So whats the consensus on the forum here concerning the Olympic arms 9mm upper? These seem to be plug-n-play. They will run off of a standard AR lower. My main concern is reliability.

Love mine. It has been 100% reliable over the past year.

My Olympic is 100% reliable with anything I feed it, JHP, FMJ or cast reload. It's much better than the Colt I used to own that would not feed anything at all. A full mag without a malfunction was surprising.

At the MG shoot this weekend, one of the guys from our club brought his Olympic 9mm and .45acp uppers for his M16. Just like my 9mm and .45acp uppers on my semi's, they worked perfectly.

$8 STEN mags? I ordered 30 of them from Ohio Ordinance which were advertised as "Used" British WWII mags. If they were ever even inserted into a weapon, you could never tell. They still advertise them 10/$30. I highly recommend buying from them. They also advertise "New" British WWII mags 10/$70. Since the "used" mags I got looked new, I wouldn't bother paying any extra for their "new" mags.

When I get the video edited and hosted, I'll post a link here.
