Short of going with a dedicated 45 lower (ultimately the best option, but for me is a last resort, and due to my short attention span, I would probably give up on it rather than wait 6+ months for another SBR stamp), what is the best, most reliable mag/block combo?
I have RMW modified GG mags with attached blocks on the rear of the mags. Empty, they fit in the lower just fine. Once I get more than about 10 rounds in, the things bulge and don't even fit in the magwell. And I don't mean they're snug. You'd literally have to pound them in. I've been plagued with feeding issues too. I've modified the lips to give the rounds a slightly more nose-up position and an earlier release, which has helped greatly, but don't want to waste any more time on them since they won't work properly anyway. I haven't seen any other similar experiences, so I'm not sure what the deal is, but does someone make a sturdier GG mag that won't bulge once the "foreskin" (as I recall someone calling it) is removed? Or is there a better mag/block option for a standard ar-15 lower? |

Thanks. I don't expect you to fix or replace them after I've monkeyed with them, and the intent of the post wasn't to pressure you into doing so. (PM sent to keep the thread from going too far off track) So who makes the best/sturdiest GG mags? Are the NOS GI mags better than anyone's current production? |

Does anyone make a magblock conversion for a standard AR lower (non-Cavarms) which allows you to use unmodded uzi or GG mags with a stock Oly .45 upper? I've seen the magblock conversions earlier in this thread, but assuming that they only work for the DI uppers...

ProMag is now making .45 ACP Uzi mags. From what I've read, the 10 round mags are generally okay but the 20 round mags are still in "Beta" phase.
I have no affiliation with ProMag. Not legal advice, MHO, YMMV, etc. |

If I am correct in thinking the upper you intend to use is a piston........go ahead and forget that idea......45ACP uppers do have an opened ejection port.....and a VERY short gas system that isn't compatable with with a piston system. Pretty much have to forget any preconcieved ideas you have about AR's when you go to DI pistol caliber. If you want an effective system....you'll need an uper purpose built as a pistol caliber DI upper.....and has them in stock ready to ship. If you are looking for a dedicated lower for M3 mags.......then email Justin at CNC guns......makes a phenominal lower that uses unmodified magazines. |

I may go dedicated as I'm not sure I want to open the ejection port on my upper. Otherwise however, the LMT MRP upper will run both piston and DI barrels... I have 1 piston, 1 DI switchblock, and 6 other plain DI barrels (in various calibers) at the moment. Still curious if it would be possible to get a barrel and convert it if I were willing to open the ejection port. Notice the DI 10.5" Noveske 300FB pistol gas through mid gas DI and piston below. Still need to know how to get a hold of Bazooka Bros if I decide to place an order.

Ron,
If you chamber one of your DI uppers for 460 Rowland can you still shoot 45acp accurately? Can you manage the pressure difference with a carbine buffer for 45acp up to a 9mm buffer for 460? Thanks |

Was reading about .460 pistol conversions and its the same OAL with a bit longer case so a 45acp pistol cant chamber a .460 Rowland. But, what I was reading said you can fire 45acp out of the .460 chamber but that will loose accuracy and likely wont cycle given stronger springs. I imagined the same would be true in this case with issue being gas / pressure management but perhaps same accuracy loss. Off to the range... |

not something you should do.....the firing pin could push it deeper in the chamber not discharging the round or causing a hangfire......bottom line you should never shoot something in a weapon that it is not chambered for ........except in the instance of something like a .38/.357.......it headspaces on the case rim.......not a good idea with an auto loading round that headspaces on the shoulder.

Ron or Mad Machinist have either of you any experience making a .45 DI upper with an adjustible gas block for the purpose of a .45 SUPER that would also cycle with std acp? Is there a need for the adj block? I'm just tjinking of the SUPER for hunting and varmint use and the acp for practice/plinking with complete reliability.
Any thoughts either of you have would be apreciated! |

Ron or Mad Machinist have either of you any experience making a .45 DI upper with an adjustible gas block for the purpose of a .45 SUPER that would also cycle with std acp? Is there a need for the adj block? I'm just tjinking of the SUPER for hunting and varmint use and the acp for practice/plinking with complete reliability. Any thoughts either of you have would be apreciated! I would have to turn my gas block into an adj but it could be done. Only issue I have is time. Cant take on any protyping work with my schedule right now. Ron, Could you run .45 Super in a DI .45 upper with a heavy spring and buffer to compensate for being overgassed? Its posible but I think it would still be opening much too early. If I remember corectly someone told me they tried it & the case were still traveling over 15feet upon ejection. Also would cause some serious recoil with all that mass. |

I sent my Oly .45 A-2 upper to SSK Industries to have the carry handle cut and a rail put on the upper receiver so I can mount an Eotech.
I had some time today to take it out and sight in the Eotech- I forgot how much fun that gun is to shoot! I only had time to sight it in but it ran great with a WW-II greasegun mag and a mixture of ammo. It has a CNC lower with an ACE fixed stock. I have a Slash buffer ordered that I hope to try out when I get back next week. Everyone ought to have one! |

I had the older A1 upper in 45 ACP . I purchased another upper receiver from OLY in flat top configuration. It already had the ejector pin/spring installed.

What options exist as far as shooting 45acp through a stock unmodified lower (I have an M16A2 lower) i.e. magazines / magwell blocks ect, and also top ends, ie Ron's DI, Olympic Arms pattern, Colt pattern or?
also are the DI uppers more suitable for suppression, compared to blowback, as my 9mm colt system as considerable ejection port noise, no matter how heavy a buffer I use. |

I have mag blocks that use converted GG mags for std lowers. In full auto the DI45 is alot smoother than the BB version. In 45acp I did not see a big diference in supressing DI over BB.
