Adv Arms Conv Kit and RGB Users Beware

[nick]

By .22 standards, it's pretty new, and it's on an essentially new glock frame. It's got about 1300 rounds through it and it's just starting to smooth out. I hadn't tried Federal since 300 rounds in or so, might be better now.

The problem with the Federal bulk pack ammo is kind of odd. I mis-typed in the other post, it fires fine, but the brass likes to stick in the chamber after firing and I have to push it out with a cleaning rod. Either the case in the Federal is thin or the extractor doesn't like the shape of the cartridge rim.

I had problem with Walmart Federal bulk pack in some of my small .22s (Taurus PT-22, Beretta 21a). Come to think of it, the AA conversion had those issues with it, too. Oddly, none of my larger .22s had that issue. Heavier slide/more robust extractor, perhaps?

I'll snap some pics when I get home. I wish I took a before and after pic... But you'll see what I'm talking about.

Everyone with RGB, give them to me. My Marlin 925 bolt action, cycles them just fine!

Yup, give me your RGBs my AA G17-22 kits loves the heck out of them. Mini Mags works too if you're willing to pay for it.

CCI mini-mags work best for me. I had a lot of issues with the kit at first. It was frustrating me quite a bit- stovepiping like no tomorrow. After a few hundred rounds it smoothed out. AA kit must be kept perfectly clean to operate smoothly. At this point I've shot a few thousand rounds out of mine and the last thousand have been flawless. $7/ hundred might be alot for 22s but in the big picture still some cheap shooting.

The problem lies in their magazines. You need to shave 1/2 a cm or slightly more from the top where the tip of the bullet would otherwise be.

Interesting, I have a kit on the way, and I will probably try this with one of the mags.
