I don't know why, but I think this picture is awesome. I think its because it looks so clean. I am hoping to make a lower purchase by the end of the week, or sometime next week. by the way, this needs tacked. |

specs please? Id really like to know the barrel over all length and the ff length. |
|

Are these 45 lowers made for 45 acp or modified? If they are made for 45 acp what material is used and who makes them?

The lower in question is made from a 10% lower sold by www.cncguns.com and finished to 100% by the current manufacturer www.thompsonmachine.net/gun.htm. They are designed to use an unmidified WWII M3 grease gun mag. The uppers are Olympic Arms .45 ACP uppers but this set up can also handle .45 Super. There are a few guns out there using this lower and grease gun mags in 10mm as well. I've made custom .45 uppers using Thompson SMG barrels as well with a barrel extension made by Kurt Wala at www.kurtskustomfirearms.citymax.com and RRA 9mm slick side upper receivers. |

my favorite so far. is it a 10" ff with 10.5" barrel? also, what suppressor is on it? ETA: sorry to everyone posting pictures. I know im not posting any, but as soon as I get a return email from justin at CNC then I will have a 10% lower inbound |

9" VIS with 9.5" barrel threaded .578x28. Both have AAC evo's. |

Nice looking gun. It looks like you've got a shortened grease gun mag there. What's the capacity? How much did you cut the spring? |
|
|
Is that a CNCGuns A1 carry handle? Good quality? |

10mm Thompson barrel |
|
|
The non-finned Thompson barrels are better for sue in an AR15. The fins make it harder to machine properly for a AR15 barrel extension.

It's a 15 round. I got the base plate from goober. I don't remember exactly how much I shortened the spring. I started with 7, and cut off however many more I needed until it felt right. It was a trial-and error thing. I cut the follower down a little bit too.
Yes, They are excellent quality. The only issue is the knobs. if you overtighten them they will crack. The machine-work on the handle is just beautiful. |

Postee by GarrettJ:
NO! There are a bunch of threads for 9mm. Why post in the .45 thread? Your post adds nothing to this thread. This thread is for pictures of .45 guns not 9mm. If I sound shitty, it's because your post pisses me off. |

God damn, stop being a little bitch. |

I have been more than happy with it. Doug was very helpful, did a great job and it was reasonably priced. It was the first suppressor I bought and a lot of people discouraged me saying I would not be happy with a 45 suppressor. Too inefficient, loud, etc. I now have suppressors for 22lr, 308, and 223. The SRT 45 is still my favorite. Joe |

is that a thompson mag? did you do the work yourself? |
|
|
yes slightly modified thompson mag.
yes home built. gun runs flawless. |
|
Would you be willing to share how you made your AR45 work with Thompson mags? I can do the machining if you can show me what you did. I have a build that should be done this Friday that I modified a couple of grease gun mags for, but I would rather use Thompson mags if I can. It looks like a slick set-up. |

Yes but keep in mind there is extensive work.
upper machining lower machining bold machining mag machining front and rear block for mag well all considered the gun is well worth the timehttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1568/9305313/17038790/264071905.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1568/9305313/17038790/264071901.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1568/9305313/17038790/263796415.jpghttp://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1568/9305313/17038790/263796399.jpg |

I'm pretty sure I can handle it and would like to give it a try. Can you IM me your e-mail address or post the details here? Your IM is disabled.
|
|
Ditto, I'm looking for more info on your conversion as well. Very nicely done. |

Dirty and evil works for me. Thank you sir! |
|
|
This so rocks, again. If not you, then someone needs to make these. |
|
|
Wolff. What type of heavy buffer are you going with? |
|
|
Okay, I'm try8ing to put a .45acp AR together using a CAVARMS MkII lower. BUT, seeing those AR45's really makes me want to go that route.
My question, where can I get an AR45 stripped lower? Will a standard lpk work in it? I've got several unmodified grease gun mags. |
|
I ordered a heavy buffer from RRA. Will this do the job OK, or would something else be better? It'll be a week or two before I can shoot it. |
