Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Matador Arms Mag-X?

The Matador Arms Mag-X is a conversion adapter designed to allow an AR-15 lower receiver to accept Sig P320 magazines. This enables users to build a 9mm Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) using their existing AR-15 platform and P320 magazines.

How do you install the Matador Arms Mag-X?

Installation involves pressing the AR-15's magazine release to relieve tension, inserting the Mag-X into the magazine well, and then releasing the button to lock it in place. An optional screw can be used to further secure the adapter.

What are the benefits of using the Matador Arms Mag-X for a 9mm PCC?

Benefits include the ability to use cheaper 9mm ammunition, leverage familiar AR-15 lower receivers with preferred triggers and furniture, and potentially comply with range restrictions that limit rifle calibers. It also allows Sig P320 owners to utilize their existing magazines.

Are there any special considerations for buffers when using the Mag-X?

Yes, 9mm blowback systems can be sensitive to buffer weight. While a standard AR-15 buffer might work, the video suggests that a heavier or adjustable buffer, like those from Odenworks, may be necessary for optimal cycling, especially with varying ammunition loads.
