an upper similar to yoursbut chambered in 9mm on one of these lowers built as a pistol would be the perfect pistol to compliment the mp5 clone. Quote HistoryQuoted:

RDTCU...you laid out a pile with this one and stepped in it. He really got you on that one...although it is not quite 3 ft long. Off this topic, but did you ever get your 45 acp AR running well? Quoted:

Would be easy in blowback with a buffer tube, less easy without the buffer. Factory 9mm is pretty dirty and doesn't run for long in gas guns. The MPX seems to do OK with a piston, so that's a possibility, you just have to get it right up at the chamber. |

Supposedly the lower is done, but due to an issue (mag width was what I heard), they have to make an upper to go with the lower.
This is likely not be until early 2016 
Check their FB / Instagram stuff to read more into the tea leaves. Or just call them. I was hoping for a universal lower myself, one for a pistol build and one for a rifle (16" Barrel). We shall see. This product is rather high on my current "must have" list so I'm as disappointed as any right now. YMMV. |

What is the difference in width between the HK mags and the Colt mags? Cursory Google search says the HK mags are 3/4" wide?

Glock mags are still more plentiful, struggling to see the point of a gun which uses very expensive magazines, and as I can see it, no advantages over Glock.

If you have a RDIAS or a LL and a HK sear then you have two MG's with compatible magazines. 2. MP5 magazines are worlds better than Colt pattern 9mm mags. |

Russ,
Does the MP5/40 magazine work in your lowers? I'm sure the MP5/40 magazine costs a lot more than the 9mm version, but it's the potential that I'm looking at. And to dog pile with everyone else, when will these be available? |

The upper will have to be milled to fit a mp5 mag. Mp5 mags are to wide for a standard upper. Any word on the upper? I'll take both just make the upper side charging for a suppressor.

I can see the point of a Glock mag lower, but don't really see the point to use a more expensive mag system...it would be like building an AR that took Mini 14 magazines.

I was looking at my mp5 mags and there is no way they will fit a normal AR upper without milling the sides so it will sit properly. I don't have a mpx to compare but look and see if the mpx upper is moded for the width , if they are the same width as an mp5.

I have a ton of the Korean mp5 mags they were cheap (15 bucks).They run great in my mp5. They are drying up a little but center fire systems stills has a lot in stock. |

I'm glad its only an MP5 mag lower. If they made one that took Ruger 10-22 extended mags I would have a two stamp, big buck rim fire build that I would need to fund.

Looks cool, but I don't underststand the point of a lower that takes expensive and extreamly hard to find mags. They'll sell about 100 of them then it will be discontinued. I hope to be proven wrong and I wish them the best for their endevor.

They have to design an upper that slightly wider due to the width of a mp5 mag. I don't see the lower/ upper combo coming out until July or August but I could be wrong. It will screw me for SBR'n it before 41p hits if it after July |

Here you go CHEAP KOREAN MP5 MAGAZINES FOR SALE $14.99 These run great in my mp5 clone. I stocked up a while back on them. They are not labeled like the ATI ones but they are the same manufacturer. One thing is the finish is a little rough but nothing a little oil did not cure QC10 say they work fine in their AR mp5 lower. |
