Pistol Caliber Carbines have earned a place in your gun safe. Fun, inexpensive and easy to shoot, they even have their own competitions. The Mean Arms EndoMag magazine insert converts your Gen 2 or Gen 3 5.56/.223 PMAG® housing into a 9mm magazine and conversion block mating a standard AR lower to your 9mm upper. This idea is simple, effective and brilliant.
