Colt AR in 9mn, uzu mags?

[lancem]

That's my understanding as well. Who else makes the Olympic pattern?

I think you can modify Sten gun mags. Otherwise in my quick search all I found were Olympic mags no aftermarket.

Another option is to build one using a lower that takes Glock magazines.

Took the 6951 out to the range today. Had 3 of the Colt mags with me. I should have numbered them.

I would get to the bottom of one mag, and the second to the last round would fire, and then do this:



I think it was just isolated to one mag, though.

At 25 yards, I thought this was a pretty good 10 shot group (upper right hand corner of green Avery label):



Let me know if those pics are too big.

Good shooting! On the malfunction my guess would be that if it has a mag adapter in the lower that it needs to be lowered just the smallest amount.

Are these the new painted black mags or the old parked ones? I have a bunch of both along with converted UZI mags. It looks like it may be a spring/follower issue since it only happens on the next to last round. After you clear the jam, will the last round feed, fire and eject?

I don't know because I pull the mag first, then roll the gun over, and pull the bolt back to let go of the stovepiped shell.

I could swear the last round ends up rolling around inside the gun, and eventually falls out the bottom of the mag well.

I will keep an eye out next time.

Check the spring tension on that mag versus the ones that you know work. I would pull that spring out and stretch it a couple of inches and try it again. There also could be a bur inside the mag body or on the follower itself that is not letting the follower move to the top completely.

[Russel Nash]

Thank you sir! Will do!

Nice shooting RN! I tried a 3x9 scope on my 10.5" 9mm the other day, and had fun poping milk jugs at 100 yards. It is a little more challenging than the 5.56, but still relatively easy to get a 9/10 hit ratio. I love the cost of shooting 9MM out of an AR. Cast hollow points makes for a great time at the range.

Thanks...

My uzi mags arrived today from that rtg link posted on the first page.

I will get some endmills tomorrow and some .010" shim stock and do this conversion:

BTW, the C products 32 round stainless steel mags just popped back in stock over at Aim. $10.95, these are what I have been using. http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.as...e+SS+Magazines

Now I am interested in how they turn out RN. Are you simply going this route for cost, challenge, function, or the fact uzi mags are mostly pre ban?

[Russel Nash]

Oh....poop! Did not know those C-product mags fit the Colt pattern.

The mags that came with your rifle could be C Products. Metalform made them for years then Colt switched to C Products and now are using Metalform again from what I have heard.

Yup, same thing. No worries, you know where to get them cheap now. BTW, the c product do have a last round bolt hold open. Like I mentioned earlier I had to open up the mag catch hole slightly for mine because I am using a cheap conversion block. I just put a flat head screwdriver in the hole, and pulled the top lip out slightly.They are pretty beefy mags. Like I could use one for a hammer, or a club kind of beefy. Nice thing is they are stainless steel, and will last just about forever.

I have had no malfunctions, or any problem with the mags, but there is a writeup for those that do have an issue with them. Any of the problems you may run into are easily remedied. https://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.h...&f=15&t=616359

For future reference, any magazine outside of a glock lower used in a 9mm AR will be colt pattern. So take your pick. If it is for a 9mm AR it will work. Even the cheap plastic promag ones which some people really like. Not my thing I like stainless steel for these, but to each their own. There was only a few oddball out there like the Olympic arms, but you most likely won't run across them in a normal search for 9mm AR mags, and when you find them you wont like the price anyway. If you want something cool, and unique there are a few Suomi drums out there with a colt mag welded to them for the tower. I think they are 90 round.

When CO passed the 15rnd mag capacity limit - but gave us several months to stock up before it took effect - I bought up a HUGE bunch of Uzi 25 and a few 32 rnd mags. Back when used surplus uzi mags were $1.99/ea I used to convert them for the Colt pattern AR 9mm.

But then Brownells had a sale on Genuine Metalform mags and I went and bought up gobs more of those (@ $19.99 ea. IIRC)

Even today you can get a 3 pack of 32rnd mags from Brownells for $74.99 - at that price it wasn't worth the effort to convert the Uzi mags.

I'll just save them for when I buy an Uzi SMG. Crazy isn't it, I can still buy the Uzi SMG here in CO, I just can't buy any magazines for it.

Daaannnggg! All sold out of the C-products mags at Aim Surplus.

Daaannnggg! All sold out of the C-products mags at Aim Surplus.

Put your email in to be notified. They sell out pretty fast because of the price.Looks like 4 days this time. I am waiting on the 20's to come in myself. I have enough of the 32 rounders to last me a while. I wish they had some 10 rounders for cheap for when I visit family in California. I keep a lower with a bullet button for my trips to the desert down there and the 9mm AR is the cheapest thing I have to shoot that will cycle semi auto.

I just buy the new AR-15/M16 10rd and 32rd 9mm magazines with steel followers from Brownells for $27.99

I don't like the plastic followers in the C-Products mags

Thanks Timspawn, that is about the best price I have ever seen on 10 rounders. Usually they go for about $25-30 all the way up to $45 per mag. I does not make sense that a smaller capacity magazine would cost more especially since these use less material to make.

Bonz, never had a problem with the plastic follower. To each their own. I do not think over double the price for something because of the follower is worthwhile, but it apparently makes a difference to some. Like Glock vs, 1911, but I love both equally. The follower is dense material, and thick and will probably live as long as the mag body. If you have a dog that chews on your mags, or run your mags in fire I could see the value.
