My only experience is with a Colt SMG, but it was one of my favorite carbines that I've ever shot. It ran like a top and was pretty accurate. I have been mulling a 6450.
There is a lot of interest right now in the retro forum at Arfcom in 9mm carbines. Nodak spud will be making A1 pattern, 9mm marked lowers soon, and will be offering them along with a true 9mm slickside upper receiver as a package deal - looking like sometime in July/August.
I have everything I need but the lower to build a semi clone of an RO635 - true Colt upper, Colt 2-pc magblocks and extended bolt catch, SS trigger/hammer pins etc. Most people in the know recommend ramping the bolt as unramped bolts put a lot of strss on the trigger/hammer pins, enough to break them.
This will be my first SBR, and I can't wait! I will build it up as a pistol until I get the form one back, but first I need the lower - I have two stripped A2 lowers I could use, but I want it to really look right. Check out the 11 pg thread in the retro forum on Arfcom. The little 9mm carbine may very well become my favorite gun, and should be a perfect HD weapon in my area.
hello guys, i'm new at the site, so i don't know if this question if appropriate for this topic, or if i should open another one.
anyway, has anyone here shot the la france m16k carbine? its basically like a colt, but with 45 acp round instead of 9mm. it even uses thompson stick magazines.
I would start another thread. I have not shot one.
For those whating a .45ACP AR there are a couple of choices in lowers, but limited choices in uppers. Most all the uppers are build from Oly uppers or built on non-Oly upper that have been modified to use the Oly ejector/Bolt system. As to lower the problems is in the fact that the more common .45cal stick mags are too wide for the standard 5.56 mag well. Oly uses a .45 Uzi mag with a welded on mag well filler. This mag setup is very bulky and the mags are expensive. Your other option is the wider .45ACP Grease Gun mags. There are tow options of this a Cav Arms MkII lower or a Bazoka Brothers lower (there has been several others that that threatened to produced a broched lower and have producted limited numbers, but they are not common).
