Source for .45acp complete uppers

ArmedMainer · 04-01-2008, 08:58 AM

Hello, Like to find a source for a complete upper for my AR chambered in .45acp. Anyone here have one and how reliable is it? .223 ammo is so expensive I'd just like a AR chambering in a pistol caliber so I could cut my ammo cost down. Just need something for home defense and plinking. Thanks

Olympic arms makes one. They apparently used to have a lot of QC issues, but have gotten much better since then.

As a side note, check out the CavArms lowers. They make one that has a slightly wider magwell which will allow you to use the "grease gun" mags instead of modified sten mags. This gives you higher capacity and cheaper mags.

Good luck!

I'm kind of leery about Olympic Arms after all the bad things I've heard about them. I'll look into CavArms though. Thanks for the heads up.
