They are located not too far from where I live and tested their pre-production samples at the range where I shoot. When they become available, I plan to get a few and check the fit and function in the AR45. I'll post a report when I can.

Factory built, yes. Kurt at KKF makes an Oly type upper on a custom basis. I am working on my own version that does not use any Oly parts and will be available sometime late next year after all the R&D is complete.

A comparison to a CavArms/Oly system would almost be a necessity. Ya might hafta have a beta-tester, too. (hint, hint, wink, wink)

Keep us informed on your progress.

Ya got a herd of folks behind you on that one.

Anything come out of that conversion that 465 posted yet? That was an awesome conversion for those of us still hoping for a Thompson mag.

i believe the lowers are still available, according to the cncguns.com forum. you may want to visit their forums - www.cncguns.com/forum/index.php to verify.

lots of good info there :)

Going off on a slight tangent: I have a 10mm Oly upper and it works flawlessly. It came with a modified .45acp Uzi mag. As I understand it the well is slightly expanded to accomodate the longer cartridges and of course the feed lips are narrowed.
I have used .41AE modified mags and they also seem to work, problem is with heavier bullets: 155gr and some 165's, but anything heaver has to be seated deep.

If SOMEONE comes up with a magazine setup that works and can be had at a reasionable price, I'll be the first in line.

What I'd really like is an adaptor to use 1911 magazines, then they could be interechanged between the carbine and my Delta Elite.

With the 10mm being kinda "in-between" the 9mm & .45 it's possible to use 9mm mags, provided they've enough length. ie a 1911 uses magazines demensionally the same for 9mm, 38Super, 40S&W, 10mm, .45acp only diffrence are the feed lips.
Being able to use 1911 mags would open a whole new world.

Grease gun magazines are way too thick to insert into a standard AR lower (I tried). Maby a Sten mag with a Hahn block could be used for the 10mm?

they are referring to the lowers that are specifically designed to fit a gg mag - cncguns/tango chaser/khalan lower, bazooka bros lower and i think the cav arms lower w/ a block - these lowers will handle a gg mag in width as they have been widened to accept it

i know this is gonna sound strange or stupid but why not make a mag well insert that uses standard 1911 mags? or is the mag well to deep for that? i havent looked but i know the 10 rd 1911 mags should be long enough to use. any ideas?

thats what i was thinking. i was thinking maybe the mags were to short or 8 rds werent enough for most. but the 8rd mags do work just fine in the camp carbine but then again the gun was designed with that in mind not a gun that was modded to work. i would like to hear if it were possible though with the larger mags. if i had access to the machines needed and the parts i would at least try.

the thing is people like me would be willing to buy a gun that uses mags i already have. being a 1911 owner i have several and that opens up commonality between weapons systems. i would rather spend $15-$30 on mags i can use in more than one weapon, plus i dont care about 30 rds in a mag. i would buy a couple of 10rd mags but i would probably stick with mostly 8rd mags just because. if someone could figure out a mag release do you think it would be worth it?

You may be better off getting a MEC TEC rifle upper for your 1911 frame then.

i had thought about that but have not seen many people who have them and have asked with no replies on here about them before. if i did that i would just buy a cheap 1911 clone and use it as a dedicated lower.
