All I can say is that I have had one of their uppers in 45acp for a long time. It has been extremely reliable over the years. I had the barrel shortened to 10”, ported and it has an integral suppressor.
The mags are Uzi mags with a block welded on to fit standard mag wells. I’m now using a dedicated lower that takes grease gun mags. Those Uzi mags are hard to load I sometimes had problems with rounds wedging in them if they managed to get at an angle. I didn’t know that they made pistol versions, sort of interesting to see one. |

they also made their own 45 acp mags for their uppers. they made rifle and pistol versions of the uppers in 45acp. they are a lot of fun to shoot and i havent had any problems with them. i havent tried the magazine conversion versions like the one you showed though.
eta here is the mag im thinking of https://www.midwayusa.com/product/100633841 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By backbencher: There's a valuable magazine. No kidding. They were around $100 twenty years ago. Before I got my dedicated lower I scrounged around and found some Uzi mags and sent them to Olympic to have them converted. I probably had more money in mags than the upper. |

I removed the blocks from a bunch of those converted 45 Uzi mags.....re-parked 'em and sold them at Knob Creek for $125 each

I had an upper that I used with a registered Colt lower. Worked fine, but the mags were hard to load and kind of Rube Goldberg.
Finally sold it when I picked up a Power Springs MAC. |

Olympic had good stuff and was innovative, like with that .45, or an AR in .30 Carbine! I'd love to have that now. The .30 Carbine with hollow points is a great round for defensive use. I was just getting into guns in those days (early '90's) and they stopped making them before I realized what we just lost.

As I said in the .45 carbine thread, I've got one of their rifle uppers.
And modified a GG mag to work with it. |

If you used the polymer lower from Cavalry Arms, it would take grease gun mags... Think I sold the upper once I got a MAC10. Then the lower with something else years later.
They ran well and were lots of fun. Man been so long. Think I have a spare extractor/ejector somewhere in the parts bin. |
