spring in the assembly, it does not use or need the buffer spring in the AR buffer tube. You can remove the AR buffer spring and give it a try, but I don't think that will help. I have contemplated cutting the captured buffer spring on the CMMG unit, but had success with keeping the mag pushed forward to allow proper feeding to the ramp. These kits like at least a 1250 fps bullet to cycle the round out. I used popsicle sticks in the rear of the magwell and had good luck with that. keep me updated on your progress.
@@PaPaDsRangeTimeWatts Thanks Sir, I'll try the things you mentioned tomorrow. On this site ,KAK , there's a interchangeable buffer tube that you can make 3 differently buffer weights with 3 Aluminum, 3 steel, and anot6heavier metal With zpacers and tips. You can make from 1.7, 2.2, and 2.6 .3 of each metal types but the wont work on heavy loads-they say. Some put 1 aluminium and 2 steel to make a buffer weight. There's a chart on their website. I just finished turning my 10 round CMMG into a 25 round mag in 5 minutes. I'm sure you know about that. And I'm going to get strips of velcro to put on the front on each mag to stop wobble-maybe that will help ! I'LL keep you updated. AND THAKS AGAIN ! .
@@steveelias5227 Yo just lube the fuck out of the 22 bcg and you will never have issues. Ive shot over 2000 rds and as long as you have it lubed before you shoot you get zero issues.
Thanks for watching, I'm enjoying making these videos. I have not been a part of a FD but have much respect for those who risk their lives to save others.
My had been working great since new. Now today I tryed in another rifle and it had one shot one misfire one after another. Tryi g to think of this means it’s the rifle or the bolt. Maybe it’s dirty enough now to have problems or maybe it’s the rifle because it had worked great in another. Hi m going to clean the bolt and try again. I was some decent ammo that had worked fairly flawless n another rifle b im thinking maybe it’s the particular trigger spring set in the rifle possibly since it was seemingly light striking
I did something similar to your suggestion. I used an E6000, let it set and filed it down to keep it pushed forward. I can’t find the perfect balance to get the mags to drop free and still preform as expected. For now I have to rip out the mags on a reload. Better than jams. Thanks for watching and offering the comment.
Your solution is a good idea for fresh PLASTIC magazine, but once your mag lips worn out due to excessive firing, it will start to Jam. I spent several mag from Black dogs, cmmg chiappa and other plastic mag and yet after sometime when the plastic lips of mag worn out, it start making a problem again. The problem solved when I used a mag with STEEL lips(available now in the market). But tha'ts one problem solved only. There are several failure that will arise specially if you are competing in shooting matches firing thousand of round in short period of time. loose Extractor, broken firing pin , hollow part of charging handle and broken bolt Fork. After solving these failures. it never occur to me again for so many years in practice and actual match until now. I love this conversion.
Thanks for the info. I ordered 4 of the steel lip mags from Midway just now. I run a lot of rounds through these conversation kits. My grandkids love them. I want them to have the best experience possible when shooting.
I enjoy shooting 300 rounds and feel like I can still afford to eat, The 22LR allows me to continue training. I am having really good luck with the BlackDog Machine LLC steel lip mags. They fit tighter and the load assist is easy. Thank You for watching and the comments
I recently purchased this kit, and it has been an absolute train wreck with the CMMG magazines it came with (red followers). The mags themselves are under-sprung, don't fit the mag well, and have about an 80% fail rate on the first round because the feed angle is off. I bought Bore Buddy springs and replaced all the mags with those...made no difference. Tried 5 types of ammo including Stingers and Mini Mags, to no avail. My last resort is trying an M&P 22 magazine...if that doesn't work I'm done with it and will go back to my 10/22...so frustrating
I wish I had good news for you. Mine is now working with the Black Dog Machine LLC mags with the steel feed lips. I also went to Tippmann Arms M4-22LR and have had NO issues while training. I can hold the CMMG mags forward in the mag well and get them to function, but training like that is not workable. Thanks for watching
I have put about 250 rounds through my conversion through A223 wild chamber and had the 2nd round not wanna go in I think I had 27 rounds in the 25 round mag
Thanks for watching, I recently started using the Blackdog Machine LLC mags with the steel feed lips from Midway USA. These are a tighter fit and drop free with a last round bolt hold open. The load assist is also a nice feature. Merry Christmas
I finally tired my conversion kit today and I don't have a feeding issue but the hammer hits the round and nothing happens. Any advice? I have a 11.5" barrel. Running a bravo company lower and an elfman trigger.
I'm not sure about the Elfman trigger, My Timmney Trigger hits to light on the rim fire rounds to make them go bang. I have a RISE Armament trigger that works great. I would run a different type of ammo before looking into the trigger. Keep me updated on your progress so I can pass on the findings. Thanks for Watching
Im having ejection issues putting it in 10.5 ar , but none in ar 16" , my first thought is not enough burn to blowback the ejector, also oiled cleaned it and gun . Even used high velocity ammo, was using my ar pistol with kit to dispatch on my trap line. Anyone else try it in ar pistol and have issues?
I tried a company that makes weights to slow down the action of the bolt, they clam it "slamming" back causes the bolt to bounce and cause double feeds. I don't have any experience with a 10.5" barrel and the CMMG kit.
