Which Colt STYLE top load drop in one piece mag block Does not fit Colt mags? But does fit RRA Uzi mags? I have a mag block of this style that came with a slightly used upper and I just found out it won't fit Colt mags because they are too long front to back. My mag block does have the area milled out to fit the rib on the back of the Colt mags. Strange? |
| I read that the top loading one is made exclusively for use with the 25 round modified Uzi mags. I had one and my Colt style mags did not fit. I also had a bottom loader, all of my mags fit with no problems. The top loader wouldn't fall out, the bottom did a few times and had more issues getting it to work right. |

I think the issue is not the type of mags but rather whether the mag block will activate the bolt catch with a Colt mag (and the type of bolt catch used - std ot long 9mm). Original RR blocks were identical to Colt bottom inserted blocks. Now I no longer know as RR sold a differnt block similar to ASA for a while (or still?). Today, I'd say the new Hahn top inserted block seems good as long as the lower is dedicated to 9mm. |

http://www.hahn-precision.com Look at the 9mm Dedicated Adaptor (Mag block) A9CSRD0405 in the Armory Section. No pinning - just drops in (you need to remive the bolt catch to insert it) I'd use it if I didn't already have the bottom inserted type from Colt. I also like the fact it uses a standard bolt catch which is stronger than the extended 9mm type. |

Well I answered my own question. I ordered the wrong damn mag block! Brownells does not sell the "dedicated top loader". This top loader and the bottom loader hold the bolt open, but not the top loader Brownells sells. That top loader from Brownells does not require the removal of the bolt release either. Great! Got the what I don't need AGAIN! I should of just waited until I got home to order after I researched it properly. Oh well. |
All you need for last round bolt hold open with the standard Hahn top load block is the Colt 9mm bolt catch that Brownells also sells for $20.85. part # 160-308-101 |
Brownells does carry the Hahn Dedicated Adapter.......just hasn't reached thier catalog yet....call them for info. The Hahn Precision website has been updated and tries  to describe the different features of each adapter.
