| 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.... |
