Anyone own one?

Local match here only allows pistol caliber carbines due to one of the ranges they use. I like the idea of the readily available Glock mags, fairly cheap, etc.

Anyone use one personally or seen one in use?

Interested to hear about this....I have been wondering as well.
 
Re: Lone Wolf 9mm AR - The one that takes Glock mags

me too.
same deal with matches near me.
I can use a pistol caliber carbine and run ipsc.
Glock mag use would be EPIC.
someone on the HIDE has to have touched one.

FWIW; Oly has been doing that for some time.

Re: Lone Wolf 9mm AR - The one that takes Glock mags

I have one of each (Olympic K9GL and 1st generation Lone Wolf with an Olympic 9mm upper).

I definitely prefer the Olympic K9GL.

I do recall seeing that Lone Wolf is now offering a 2nd generation Glock lower and it's no-longer listed as compatible with the Olympic 9mm upper. Maybe it's an improvement.

Due to feed, fit, function, accuracy, etc? Can you expand just a little, thanks.
 
Re: Lone Wolf 9mm AR - The one that takes Glock mags

Jason, CMMG builds a dedicated 9mm. lower, accepts Colt 9mm mags, no mag block/adaptor and runs great. Ive built 2 so far in a SBR platform and they're the shit,,,
 
Re: Lone Wolf 9mm AR - The one that takes Glock mags

I have one of their lowers that I use with a RMW Xtreme .40 DI upper. I had to file the magwell a bit to fit full .40 mags, but I love the combination. I have it set up as a pistol and the recoil is unbelievably soft (due to the DI upper).

I'd go DDLES over Lone wolf any day. Lone Wolf has been having or had QC issues for a bit. I'd pass.

I know it's tempting because I was looking at the lone wolf for a while.

One thing with Glock Mag lowers, your bolt carrier will have to be milled a little bit to properly clear the feed lips on the glock mags. The DDLES bolt is already machined that way, albeit on the more pricey side.
