FYI, this lower does not work with colt style mags.
Should work with the Del-ton lower and glock mags though. Shows up at $199.99 in the cart even though it does note the $186 price like it does with the qualified official price, but only at the cart and it doesn't apply the price. Weird.
It does not work with the DELTON 9mm lower. The ejector gets in the way and can not insert/attach the upper.
I modified mine, I ground out the back of the ejector where it was hitting the bolt. It did not take much, and it was in the wide part on the back, so it should not affect the integrity of the ejector. Going to test fire it today.
Hope it goes well. Lower is sitting at my FFL, and I'm in no rush to finish the project. Have too many others going.
It mostly ran flawless. Had one feeding issue with the 21 round magpul mag. But oem g17 and oem 33 rounders worked flawless.
You probably didn't need to grind anything. Just have to heat the ejector and bend it so it rides in the bolt slot. Need to be heated, otherwise it'll just snap.
Glad it's running!
Thanks. I will post here when I finally shoot it.
Trust me, Take your time and do some research. I had trouble finding compatible parts. Because this one is just a range beater, I modified the lower.
I am still researching what to do with the other Delton lower. I want a DOE carbine, but will need a different lower.
I'm done building. Went 8.3 and pieced it together. Did get an FM bolt and need to adjust the ejector so it rides properly and actually ejects. Bought the spikes lrbho upgrade and that works well.
Spent more time fine tuning my AR22 build which is similar. Do these indoor carbine courses, and If much rather blow through 300-400 rounds of 22 than 9. $15-20 is better than $60-80.
Nice. Good luck! Mine is running like a sewing machine. All kinds of HP rounds and it has not malfunctioned yet.
So I tried heating and bending the ejector to work with the FM bolt. Got frustrated not getting rounds to eject and gave up. Ended up picking up the Right To Bear bolt and decided to give it a go. Cycled snap caps just fine. Went on the range today. 150 rounds. No failures. Was like damn. Was sitting on that bolt for two months...
