There's not yet anyone making an upper or mag block for it, their idea was to allow the possibility of someone making one. The Olympic style .45 uppers require the magazine to be in the frontmost part of the magwell, but it's possible that someone will make one work.
I'm eager to find out also. |

I tried posting this on the KKF forum, but he nuked it and called it 'advertising'.
Kurt's .45 upper feeds from the middle, colt style, but I think he's going to be building one of his own and doesn't want to get whacked by Cav Arms low price. I didn't really figure that out until after I posted the pics over there... Free market is a beautiful thing, isn't it? Build it and they will come! I say, who doesn't want to feed my .45 bullets from a flattened Uzi mag... |

Somebody is going to build one, and the mag block that is needed too.
This is a good year to buy 9mm stuff. I am going to be patient and see what comes in the .45 stuff around the end of the year. Between this Cav lower and the Beretta Storm, once we put the AWB to bed, there will be a lot of creative new stuff coming out. |

Well, aside from Kurt.... no one. The upper is there, as he has shown pics that use a 9mm block and Uzi 41 mags opened up.

There are at least 4 companies looking at using our lowers to make .45 ACP ARs. Sorry I can't give names
We are sending off samples of just the mag well section to these companies so they can begin work before the lowers are even shipping. Don't worry guys, we and the other manufacturers will be able to outproduce and sell for less than any custom shop. If the AWB dies I am definitely going to make a .45 ACP SBR suppressed CAV-15 for myself. |

I just dont understand why a 45 AR hasnt been produced yet to take greasegun mags. It's a fact that .45 is superior to 9mm, it is a fact 45 UZI mags are 5 times as much as greasegun mags. It is also a fact that I'll buy a 45acp AR that uses greasegun mags even at a higer price than an Oly 45 conversion using Uzi mags. I'm sure I'm not alone here. If you build it we will buy it. Simple economics, if you need cash were willing to give it to you....make the damned thing already!!!

I have perused this site for a few years and finding anyone who'll make a GG mag complient AR is like finding the holy grail. Everyone has asked for it, but no one wants to deliver. I dont know why.
