I have the Suomi, U45, and U9 configurations, but there are several other variants available, past and present. |

Attached File Attached File Hopefully I'll be getting it to the range this Friday. It runs like a top in semi, but part of the kit is the trigger group/magazine well, and I need to make sure it runs with the new parts installed. |

Nice - Look forward to the report on how it works on full auto. |

| Brand new member here. I recently submitted my paperwork for a registered trigger group m2. We went old school paper route. How long has everyone’s wait time been? I got to shoot it the other day. Ran great with usgi ammo and 15 round mags, but jammed with 30 rounders. Not sure if it was the mags, ammo, springs, or what. I tried an original and a modern 30 round mag. |

I tried an original and a modern 30 round mag. The gun I posted above (well, transferable conversion kit) was submitted October 2023 and approved July 2024 using the old school paper form method. My host gun was 100% with both 15 and 30 round mags in semi. Part of the conversion kit is a new magwell since it is attached to the trigger group. With the kit installed I am still 100% with 15 round mags in semi or full, but I get the occasional stoppage with 30s. By occasional, I mean M1/2 Carbine occasional, about once every other magazine. The brand of 30 doesn't seem to matter. For that matter is has been 100% with various 15s, GI surplus and new production from KCI and Keep Shooting. The mag well on my conversion kit is significantly tighter than the one from the host gun. I suspect the difference is tolerances is causing the problems with the 30s. I haven't really messed with it a lot. .30 Carbine ammo is expensive and 15 rounds is just enough to be fun without burning up huge amounts of ammo quickly. |

My buddy giving my M2 a trial run. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M4IgDBjquIU?feature=share [youtube]shorts/https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M4IgDBjquIU?[/youtube]  M2 Carbine at the range My M2 runs like a raped ape - Essentially flawless. I use cheap Korean KCI 30 round mags and 15 round mags that I got from Gunmagwarehouse. I also use the mags from Keepshooting.com and those work good too. I didn't waste time with buying expensive USGI mags and didn't need to. I would verify your bolt parts are upgraded if it has ongoing jams. Some carbines run fast and out-pace the mag spring speed to lift the next round. Mine runs fairly quick but still I did an early experiment to see if swapping mag springs with new Wolff springs made a difference - it didn't really - they run good with KCI mag springs. |
