Great shooter. Swap ammo with my 1911's and Sig's.

Answers: The mag. works great, it locks the bolt open after last round and no adapters needed.
                The darn thing has jammed up about 6 times so far through 200 rounds. I just bought another 250 rounds to put down the pipe to loosen it up a little. If that dosen't work, I'll be calling Olympic.

I would imagine that recoil would be very light?  Am I correct?  Good looking rifle.  I love the inter-changability of AR's

I have been thinking about a 45acp upper.  Can you take a picture of the BCG?  Is olympic the only source for them?

Sure. I'll snap a pic. probably tomorrow. I gotta clean this thing sometime. The recoil is somewhat light. It's a blowback system. I added the JP before I ever shot it the first time. I have seen a full auto M-16 one handed with the JP. The Olympic Arms is the only .45ACP I've seem. They also make a 10mm if you want. I like to share ammo with my pistols. All I need now is a .380 upper.

ronaldmwilliams makes a gas operated 45acp upper.  He's a member on the site; here's the one he built for me:
