Hi Everyone,
I am in the process of developing hi-capacity magazines for the Advantage Arms .22LR conversion kits for the Glock 17 / 22 and 19 / 23 models. If everything continues to go as planned, the first prototype mags should be ready for beta testing sometime in July. I am currently looking for beta test volunteers that own either an Advantage Arms 17-22 or a 19-23 .22LR conversion kit. In addition to Glock model 17 / 22 and 19 / 23 owners, I especially need volunteers that use their A.A. conversion kits in conjunction with Glock models: 31, 34, 35 & 37 and models: 25, 32 & 37. (All beta testers can either keep their beta test mag or will receive a free mag once the finalized design is ready.) I expect to have more volunteers than I will actually need for the beta testing. However, if you volunteer and are not chosen to be a beta tester, you will be added to my e-mail contact list for priority customer consideration as soon the first production batch is ready for sale. (This means that you will have the opportunity to purchase these mags before anyone else who did not volunteer as a beta tester.) Sorry, but I will not accept any pre-orders or pre-payments. Please e-mail [email protected] if you would like to volunteer. Please be sure to specify the type of A.A. conversion kit(s) and the Glock model(s) that you own. (Sorry, but all volunteers must reside in states that allow pistol magazines with capacities of 20+ rounds.) Thank you in advance for your assistance. I will be posting additional updates as new information becomes available. Sincerely, Dan Auth Conversion Caliber Supply, LLC |

This is great news, Dan, and I suspect there will be huge demand for these when they are tested and ready to sell.
In spite of owning too may rimfire pistols already, I've been thinking about getting an AA conversion for some time now –– this should be enough to make me finally do it. Best of luck!!! |

I'd love a high cap mag for the AA conversion kit. I have a Glock 17 with AA law enforcement 22 kit.

Man I'll tell you what, if you can make a reliable and affordable high-capacity mag for the AA conversion, you will not be able to keep them in stock! I assume this will sit flush with the bottom of the mag well? (that's what I'm hoping anyway) If so, I am under the impression that .22LR magazine works the best when the rounds are kept in line and not staggered? How does your design account for that? I have always though that a Ruger 10/22 type of rotating cylinder might be the answer? I am curious to see what you have come up with but if you are not ready to talk details yet, I fully understand. |

I would love some, if I could get my hands on an AA conversion.

Email sent. I have been waiting on these for a while. Loading 10rds at a time gets old.

My thanks to everyone who has volunteered thus far. I will be sending e-mail confirmations to you all within the next day or two, so you will know that your e-mail was received and that you've been added to my list of potential beta testers. I will contact everyone who volunteered to let them know whether or not they will be needed for beta testing. Please don't expect any decisions to be made anytime before mid-June.
Thank you all for your interest and willingness to help with this project. Dan Conversion Caliber Supply, LLC |

Dan,
I can't be an effective beta tester because I spend more than 10 months a year in the Saudi oil fields. But I defintely want some for both my G17-22 AA kit and my G19-13 AA kit as soon as they become available. Brazos Jack |

Please send me one for testing! I've got the AA 19 conversion for my full auto 19 that I will be able to test with.

if you need another beta tester, let me know glock 19 AA LE model.

AA doesn't make a 34 or 35 conversion. It would be a 17/22 slide on a 34/35 frame which is the same as a 17/22 frame.

Email sent for beta testing.
Any update on the status of the mags? |
|
Man, this would be awesome. Any idea on making them for the large frame guns too?

I would consider them for other Glock models, but .22LR conversion mags for the 17 / 22 and 19 / 23 models are my top priority for now.
The planned design is for a 25rd .22LR mag that fits flush into the grip like the A.A. mag and does not protrude below the frame. Maybe some of the other Glock models will allow for a higher capacity .22LR mag, but we'll cross that bridge if/when we get there. Thank you again to everyone that offered to help with the beta testing. I now have more than enough volunteers. As promised, I will let you all know regardless of whether or not your assistance will be needed. In the meantime, I'd appreciate your continued patience. I'd rather move slowly in the design phase and get everything right the first time, rather than rushing into beta testing with sloppy prototypes and ending up having to make numerous design tweaks along the way. Thanks again for your interest in this project. I will be posting all project updates in this thread, so please don't feel you need to call or e-mail me in order to get the latest information.

Dan CCS, LLC If I could make a suggestion, is it possible that the magazine could be designed as an insert to a factory 17rd magazine body? It seems like a steel insert, including the feedlips, could be slid into a factory mag body, and still have enough room for 15+ rounds of .22lr. I think you could avoid a lot of fit problems and make a very consistent product by selling just the insert. Maybe you are already going in a different direction, but I would hate to see an all plastic, full body design that quickly wears out or fits poorly. |

Yes, it is possible (although a steel mag insert would bring its own set of concerns). The question is whether or not it is really necessary. I suspect that A.A. would have already gone with a steel insert if premature wear and/or poor fit proved to be common problems. Has anyone ever had these types of problems with an A.A. all plastic mag? If so, could you please describe them in detail. FYI... I'm all for a stronger and more durable mag, but any design that can't hold a minimum of 20rds is out of the question. |

I have shot my AA mags quite a bit and there are have been no signs of wear at all.

Dan CCS, LLC Sounds good to me. I would love to see these be ready by yesterday but I'd rather you take your time and get it right the first time. I also think you're on the right path as far as creating a new mag as opposed to a mag insert. Metal feed lips are always nice but the AA mags seem to work fine and last without them. No offense to eddiein but I think an insert is a horrible idea (regardless of capacity). I doubt there is even enough room on the 9mm mags to fit an insert into but if nothing else, instead of one mag for the 17/22 AA kit, you would need one insert for G17 mags and another for G22 mags and then another for etc., etc.. |

once you have the orig model done, i would be interested to see a version for G20/21
this will be alot better than the 13 rds i have now from the 3 round spacer. |

I finally got my kit (thanks go time gear)! I'd love to help if possible....and I'm in Colorado too!
|
|
Greatly interested................ I wish Glock had done this 10 years ago..............
|

Sent in beta test request. Also, when this gets rolling I would love to have some for my marvel preision conversion. I know they make some but they are only so so. I hope these AA mags won't be overly expensive although I do realize the huge cost to undertake something like this.
Good luck and let us know. Bob |

So how are these mags doing? Reliable? Not? What? As far as I know, nobody has any yet? |

Quoted:
As far as I know, nobody has any yet? Nope, nobody has them yet. The .22LR prototype mags for the A.A. Glock 17 / 22 kit are still in development. The final version of the 17 / 22 mags will be released before any other type of A.A. kit Glock mags. I have another product development project that needs to take priority over this one, so the release of the 17 / 22 prototype mags will likely not happen until at least mid-October. Don't worry, this project is still very much alive. We're just running on a revised timetable. Thanks for your continued patience. I will continue to post all project updates in this thread.

Thanks CCS! I'm happy to know it's still in the works. How much farther behind are the 19 mags after the 17s in your estimation?

tagging along... if I can ever find a LE17-22 in stock I'll need a bunch of these mags!

Just tagging this so I can order some when they're available.
|

FYI: As long as they were fairly priced, I wouldn't mind if they ended up only being 15-20 rounds per mag. The AA 10rd mags arn't the easiest things to buy anyways... 15 rds would still be a great improvement over 10.... 17rds would be what a g17 mags carries anyways.
