10/22 Tommy Gun Build

[u/Mountain-Badger-4627]

Just finished this Rugar 10/22 Build. Took around 2 months to complete. Cost 380 for the gun, around 100 in filament (First time using a 3D printer BTW). Overall pretty satisfied! Unfortunate that the 10/22 has a legal max capacity of 10 rounds in a mag tho.

You can get a 110 round GSG-16 magazine for it, with a Remington 597 adapter. Shelpen Polymer Works sells a working GSG-16 to Remington 597 adapter (surprisingly reliable, but it is "prototype" grade). I do wish it were made of Aluminum, but it's solid enough.

I have the GSG-16 magazine for my Derya tm22, might aswell get a adapter for the 10/22

The 110 round drum definitely wasn’t reliable in the gsg probably more due to the gun tho lol good to know I’ll will check that out thanks

I’m surprised the adapter even worked - because other third-party drum adapters are entirely defective. I took a chance because Shelpen is a mechanical engineering student, so it seemed like he had the skills to build a working adapter.

I was able to fire off 2 drums with minimal jams.

I haven’t used the adapter much; it’s too much hassle to load the drum 😂

Yeah loading a drum sucks lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't that drum catch a prohibited designation for some reason?
