TorkMag, known for their innovative magazines and conversion kits, announced a new product today, the Magdapt 1911.
The Magdapt 1911 is the first conversion kit to allow shooters to use 1911 magazines in their AR15, finally bringing John Browning and Eugene Stoner’s greatest designs together. The kits are available in both .45ACP and 10mm, allowing users to choose between STOPPING POWAH and Best MM. Users will have to supply their own magazines, and should expect to see improved performance with higher end offerings.
In addition to the magazine conversion, Torkmag is also packaging a purpose built upper receiver in the Magdapt 1911 kit. Uppers come in both 8″ pistol and 16″ rifle variants. The combination of 1911 feed ramps in the upper receiver with 1911 magazines ensures modern levels of reliability.
Torkmag is offering discounts for those that preorder the Magdapt 1911. Expect products to start shipping by January 2020.
