Not sure how many years back but a fellow designed and built an AR45 blowback upper that had a Magwell on the Upper that used grease gun mags, a finned Thompson ish barrel and and a vertical Thompson foregrip. Anyone remember the name or for that matter, the Youtube demo video.....been looking for days. Kinda like to track one down for my collection.

Nope......that looks like one Bill Putnam built YEARS ago as well....and that is a CNC AR45 lower....I have 7 and looking back...I built a couple like that back in the early ninties
The one I am trying to track down had a magwell on the left side of the UPPER, used grease gun mags, and ejected spent cases out of the magwell of a stock AR lower....

There was a similar one made in Oklahoma some time back IIRC, and an ARFCOMer has one of the earlier ones, an AR-45 pistol w/o a buffer tube.
I sell firearms produced by the finest child labor in the world, be it Filipino, Muslim, Mormon, Arizonan, or Texan.

Started some searching and found the fellow in the Video passed in 2021. Haven't been able to locate the other fellow listed on the Video....Kenny.  

Know the name of the one from OK?....always looking for weird 45 stuff....
