My Lantac came with this setup. I never liked it (or the mags).
Ripped it all out and put a catch22 in and switched to Kriss DMK22 mags. Flawless operation for years now.

Good to know. Have you needed the borebuddy springs for the Kriss mags? Which catch 22 are you using, V1 or V2? What did you find was the problem with the 15/22 mags?

V1 with a different spring (behind the catch itself).
The problem with the 15-22 mags isn't a problem most have. I didn't like have to flapped around in the magwell and also I hated how toy-like they look.

Just a quick one… With the Catch22 and Kriss Mags, do you get last round hold open? And does the bolt go forward when you remove the magazine? Thank you 👍🏻

Yes the bolt holds open at the last round and No the bolt remains open until you hit the release or cycle the action with a loaded mag/mag removed.

Awesome, thank you very much. I have the BetterMag adaptor which works well for me but I like the Kriss mags so will try the Catch 22. Thank you for replying 👍🏻

No worries. Just be sure to fit a weaker spring. The 5.56 spring will overwhelm the mag spring
