Questions & Answers
My lower uses p320 mags will this work Manufacturer Answer

Unfortunately, we have not tested with P320 magazine lowers specifically. They have been tested with other pistol magazine lowers such as Glock and M&P pattern magazines without issue so it will likely function fine.

Will this upper safely shoot +P and NATO ammunition? Manufacturer Answer

The barrel is rated for +P or NATO spec ammunition, however, it will need to be paired with a lower that has an appropriate buffer and spring. We would recommend no less than 6.5oz for buffer weight when using the higher pressure ammunition. We do not recommend or warranty the use of +P+ or "Major" loaded ammunition in our barrels.
