The Water's Fine
I'll be keeping an eye on this. I've been looking for an excuse to get into 9mm PCC.
I think it's a more complex situation than that (like, if you lowered the mag release and dumped the ejector, it might work), but you are not wrong in practice... I suspect the parent magazine feed lips might get in the way even if you lowered the magazine insert a touch.I'm going to bet it won't. The Guard won't work with a Colt pattern lower.

This is a great point. I was thinking the same. Dont try to shoot a 9mm with a 223 barrel. Thanks for pointing this out.We have newbies here so we should be more specific because someone could get crossed up:
No, you cannot shoot 9mm out of a standard AR just by obtaining this 9mm mag insert and a 9mm Bolt Carrier Group.
You must have purchased or built an AR upper with a 9mm barrel to go along with the 9mm mag insert showcased in this thread.
Carry on.
