Im guessing the answer is yes since you said "they were wrong".
Eta: I have no use for one. I have a dedicated SBR lower I use modified Uzi mags in and I also have a VM Hytec. |

Unless you just already have a bunch of 33-round Glock mags, go Colt pattern. Cheaper, easier to load.

I have an issue with using the plastic body for the mag catch. It won't take long to roll the edges smooth and start dropping mags during firing.

I am subscribed, I don't like loading Glock mags as much as my Colt or modified UZI mags but I have always wanted a SBR AR that could share mags with the Glock 17 in a SHTF situation.
 TorkMag Magdapt 17 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/01/25/torkmag-20rd-glock-mags-ar-lower-conversion-kits-shot-2017/ The challenge is even with the block you need a Glock comparable upper and bolt so not like a standard 9mm upper will work. I don't know if I would buy but always good to have options and my 9mm Colt uses a drop in block that is removable (Colt Style). If it is this TorkMag conversion the adapter is supposed to be polymer but have to see it run to decide how I feel about that. Nom-auto I bet it will be fine but time will tell! |

Quite a few dedicated Glock lowers on the market. I'm assuming the end goal here is to be able to pop it in and convert to 9mm and go back to standard magwell easily?

I have an SBR lower and don't want to SBR my Glock mag lower. I'd be interested if for no other reason than to save another $200 on the stamp.

The problem I've seen with most adapters is they can still be finicky and have to be adjusted just right to work properly. So it becomes more of a pain in the ass to try and remove/replace each time and it becomes a dedicated lower with a mag block. At that point you might as well just buy one of the half dozen or more dedicated, proven glock lowers already on the market. Plus the dedicated ones with smaller magwells just look better, IMO.

I'd rather get a PSA glock lower for $99 shipped. Seems short sighted to want a mag block these days with dedicated lowers being so cheap.
You've got to remove the mag block and switch buffers everytime you want to switch calibers. Might as well just stamp another lower and not screw with switching back and forth. |

Don't judge this until you see ours , ease of install or uninstall and perfect feeding and extracting I'll admit I'm not the target market. When you've already got a complete upper plus spending however much for a magwell adapter I don't see the point in not just finishing out another gun. Even if it means another tax stamp for yet another dedicated caliber SBR. I understand I'm probably in the minority though. |

Makes sense for those who need/want that for a single lower. Is it the market large enough to be worthwhile? Genuine curiosity by the way, not being a GD contrarian or shitting on your idea/work. Seems most people just build lowers nowadays since they're so plentiful and cheap. That potential customer list is over 4 K now |

Ours slides in from the bottom, the org mag release on the lower holds the adapter in place, a separate release on the bottom of the adapter releases the 9mm Mag.

Unless the shooter registered it as a fucking bullet button assault weapon. I couldn't make this shit up. |

Just the fact you have to use a sleeve and cut all your Glock mags makes theirs inferior to ours , other reasons too, but you'll see it soon enough. Ours is milled from metal too, I can have a mold build and make them out of plastic for a lot less but after my experiences with pro mag mag blocks , no thank you. |

Well good deal. Wish you all the luck in your endeavor. I don't know how many of that 4k will buy but it still seemed doable.

You don't always have to be the smartest guy in the room, just know when to hire the smartest guy in the room LOL |
