AR-15/M16 9MM DROP-IN CONVERSION BLOCKS

AR-15/M16 9MM DROP-IN CONVERSION BLOCKS Reviews & Ratings

One-piece, machined aluminum block converts AR-15 lower receiver to 9mm. Compatible with all, Colt-type, 9mm upper receivers, the feed ramp is cut for reliable feeding with all types of ammo, including hollow point and frangible ball. Roller retention device holds block securely in receiver, prevents accidental release. Hardened steel ejector, feed ramp and bolt hold open give long service life; last-round-hold-open feature on bottom-loading model works when used with Colt magazines. Also works with modified UZI magazines but last-round-hold-open will not function. No receiver modification required. Top-Loading Block installs from the top of the lower receiver and Bottom-Loading Block installs from the bottom of the lower receiver. SPECS: Aluminum, black, matte finish.

Works Great, BUT Slightly Oversized :-(
PLEASE READ - this works great, BUT......I religiously use Anderson lowers in my AR builds as I've found them SPOT ON as far dimensions go. The Hahn adapter was very tight and would not go all the way up in the Anderson rcvr..... SO...TIME FOR SOME FITTING. I took the hard coat off the back and front of the adapter since it was quite rough due to the hard coat application process and I could SEE drag marks. I used a Dremel with a fine sanding drum and ended up taking some aluminum off also. There were still a few slight drag marks on the side also which could indicate the Anderson broach may have been getting so very slightly out of spec, so a little more sanding on the sides and it finally went in though still very snug, but for the use it will get with cheap 9mm ammo, I'm happy it was snug and when the set screw was tightened up, it didn't move what-so-ever!! And like I say, it worked perfectly..... ADDENDUM - The adapter will bottom out against the LOWER inside of the AR magazine well and once bottomed out, or maybe I should say Bottomed "up" {LOL!! - since it goes in via the bottom of the mag well}, tighten up the hidden set screw and you're all set - PLUS, the adapter has a really nice and smooth (rounded) magazine centering ramps already built in which is not shown the photos..... The 32rnd Blackened Stainless Steel mags I used (C-Products) worked perfectly. .... THEN, just pop on the upper and HAVE FUN!! Thank You Hahn :-) .....The completed pistol (which will be SBR'd asap) also contains these other great Brownells parts that work together quite well..... ##-BARREL = FAXON 10.5" 9MM..... ##-Mags = 32rnd C-products Colt Style..... ##-BCG = Stern Defense (100-032-658WB-9mm Complete Bolt Mag-Phosphate_Mfr Part: 004SDBU9D1M)..... ##-100024853_.458 SOCOM STRIPPED UPPER RECEIVER BLK
