Very interesting.
It states " Accepts most 9mm uppers, bolt modification may be required. " If most means Oly, forget about it. But if most means Colt or RRA I will have to get one.

VERY interested in this, for when I get out of NY and have easy access to normally priced G18 mags (as opposed to having to get pre-bans, per NY laws).
I've got a 9mm AR now, that runs off Uzi mags, and it's without a doubt my favorite gun to shoot. |

Ill let you guys know this week, we have a sample on the way. If it works the way it should, it will be nice to have a lower that runs on a better designed magazine.

I figured for sure that its designed to run with the Oly system, they assured me that it does run on the Colt system. If it does, it will kick ass. Plus it opens up the door for .357 Sig, and 40 S&W. |

This is what I heard from the guy that I am getting mine from.
Received a phone call from them today, and was told that they work with CMMG uppers as well, but the bolt needs to be cut to handle the Glock mags. (since they angle differently than the UZI mags)
Colt, CMMG, ASA, RRA - Uses Ejector OLY 9mm or 5.7 uppers - NO Ejector Needed in Lower |

However, I can see where two different folks can come up with the same solution/design when engineering this type product. And, you have to admit, people have been clammering for this type of lower for quite a while. Why some one like Justin, or anybody else for that matter, hasn't jumped on this project sooner baffles me. Hell, my 9mm suppressed SBR runs flawlessly, and I am considering this lower. |

My Colt setups with Metalform mags do that already and have for years - Metalform mags, Hahn blocks, and Ranger T factory or home rolled GD's. My curiosity is mainly because I haven't really seen anyone run a Colt setup with the mag forward in the magwell and no feedramp. I'm interested to see if they will feed reliably, if at all (with any ammo) - and just how much machine work will be necessary on the bolt. It seems like a great option for those that want to run Oly style uppers though. |

The Oly lower uses two levers/bars that run down both sides of the magwell. The levers ends of the levers/bars are pinched togehter to release the mag. Yes they do pivot but not by using the mag catch fence like on the AR45.
The mag catch on this 9mm lower is exactly like the AR45 mag catch but the catch itself is extended to reach the front of the magwell as the Glock mag catch slots are on the front of the mags. |

I believe dealer pricing on the factory Glock mags is currently close to, or even right at, $30, so if you can find them for ~$30.00, that's a pretty good buy. For comparison purposes, 32 round Metalform mags are discount priced at $39.02 each directly from Metalform for quantities over 7. |

As for Colt Vs. Oly style I believe I read somewhere that it can take either. Comes with the parts for both and a couple of screws can swap between the 2.
As cool as this is, for the cost and availability of mags I'll stick with the VM Hytech and unmodified uzi mags. |

This lower is supposed to be able to work with RRA/spikes uppers, correct? |

It looks like the bolt would need to be modified for the wider and possibly higher ejector.
The magazine most likely sits higher too since there's no mag block and that might be another needed modification to the bolt. Looking forward to seeing some actual reviews. |

Bag on the Oly all you want, I've had mine for over a year and it works great. As the recommendation of Russell at Cav Arms I added a 9mm buffer. I also added a RRA shell deflector and NM trigger, and YHM FF rail before I ever fired it. I've put about 2000 rounds through it with two failures, both were failure to eject.
As for the LWD lower, I see no provision for bolt hold open like the Oly has. The ejector looks like a better design than what is in the Oly. |

Lower came today, Colt style 9mm bolt required alot of machine work to clear the feed lips of the magazine. Looks like it might clear a 40cal Glock mag though. No bolt hold open, lower had a few things that were not in spec. After a couple hours I was able to have a rifle that worked ok.