@@eugenejensen576 I have not tried it, I went with the Black Dog Machine Mags and found they are VERRY reliable. I was able to get 4 mags for less than $100 shipped and have been pleased with how they work.
Just a question or two. Does the round feed into the chamber, does it eject when cycling the charging handle? Do you have a light primer strike on the bullet? Have you tried the Ammo in a different gun. If you have a light primer strike, what trigger are you running? Do you have another upper you can try the kit in? Does the bullet show signs of dragging or damage when you eject it. Is the CMMG kit new, or is it the early model? Has it ever worked. I had a Timmney trigger that just didn’t hit the firing pin hard enough to fire the round. I would love to help you work through this.
Thanks for the suggestion, I used several different "ideas" on the mags. My issue when used is the mags don't drop free on reloads. I changed to BlackDog Machine mags with steel feed lips and have been VERY pleased on how they work. Thanks for watching
My first thought would be to put some electrical or Gorilla tape on the back of the mag forcing the mag forward. Although over time, the tape might get worn out. Did you ever find a good solution?
I used a commercial glue, E6000, on it. After it dried I used a dremel to sand off what I didn't need. The mags don't drop free, but is reliable. The glue also wears down. I'm coming in from a range set now, I had a Q tip wedge that worked well also.
@@nebur1119 I use higher velocity ammo, 1250 FT per minute and up. the Golden Bullet has run well when I keep the mag pushed forward. The bullet will bend when trying to feed when not forward. My jams have been mechanical related and not ammo issues.
I had the same problem, it was my Timmny Trigger. The CMMG ran fine on the Rise Armament and a stock trigger. I really like the Timmney it just was a little light on the strikes. If you believe its the CMMG firing pin, contact customer support and they will repair it. Brownells sells parts also.
Yes you showed us twice of your fix, 1 could've been enough, could you show what exactly your issue was without holding it forward. You fixed an issue that wasn't completely clear as to what the issue was. Good video tho.
Thanks for watching, The "slack" in the mag in the magwell changes the angle of the bullet hitting the feed ramp. When forward, the angle is correct and the bullet feeds as expected in the chamber, when the mag is back the nose of the bullet hits the bottom of the feed ramp and bends the nose, which jams the process. Black Dog Machine LLC has mags with steel feed lips and are .060 larger, this tightens them enough to eliminate the jam. I can make the CMMG mags tighter, but they don't drop free on reloads. I run MANY rounds through the CMMG conversion kit, very fine products with a great warranty.
Seems all the internet pewers have problems with this kit. All the guys I know who run them in real life don’t. I fired 250 rounds yesterday not a single failure. Not one. Same for my buddy. Don’t believe everyone on the net showing problematic functioning. The Cmmg kits work awesome.
I agree the BCG is great, the customer support is awesome. I've run thousands of rounds with these. My issue is the mags get worn and have "slop" which changes the angle of the bullet hitting the feed ramp. I have changed to Blackdog Machine LLC mags with steel feed lips and have had zero jams. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback. On a second note, I found the Timmey Trigger does not hit hard enough to give reliable strikes on the rimfire round, Rise Armament is not my "go to" trigger for the CMMG.
My light strike issue was from a Timmney trigger, the stock trigger and the Rise Armament both worked fine. I ran the light strike rounds through the gun with the Rise and they ALL fired. I think it had something to do with the 2 stage models. Let me know if you find a solution and I will pass it on.
Is yours a dedicated actual 22 barrel or does it shoot through the fake cartridge? I have the dedicated 22 barrel, and they will jam every two or three shots. It is awful. The accuracy is astounding if I shoot it is a single shot but it is unable to reload itself.
Before I purchased this conversion kit I looked all over the internet for possible flaws and the 1 common thing that people don't say is to lube it up. Don't have it dripping outta the gun but for sure every nook and crack is coated. 2000 rds later its had zero issues. Well well well worth the $$$.
Yes and there are kits out there that work great for fine tuning the bolt. With different springs buffers and weights. Its not the mag lmfao...
I've had mine for prob 3 years. Shot dry every other shot would not eject. Cleaned it and lubed it up same affect. Don't think I've ever shot a full or ¾ of a mag thru it without issue. Reluctantly got one for my dad a month ago. His immediately seated the bolt better than mine ever did ( I've always had to insert mag charge then recharge usually ejecting an unspent round) but his has exact same issues.
I found a 1 inch strip of soft Velcro tape on the front of the magazine about half an inch from the top works great! Holds the mag rigid.
Thanks for the suggestion and Thanks for watching

I think it had something to do with the 2 stage models. Let me know if you find a solution and I will pass it on.

Is yours a dedicated actual 22 barrel or does it shoot through the fake cartridge? I have the dedicated 22 barrel, and they will jam every two or three shots. It is awful. The accuracy is astounding if I shoot it is a single shot but it is unable to reload itself.
Put a little square rite in the front

Cool, I'll give them a try, Thanks for watching
That's deal breaker for me. Shimming the mag or holding it forward...Nah
