The .45 ACP requires a heavier buffer when used with a carbine spring. The manufacturer recommend using an 11 oz. buffer.

Bear, member, from MD, United States, asked on August 24, 2021

Can a Mil-Spec AR-15 lower receiver be adapted to use this upper?

A
Answered by Andrew, guest, from CA, United States, on September 18, 2021

Stern Defense sells a conversion block to allow glock mags to be inserted into a mil-spec ar-15 lower. I have no experience with it yet but the general online opinion is that they work pretty well. It would likely be better to get a lower that is designed as a 45 acp lower but if thats not an option that conversion kit should work fine.

Will this work with lower C9 new frontier

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Nick B., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 08, 2021

No, this will not be compatible with the C-9 since this is a .45 ACP upper. You would need the New Frontier C-45 lower receiver.
