Picked up a new, old school upper. 9mm DOE Clone. DOE is Department of Energy. They were apparently used by security at Nuclear Power Plants in the 1980's. The full gun was the Colt RO633. The originals have integral carry handle uppers. This one has a flat top upper so that I can add a a red dot optic if I want. I put a detachable carry handle/rear sight on the upper, to give it the "correct look". The originals also used the standard Colt 32 round straight mags. I just stuck a 9mm EndoMag in for the picture. But those mags will be more convenient to use anyway as opposed to dropping in the mag well insert. And overall length does not matter. This is sitting on a RR full auto lower.

Oh that’s sexy.
That looks like a lot of fun. What’s the barrel length? Is that suppressed or a hand guard?

Very Nice!!! A Mk5 has been on my short list for way too long.
I think DOE nuclear couriers used those too. Love me some Colt 9mm. Working on my Colt SMG clone.Picked up a new, old school upper. 9mm DOE Clone. DOE is Department of Energy. They were apparently used by security at Nuclear Power Plants in the 1980's.
Reliable mags, but heavy. I’ll have to try an Endomag someday.The originals also used the standard Colt 32 round straight mags. I just stuck a 9mm EndoMag in for the picture. But those mags will be more convenient to use anyway as opposed to dropping in the mag well insert.

I love holding firecrackers when they go off!

If they are the ones that look like Endo mags, they are made by the same company theoretically (Mean). I bought the CMMG versions for a Banshee build.It is very compact and would be easy to carry and use in a vehicle. Something like 21" OAL with the stock collapsed.
I have not had any problem with the Endomags, but you should also look at the CMMG AR9 conversion mags. From what i understand, they are a better long term design.
Yea having that extra position on the selector switch is a REALLY nice option!

MAX-11/15 had bad feed ramps. Fixed it ala the SOTAR method. It works.
