Beretta 92X and 22 kit slide locking block

[Whirlwind06]

I bought a 22 conversion kit during the Veterans day sale. I'm having a problem getting the locking block to fully engage. From the description of the kit it should fit.

"New and improved 92 .22LR Conversion kit fits on all 92F/96F and newer full size 90 series pistols with slide mounted safeties. 15 round mag."

I'm not going to force it closed and not sure if it's safe to use it as is. Or if it damage the locking block.
e_stern any ideas?

Thanks

Remove the kit and takedown lever, disassemble kit, lube barrel lug and frame lug recess, push barrel on as far as it will go and take a photo.

They are VERY tight on new 92Xs due to much tighter frame tolerances on the new series and may require some extra force to install, but let's see how far it gets on the frame first.

Was it tight getting the barrel on alone?

Also, is that a grease/Froglube?

[Whirlwind06]

A little tight, but not terrible. Grease

And the slide alone?

Can you insert the barrel w/the takedown lever in the frame?

[Whirlwind06]

Yes, will and with the slide assembled a couple taps with rubber mallet will put the take-down lever into the lock position.

I'd say go ahead and assemble, and shoot. Should break in with use.

Okay, thanks for the help!

Mmmm... Giggity... Giggity...

Beretta is making tight tolerance frames...

Hi,
I have the exact the same problem with my 92fs and 22lr conversion kit. Now the lever is stuck half way and it does not move either way. I would like to at least be able to take the slide off and I could not since the lever does not move. Please help.

I'm having the exact same issue with my new .22 conversion kit on my m9a3. OP did it eventually break in?

[Whirlwind06]

It is still a bit tight but not as bad as when I first got it.
It runs fine with either slide.

My conversion slide and LTT frames was tight initially but worked as normal after one range trip, locking lever snaps open/closed as expected. Now if Beretta could just get some threaded barrels back in stock ......
