The grip/magwell is a frame of an aftermarket company that made Glock frames from stainless steel. They have long since gone out of business. It is my understanding that such a conversion was expensive and not exactly easy. Especially when the steel Glock frames were expensive and the market value of the Mac style RRs were half to 1/3 of what they are today.
It would seem to me that someone would make a modular grip/magwell system. The receiver would need to be modified. But once it was modified, wouldn't it be cool to go from a large frame grip to a small frame grip, to a Glock frame grip, to a HK style or AR grip for a Max 31 or Tenko? A slide on grip/magwell modification to the receiver and the grip/magwell could be 3D printed. Just a thought.

ETA My brother was working on getting a Masterpiece Arms aluminum Glock grip/magwell adapted to his M11/NINE. I will have to quiz him of whether he actually got it done.
Before going down this path, I would suggest thinking about how you hold a subgun vs a pistol.
Make a fist, and extend your hand out straight forward and back to your chest a couple of times back and forth. You will notice at full extension the top of your fist is angled at roughly the same rake as a glock grip. You will conversely notice, that as you bring that fist back towards your chest the angle moves to either vertical or negative. At about a foot away from your chest your hand is probably neutral, or vertical, which is why most subgun grips are vertical including all macs.
If you did an M11 and shot it one handed at full extension like one does a pistol, like the one Len Savage did above it's totally awesome. Basically a full auto pistol that is obtainable.
Otherwise, when shooting with a stock it would be an uncomfortable grip angle. This is also the problem with a forward glock magwell, as it rakes back, and with a 33rd mag this angle can get in the way of shooting ergonomics.

Anyone up for the chop?

The description says it is for the aluminum lowers and specifically not for the steel lowers. I bought one for the steel lowers 3 years ago, but I had to call them. It looks like the one pictured, so I’m not sure what the differences are.
I haven’t done anything with it. I think I’d rather have one fabricated from sheet steel and welded on like the stock grip.
