In fact, it's "Mad-Machinist".  He has been paged.

Why 45GAP over ACP? You stocked deep with it? Ammo continuity?

Just curious, as i always considered it a niche round with no real market besides the stubby Glocks.

Would be interesting for sure.

I am having Ron @ RMW XTREME  build me a DI 45 GAP I I plan to run it suppressed and it should be very quite tith heavy bullets
I will be using an NFA, small frame Glock lower. Ron has built several 45 GAP uppers from 5.5" to 16.5". Email him @ [email protected] I don't remember if he has a video of one on his website? RMW XTREME

I have a Oly Glock lower with 9mm & 40S&W uppers, also have a Glock 38, Thought that I would try to have .45gap as my 45cal rifle.I have some 45gap laying around.

Isn't a problem to do....did a colt pattern one for a fellow locally on a QC10 small frame...........
The issue is going to be sourcing Olympic parts......I do have an Olympic 45 bolt that currently doesn't have a home, but will need to make or round up a barrel extension......Ejector is one of the few parts that can be ordered form Olympic.....and I can make the barrel no problem....what length do you have in mind.....

After building a blowback in GAP...........just didn't see the need for a DI......recoil was insignificant with an 8 ounce buffer, unlike the 45ACP.......which is "spirited"
Give me a call at the shop if you'd like too......number is the one on the website......that will be SERIOUSLY updated in the near future.

To each his own, I do not see the need for blowback.... Going DI I will be be using a standard 223 carrier, a standard 223 bolt opened for the .473 45 GAP rim and will use a standard 223 buffer spring. All parts easy to get (for now )
I had a blowback 45 ACP and got rid of it after shooting a DI 45 ACP ( I shot both side by side for a comparison between them and the DI had less recoil. Which I think will be the same for the 45 GAP since it is a higher pressure cartridge then the 45 ACP it should run like a sewing machine .)

.45 GAP is loaded to .45 +P levels. I made one that used Sten mags. It's a way to get a .45 gun using a 9mm lower. More AR type 9mm mag options than .45 mags.
