    Are talking about doing a conversion? If so, its actually really easy to do yourself. I got all my parts from Carolina Shooters Supply. They have pretty good prices and really fast shipping.

    They also have really good step by step vidoes on youtube for doing the conversion yourself. Thats what I used to do mine and it went really smooth.

    Please give a hint of how soon. I dont want to accidently spend my money on something else just before it comes out.

    It was ready and then Richard in his constant quest for perfection took it back to the drawing board to be reworked again......so I am guessing Spring.

    No pics until the final version is decided on, but it is badasssnesss!!!

    NO MODIFICATION REQUIRED TO THE GUN!!!

    I did my conversion myself too, and it worked out just fine. The first thing to do is get an after-market gas plug - mine is a MD Arms plug with five gas settings. For my gun, that was absolutely necessary to get the gun to cycle with the 20-round drum.

    Good luck and enjoy.

    This. Save yourself some cash and do it yourself with a parts kit from CSS.

    I wouldnt advise jumping straight into a new gas puck. I was advised that as well but I found out I didnt even need it once I put a 100 rounds or so through it. But they say each gun is different.

    I think this needs it own thread. I wanna talk about this thing without thread jacking.
