I've been saving for a while, and this is the only one that's affordable to me, seeing as to how I'm not rich, and am paying for daycare and formula right now. I consider it to be a poor mans SMG. I've wanted one for a long time. Sure, had I gone a different route in life than the military then law enforcement, then maybe I could get an M16, but regardless, I love my purchase.
Now I'm just trying to figure out what all to get for it, and start saving for a Lage upper. I've already found a lage m11/22 kit for a good price, and plan on getting a side cocking upper. I'm trying to figure out the best way to suppress the M11/22 kit. I'm thinking about sending the lage 22 kit and the upper/barrel to usmachinegun and having them chop the barrel and thread the insert with an adapter for my spectre II. Here's a pic. Not bad for $3200 in today's market.

the best suppressor value for the money is the bowers
get the 9mm and use it for 9 and 22 the customer service is the best of any gun vendor I ever dealt with the M11/9 is not a poor man's gun poor guys don't own $5000 firearms when they're selling for $10,000 you'll be glad you locked in now in stock form, the gun is something of a turd but the Lage stuff completely cured that problem and it's only going to get better going forward it's a good choice for a shooter MG |

bowers. get the .22 kit for the lage upper and not the conversion for the stock upper.

Impressive deal, thats a $4-5k MG easily. And as others have stated there is no such thing as a poor mans machine gun anymore, aside from maybe a bump fire stock.
My first upgrade for it would be a suppressor. |

Fantastic deal, Congrats!
As others have said Bowers suppressors work great with these - it is what I use on my MAC 10/9. |

Well I'm trying to see reviews on other suppressors that would also be reasonable on a pistol, like an octane 45.

I'd honestly just got with a dedicated can for this gun. $400 for a bowers that is rated to burn through mags and is big enough to not even worry about running dirty ass .22lr through it is worth it. Think about it this way, even with the cost of the gun, a bowers and both stamps your still under the going rate of just 11/9s today. |

I have the Bowers Vers9s and it is a great can. One of the advantages is that they offer thread conversions that screw into the can which will allow you to use it on that upper, the Lage upper and any other configuration you can think of.

Another vote for Bowers. I love my VERS 9S. Rugid construction, quiet and controls the gas well. Plus incredible customer service and support from Tom/Dorothy.

I've got a Bowers VERS 50 that I use on my 458 SOCOM and all 9mm MG's and it's been great. Much less blowback than on my Trident.

But I would figure those bowers cans would be a tad big to use on a glock. I'm looking for versatility

My point was that for the $$$ you saved with the deal you got, you can get a dedicated can for this gun AND another that would work better on your semis for net less money than if you had only purchased the MAC at the market price. |

That's a great deal! I love my m11/ nine and equipped with the max11k upper there isn't anything better for the money. The octane 9 works great with very little blowback and very quiet.

Would an Octane 45 with 9mm endcap do well? I'm thinking that way Vs a bowers can because eventually in going to get a Lage upper and I've read that pistol cans work with the slower rate of fire.

This is the exact boat I'm in. Although I'm heavily leaning towards the bowers Vers 9s. Just waiting to hear from the owners about some questions I have, which I can't seem to find any answers for. The Vers 9s is not much larger than a pistol can. And it IS meant for subguns. |

My thought was I did not want a big can with the Lage upper. Still have a couple of months before I will know how it works out. |

Great buy, that's what I paid for mine in 2011. Bowers is good for a suppressor I have the vers9, but don't hold your breath for their promised 3 lug adapter. Lage Max31 is great.
