Looking into building a 22TCM ar15, would you be able to make a barrel for a DI gun? Thinking 8" barrel with suppressor and JP silent capture spring.
Also, I saw that several years back there was talk about a PPS43 mag adapter. 22TCM ammo fits real well in the PPS43 magazine, would you happen to also have a mag adapter available? @Mad-Machinist |

No problem, I was in your shoes a couple weeks ago, not fun. I discovered that the mean arms magazine inserts should work with 22tcm, so no rush on the mag adapter.
From what I've read, I think maybe a 1-9 twist barrel may be ideal, but would be open to anywhere from 1-7 twist to 1-10. |

Just got a solid done for the first trial fit of the PPS43 magwell adapter......gonna try printing one with my new 3D printer......then we'll make necessary adjustments.....will make it MUCH easier to make. Takes almost a whole day to make one the way I make now out of aluminum and steel. I will start looking for barrel blanks.....

Awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!
In anticipation, I have 1000 rounds of 22TCM on the way, 3 PPS43 mags, and am just about done with a 5.56 form 1 suppressors that should work great on this project. |

I hope to be caught up with all the backlog form the election panic and my encounter with Rice Rabies caught up in the next 4 or 5 weeks......maybe sooner.....then I can get some of the more creative things I want to do......like work on my inspired by subgun kits
 and get the 43 mag adapter up as a production item.

Well if you need a hand with prototypes, I have a small 3D printer that I could probably breath life back into with a little work. Happy to help any way I can!

Thanks.....but I got an area squared away and got the first of what I hope is many printers set up this weekend.....Lots of little stuff like blast deflectors, mag adapters, and even mag catches....

I actually have an STL and am in testing now with a 3d printed filler block with a steel mag catch. Gonna put a forced reset trigger in my tok 15 and run a couple of thousand rounds to see if I can break one. and see how the FRT is and kill two birds with one stone.

It works.....but I need to figure a way to reinforce the feed ramp working on several ideas now |
