TorkMag 20rd Glock Mags and AR Lower Conversion Kits | SHOT 2017

@BattleshipGrey The mag release is why I thought it would never be possible for a glock magblock conversion to be possible.

@thedonn007 They don't show the other side of the receiver in the article. Perhaps you need to replace the AR's mag release as well with a drop-in part or it's a two-part, two-spring system that wraps around the magwell?

@Anonymoose Based on the Colt style mag block for my AR9 upper on an AR-15 lower, I am not sure how there would be enough space for that.

@thedonn007 My guess is that the aluminum block in front of the magazine is also the mag release, somewhat like a heel release, or like a AK or 10/22 release, except in front.
The block does appear to protrude below the magwell a bit.

@Cymond I was wondering about that but it would be nice to here from the person that took the pics since this article defers to the manufacturer, yet the manufacturer hasn't listed anything.

@BattleshipGrey I saw the product at SHOT, the design does not use the mag release to hold the adapter in place. Rather two separate allen type set screws which are accessed one from the top of the lower receiver and the other through the magwell. With this design, unlike others the regular magazine release is utilized for the Glock magazine. To do this a polymer guide is provided for the user to modify his Glock mags by removing a small square portion of the outside polymer which surrounds the stainless steel liner of the magazine. This would be easier to explain if I had pictures.

The idea seemed viable when I examined it. I did ask the young lady at the booth (don't recall her name) if the magazine modification would work with the new ETS Group translucent magazines, but she was unaware of this product.

When this goes into production I'd like to see a full evaluation, if it does work as advertised I'll be buying one.
