Marvel 22lr 1911 conversion kit

[Tom-ADC]

Anybody have one good,bad so so?

Great kit, very accurate. Early versions don't have the last shot slide open feature. Works with pretty much all ammo you put into it. The Marvel magazines are expensive, but the Kimber 22 magazines fit, work as we'll and are cheaper.
The Kimber conversion kit is cheaper and close to the accuracy. Advantage Arms conversions kits are good to go too. The Target version is very accurate. Sorry got off track...

Thanks I had never heard of them, may have a line on one.

They're phenomenally accurate, as in less than 1inch 10shot groups at 50 yards from a rest. My Unit 1 runs great with Champion 525 bulk pack.

I have one that is very accurate but gave me some trouble. It is a type "3" IIRC, which is "in between" the two version Marvel normally offered.

I had a lot of fail to feed, incomplete cycling issues. I found that it would only run CCI Mini-mags, CCI Blazer, and Remington Golden Bullets. All high velocity rounds.

Then I realized that the springfield loaded target model 1911 I was using it on has a 28 lb main spring-a very stout spring and probably a bit stiff for "weaker" .22 rounds. Just not enough oomph to push the slide all the way back against that monster spring.

Which is why I traded Tom-ADC a brick of my eley sport for a brick of his "oldy" Remington GBs

It runs good on the high vel stuff, and as others have mentioned it is very accurate.

I love my Unit 1. It's phenomenally accurate (look at the test target that came with my conversion. That's a five shot, .392" group at 50 yards!). It came with a GSG magazine from the factory, and I purchased 2 more as spares. No feed issues at all.

I have the unit 2 with the unit 1 barrel & I must say that the rumors of how accurate they are is all true... the thing will out shoot me on my best day.

factory mags are expensive - hell the whole thing is expensive but IMHO it is worth every penny.
as for the mags I have heard that the GSG mags fit & work - basically it is a colt ace magazine design.

Ha I had forgotten about that!! I'm still waiting to hear back from the seller, But I can always use another 22.

From what I have read, it is a very accurate kit.

A friend has one and raves about it. I tried it and was very impressed by it. The only drawback is that it doesn't lock back after firing the last round.
