MAX-31C Upper Receiver

The MAX-31C upper receiver is specifically designed to allow use of inexpensive, high capacity, 72 round Suomi M31 drum magazines, 50 round coffin magazines or DC-31 30 round stick magazines. This upper will not function with 36 round Suomi stock magazines which are double feed. The longer receiver converts the M-11/9 into a carbine sized submachinegun and provides greater control and handling.

Features include a 15-1/2" long accessory rail on top and hard mount points for additional M1913 rails on right and left side of front handgrip. Bottom rail is integral. Contained within the upper receiver is a heavy weight bolt assembly with a longer length of travel than the stock M-11/9 upper receiver . This reduces the rate of fire (ROF) from 1,100 RPM down to around 662 RPM. Due to the reduced ROF and longer bolt travel, muzzle rise is reduced, the gun feels much smoother in operation and easily stays on target. The MAX-31C attaches to the stock M-11/9 lower receiver without any modification to the lower receiver and uses your existing retaining pin.

The picture above shows a MAX-31C with additional Lage Mfg. accessories that are not included with the MAX-31C upper receiver. Registered lower receiver is not included.
