Since I shot TLM's Just Right Carbine in 45 ACP and I have a 45 Octane on the way I have had the itch for a .45 ACP carbine. I stumbled upon Macon Armory on another forum. He is currently a small shop and is specializing in pistol caliber direct impingement uppers.
I put in a special order for an 8" .45 ACP upper threaded 5/8-24 with a HK USC magazine adapter that will allow me to use USC mags in my standard AR15 SBR lower. Rudy is currently using Promag USC mags and says he has put 450 rounds through the two he has and has not had an issue with reliability.
There is about a 30 day lead time on the upper since it is all custom built. Rudy at Macon Armory is very easy to talk to and is very willing to help/explain things. I am excited to get this upper and put it to the test on some hogs at really close range.
When it comes in I will post some pictures of it and maybe a short video of shooting it. Hopefully I will be posting some video/pictures of dead pigs with it too. I'm interested to see what a 230 grain round nose flat point does to a hog at 20-30 yards. I'm guessing it will kill them, but will not knock them down like a rifle by any means.
More to come once I get things in my hands.
Email Rudy at rudyk@maconarmory.com if you are interested. His website is currently under construction.
