I have a shorty Bushmaster post-ban AR15 in .223
Who sells a kit so I can use 9mm ammo in it?
What do you think of these kits?

Two basic styles of 9mm conversion - Olympic pattern and Colt pattern.
Olympic Arms uses sten mags - all Colt pattern use Colt mags ($$$$!) or modified Uzi mags.
Colt no longer produces their 9mm conversion for civilian purchase, but there are some still out on the market.
Rock River Arms and ASA produce colt-pattern 9mm conversions. The Rock River is highly regarded. ASA is nice, but they've had bigtime customer service issues. Model 1 sales also produces a 9mm conversion sort of like the colt pattern, but has its own magblock and I'm not sure which magazines it uses.
My personal recommendation is Oly, or RRA if you've got to have the Colt pattern. RRA is a bit cheaper than Oly, but you'll quickly make up the difference buying more expensive mags.

Thanks,
Think I'll check into the Olympic kit.
