AR carbine in .45?

[pheenix42]

Just curious...I've seen ARs built with everything from 5.56 to .50 Beowulf to 7.62x39!

So, did anyone ever produce an AR carbine in .45?

I think Olympic Arms made one, I'm not too sure what magazines it would use though or if you can find an upper to swap.

wow - that'd be a fun gun, and I found it on the Olympic arms site:
Olympic Arms, Inc. - 16" 45 ACP Upper Conversion Unit

of course - the mechtech unit is more in my budget

The La France conversion was available for a long time - haven't heard anything about it for quite awhile now.

The Olympic works well, especially when combined with the Cavalry lower and Hahn Grease Gun mag block.

Ron Williams is selling a gas operated 45 ACP upper that works well, and is much cleaner than the blowback Olympic.

I have a oly arms .45 upper with a cav arms lower and the hahn block. It uses grease gun mags and it is a boat load of fun to shoot. Its a shame that it costs so much for .45acp nowadays. Also grease gun mags are like $25 a pop now. The reason why you need the cav arms lower is because the grease gun mag is too wide for a standard one...just in case you were wondering.

There is a member here who, if I remember correctly, has a lefty AR in .45.

I think it was in the Show n Tell thread.
