He did not know this was even an option and now he wants a .45acp pistol AR. I have read a lot of your posts about the products you sell so I mentioned your set up. I explained that your set will require no "tuning" to get it to run reliably. He liked it and asked me to get the info I can get before he orders it.
I Emailed him the link to your conversion kit that utilizes a standard AR15 lower. I thought he had a SBR lower, but he does not and he wants a dedicated lower for this build.
I want to be able to give him options on what he can get.
What lowers will work with your BB and/or DI uppers?
What options will he have for magazines with lower options?
Do you all offer a ARFcom discount?
Do you all offer a vet discount (ret Navy)?
So far I have done some research and found that Oly made a .45acp and they used some funky looking mags. I doubt he will want to go that route.
He won't want to mess with the bazooka bros set up either.
Not sure if he would want to have to mod uzi mags.
I have seen Quarter Circle 10 large frame for glock mags. Will this work with your upper BB or DI?
Thanks in advance for answering my newb questions.

Gonna be a while before I can afford to build a dedicated lower for the new magazines....it is on the to do list but will require significant capital I just haven been able to store up yet
I offer discount to all Military active and former, law enforcement , and first responders....contact me by email for verification and I'll get a discount code right out to you.
The blowback and DI run equally well with the new magazine and mag adaptor combo that comes in the kit.
Both also will run on the new Green Swamp Tactical large frame glock mag lower that I had a significant amount of input into the design
all that is required is a simple mag catch change and removal of the ejector for the DI
I do not recommend the QC10 for DI.....it requires modification to the mag follower to prevent if from damaging the mag bodies in the long term.....and can have feed issues, but the blowback does run well with it.
The CNC Guns AR 45 is compatible exclusively with the DI45. It may require tuning the feed lips of the mags, but the adjustments are simple and can be accomplished with little effort at all, or if you prefer...I'll adjust your mags ...just cover the additional shipping.
Thanks for considering Macon Armory!!!!!
Here is the new Glock lower by GST with the 8.5 blowback upper
Blowback 45 SMG, Macon Armory upper, Green Swamp Tactical lower
