I need a mag adapter for my .223 lower that will accept uzi/colt smg mags.
what is the best option under $100 or is there one? and, does anyone make an adapter for glock mags? I have not seen any but would rather go this way of course. thanks I will not be buying a dedicated glock mag lower. thanks in advance |

Uzi and Colt mags are not the same. You have to pick one. Glock mags are too wide to fit in a mag well. They have the same outer dimensions and will work in the same magwell adapter. The Uzi mags need a slot cut in the side of them to work with the mag catch/release. No last round bolt hold open with Uzi mags. Hahn Precison is the best option for a magwell adapter. |
At $150, you're almost up to a CMMG 9mm lower that accepts Colt / Metalform style mags. It should also accept Uzi mags once you've modified them by cutting a slot as shown below:
I run a DDLES lower. The quality is great, but there is a 60 or 70 page thread of people saying that it now takes forever to get their order so I can't recommend ordering one. |

For under $100.00 ? Won't find much, Promag has one for about $40.00 but I wouldn't expect much. Better up your budget to about $150.00. My first 9mm AR I used a Promag adaptor It worked great, never had any problems, FYI Promag adaptor advertise Lifetime warranty I upgraded my lower to DDLES I would suggest before spending a lot of money on a adaptor, just get a dedicated lower CMMG makes one and DDLES were avaible at riflegear |

I use unmodified Uzi mags in a mag block made for them.
If I'm not mistaken, Colt mags will not fit in an Uzi block, but Uzi mags will fit in a Colt block. The differences being the mag catch, and the channel for the last round hold-open on the back of the mag. I would suggest spending the money you might spend on a dedicated lower getting a tax stamp for a standard lower, instead. To me, one of the cool things about a 9mm conversion is that I can slap a 5.56 or .22 upper on it. I'll probably never have a dedicated (magazine limited) 9mm lower. |

I am not going to try to preorder from someone that does not honor preorders. I didn't see anything about quality etc |
