Ar-45

[newguy]

Anyone have any experience with a .45acp upper? Seems like a good candidate for a winter project

mgi sells mag wells that use grease gun mags. olympic arms has another 45.

45 would be cool, but i would rather do a 9mm or 10mm. 10mm would be sweet i think

I have 2 friends that have Oly 45 uppers. Only bad thing is they have only 18 rnd mags that are very hard to load to 18 ,even with their tool. Mech-Tech has Glk /1911 uppers in 45acp now and XD/XDM in the near future. About $350 and you use your frame/mags. Oly will eat anything. 185 SWCL, etc.

A 10mm would be so awesome. I'd buy build one in a heartbeat.

Yes a 10mm would be epic

I'd really like the .45 version from that company in rushville as I just built a
4.5" 9mm AR and I've really wanted a .45 version. But damn the price is too steep for me right now. Hopefully they will go down and I can get one and put it through its paces like my 9mm with a dedicated cmmg 9mm lower that runs flawless!

I have a complete one built by Ron Williams of RMW Xtreme.
It's a direct gas upper as opposed to blowback.
Model is DI45. Been flawless. He does a dedicated lower with mag.
Very professional work.

Looks awesome!

Shoots way better than she looks.
He builds them as working platforms, very reliable.

Where is he located?

 

[Huntinfool]

And about how much does it run?

I've got one that I picked up in a trade, and it's a lot of fun to shoot. Runs like a sewing machine. I still can't figure out what the hell it would be good for other than fun, but it is that; maybe that's good enough.

Heck yeah! That's all I want one for. Now I need to find one.

That is a sexy rifle! I have to say that although a .45 upper would be nice, and a custom complete unit even better, I have nothing but praise for the Hi-Point 4595 carbine. Yes, it's not the prettiest, but it puts the rounds where you want them. One thing that is a really nice bonus is that the long barrel does make it run a LOT quieter. I have run hundreds and hundreds of rounds through it and have never had a problem, it eats everything that I have fed it. Even the crappiest reloads that you find in a box from your friend's long dead uncle.

+1 If you want a .45 carbine the Hi Point will serve you very well at a fraction of the cost.I'm thinking about getting the mod to make it accept 1911 mags so that I'll have reloads on me for both my carbine and carry gun.

It would be nice to only use standard mags in the 4595, but honestly, the factory mags are 9 rounders and have zero feed issues. I spoke with the ladies running the Hi-Point booth at the NRA conference and they advised me that I should call their support line and request the new charging handle or the "operating handle" and that they would send it free of charge.
Free FTW !!

 

[Ruffnek]

New operating handle?

 

[wlr2]

New operating handle?

Yeah, they said that they have changed the design a bit, the head of the small bolt on the handle no longer protrudes and the shape of the handle itself has changed as well. I do have to say that the charging handle on the left side kinda sucks. My left arm isn't the greatest due to MS.
I looked on their website but they have not updated any photos as yet.

Please PM me when they do.I saw a Brass Stacker chargimg handle on Youtube that was right-handed but it was for the 9mm,might check them out.

Edit:It's only for the 995. :-(
