Good to hear. It's been nice seeing all the options for Mac's expand over the last decade.

Congrats to Lage. In addition to the additional caliber options, it's worth buying just to support Lage and these types of platform innovations.

This is interesting historically as well. Many years ago, a C2 was making M60 conversion uppers for the MAC-10, but were later confiscated from owners after it was determined to be an MG by itself. As I remember, the C2 made the first one on spec for Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, then a few others after. It even became a meme among C2s before memes became a thing, the belt-fed MAC-10 as something to mean taking something way too far.
And now these radical departures from the base MAC-10 are seemingly ok… |

The radical departures that Lage makes are not without scrutiny.
The BATF has shown particular scrutiny and difficulty getting MG conversions - Some interpretation that If the gun can "somehow" be made to fire without it being mechanically tied to the MG than its an MG by itself. Say for example if an AR15 upper and a hammer and nail were used to set off a cartridge in an upper by itself makes it an MG or firearm. I believe Lage went through some reviews and changes with the BATF so it couldn't be used or easily made to be used with anything but an actual MAC MG frame. This makes kit designers be extra hand tied as many ideas could be considered an MG by itself sometimes on a whim of what is "easy" |

I’m #208 on the M10/15 list and #255 on the M11A1/15 list. I probably have a while to wait, but I’m excited.

I’m #34 on the M10/15 list and #282 on the M11A1/15 list. I'm glad they are spread out...
.....But cant wait to get one |

I checked my e-mails from 2018 and seen that I’m #97 on the M11A1/15 list...wasn’t sure if I’d even e-mailed Richard to get on the list back then.

Any feedback on operation and reliability from the M11 owners?

I'm confused, is the MAX-10/15 Upper the only upper for the MAC 10/45 and the other 3 listed are for the M11?
Someone thats bored help me figure this out https://www.max-11.com/NewProducts.php |

Someone thats bored help me figure this out https://www.max-11.com/NewProducts.php View Quote MAX-10/15- for the MAC-10 9mm or .45 MAX-11A1/15- for the MAC-11A1 .380 MAX-11/15- for the cobray M11, there are 2 variants: one for an internal recoil system that requires no mods to the reciever, another to use an AR recoil system and requires the drilling of a small hole at the back of the reciever. The MAX-10/15 amd MAX-11A1/15 also have the two variants, they just list them as one product and you select which variant you want at order time. The MAX-11/15 came first and has been in production for a while, hence the reason they treated them as 2 different products. |

Yes the MAX-11/15 was available in two variants. Richard has stated that he will no longer produce the AR recoil version requiring the hole as there was little demand for it. He will continue to sell what he has in stock. The Max11A1/15 and Max10/15 are only available with the internal recoil system. I know this for a fact as I was #14 on the Max11A1/15 list and have received my upper. |

That is correct the Max11A1/15 and Max10/15 are only available with the internal recoil system. Paid for mine last week and got it yesterday just in time for 4th of July

@dogtired
Did you find assembly a pain? I've read the manual. Seems like it's a little more complicated than say an AR. |

Assembly is pretty simple. You can shoot the BCG across the room if you try. I sighted it in yesterday and did the function check. My local club says no full auto and of course someone showed up when I was going to “unleash the hounds”. I will try today.

I’ll give them a call tomorrow. I got an email about a week ago that said mine would be ready soon.
