BDM just had a sale. They had a wide variety available. Check to see if the sale (last week) is still on going. I have a mix but the bdm are the most consistent runners.

I used to use BDM mags for the CMMG conversion, then added the TACCOM? adapter and now run the S&W Magazines in it. Much easier to load...

I've got some Sig Sauer factory AR22 mags, they work in the cmmg conversions- same exact magazine, cheaper.

In my opinion there are only two options:
Black Dog Machine in any flavor---No bolt lock back feature--does hold bolt after last round but does not lock it. S & W with a Boonie Packer adapter https://www.redi-mag.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=52 Easy to load, adapter actually works and lock bolt back after last round. Dave N |

I have a several kits, and the bettermag is awesome, but I aslo have about 20 of the blackdog steel lip mags. I'd Skip the cmmg mags, I had nothing but trouble from them in comparison. yMMV

The only CMMG mags that are worth using are the original gray mags with green followers.

The fact that it makes a 22 conversion function exactly like a standard 5.56 is worth the $, the fact that you now get to use the excellent and easy to load S&W mags is just icing on the cake. I wound up buying some ten round S&W mags for mine for range use because of how long the 25 rounders are. Any time those mags go on sale I buy some. Cheap upgrade and money well spent

I don't want to thread jack or anything but I wanted to mention my less than positive experience with the Boonie Packer Better Mag adapter.
When I put the adapter in my register receiver M16 with a CMMG dedicated .22 upper (with anti-bounce weight and trip), I can't even cycle the bolt because something is rubbing. I was curious so I tried the S&W mags in my gun without the adapter and they work fine (but of course don't lock the bolt back). |

Fuzz... ya gotta cut a relief in the boonie packer frame to give the trip room to move, they didn't design it for full auto use. (not my pic)

I'll give a "+1" for the Boonie-Packer/Redi-mag/Better Mag (I think they are all the same company, not sure why so many names
 ).
My CMMG upper was very unreliable even after installing the TACCOM reliability kit. I put in the (insert favorite name here) adapter and with S&W mags it has been extremely reliable if not flawless. The S&W mags are also easier to load since they have the gizmo that allows you to depress the spring. I would absolutely recommend it. Just better all around. |

I don't have the adapter with me but in looking at this pics below of the uncut adapter, it looks like the areas I circled in green need to be notched, right? Just curious how come in all of these full auto .22 threads, I don't recall noticing anyone mention cutting the adapter?   |
