Thread: Help - Ciener 22 Glock conversion - Mag Spring

After some help please. While cleaning I've somehow lost the magazine spring for the one and only mag that comes with this 22 conversion kit. I've searched online and it seems besides people generally dissing on Ciener there are no parts available.
Anyone have one of these kits and can measure the diameter and length of the spring so I can start looking for a replacement?

I got a couple ill dismantle and check sizes might be able to mod from other type.

Much appreciated

from a used spring of the 10 round, 15 round appears to be the same?

length 152mm x 9.3mm uncompressed state
Mag hole diameter coming in at roughly 9.8mm
so 10mm might be too tight.
Compressed inside mag "roughly" 150mm down to 57-59mm compressed state

got a compression calc some where.

Got pics if needed

I have a load of spring offcuts from when I did the 22 tube mag conversions (I was one of the approved smiths), now they are about 7mm diameter. If you think they might work flick me a PM with your address and I can send you some (free)

Thank you for the offer. I've pmd you

Any problems with the conversion kit,

the one I had would give misfires all the time with the firing pin spring being stronger than the recoil Spring being able to keep the slide closed when the trigger was pulled

I think the recoil Spring was to soft and was collapsing

Initially, I had a few issues with it, but it seemed to come right after a while. It's not great all in all, but it does the job.
I would prefer a dedicated 22 pistol like an older CZ but haven't seen one in a while.

Can you measure the recoil Spring length, I still have my one written down, would be interested to know if my one was collapsing

I put a spacer on the recoil rod to give the Spring a bit tension to keep the slide closed but the problem always came back

There is a CZ kadet for sale on NZPA website

Yeah same issue with mis feed mis fire all the works then polished extractor and looked at springs and far too much then simply went to dedicated semi auto .22 ammo and whoola resolved.
Annoying when it was the easiest thing to try DOH
