Converting AR magazine for 9mm rounds

[Letus]

I have successfully converted regular AR magazine to hold 9mm rounds. It has built in ejector, so you can use regular AR15 lower. Initial tests showed loading and ejecting OK, just need to test shooting it. Anyone cares for instructions on how to make it?

You've got a way with making cool things from just things! I commend you for your abilities.

Be a good guy to have around in a post apocalyptic world.

Reminds me of the old saying:

"Use it up, wear it out. Make it do or do without"

Bravo, friend!

Interesting idea.
I'll have to look at that tomorrow
Always thought an AR looked funny with those "skinny" magazines sticking out of it.

Hmmmm.....What about a 9mm drum magazine..
And an SBR...I'm slipping off of the deep end here....

Very cool! I'm a bit confused though. I'm only mechanically familiar with semi-autos pistols that work by the slide being pushed back with ignition of the round, that said, if a round is under charged it wont load the next round. I know that AR style rifles have "gas systems" but I'm not really sure how they world. Can the system be tuned to load, ignite, eject, load a 9mm Luger without changing springs, and other parts. Your telling me that if you can get the magazine to load it properly that it can work with any brass that is the same diameter as a .223? I'd appreciate the explanation very much, I'm here to learn...as you can see in my profile pic, I'm just a 8 year old cowboy.

There are some liberals trying to make us look bad, be careful of what you say, please. I am not offended with negative views, just try to avoid troubles.

The reason I share this info here is trying to contribute to the gun community, especially DIY people. You can share my info on any gun forums but it's nice if you note "Letus shared this information".
I used to design video camera equipment at letus35.com, I hope this will say a little bit of my abilities.
I will give more details when I have time, I have family to take care too,

a 9mm AR doesnt use a gas system to cycle. typically theyre blowback operated
