Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - FN 5.7x28 - any chance of 22 LR conversions?
Posted: 3/16/2006 3:10:52 AM EDT
What are the chances someone will make a 22LR conversion kit for FN's 5.7x28 weapons?
The 5.7x28 bores are the same as the .223 AR-15s, so a liner won't be needed.
On the P90, the mag design may be a challenge...

I think the big issue would be the way they stack in mags. You would run into the same problem that HK did when they made the MP5 stick mags. That rim tends to have to be staggered or it will not work. I could see a 40cal version more practical. It would have to be built out of a new receiver, bolt, and so forth from the ground up though.

A very smart guy could make one tube fed through the buttstock like the Old mossbergs were.  This might well work, preserving the weight and asthetics but adding the fun caliber in a relatively simple system.
