Default Toying again
with the idea of bending perfection. Last year a couple friends and I started in on a deviant AR platform for the 45acp. About the only upper we could score was from Bazooka Brothers. Functional but required some tweaking, the long pole in the tent has been suitable mags. We are currently using a fashioned adapter and an 18 round 1911 mag. We have a line on some 30 rnd grease gun mags but they also require considerable modification and an adapter. It's a real kick in pants to shoot, but at a grand + and still not a real stable operator I'm thinking of giving one these a go and how much I can bend it.

I am still very enamored with the AR platform but this looks interesting.

What do you guys think?

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Not to rain on your parade, but with readily available 458 Socom uppers and the fact that you can still use a standard AR mag, to me this is like trying to fit into a Smart Car.
