Building a CMMG Guard 45:  https://thisguysguns.wordpress.com/2018/11/06/building-a-cmmg-guard-45-aka-an-ar-45-that-doesnt-suck/
Use a Glock Magazine lower from Uncle Mikes, CMMG, New Frontier Armory, Angstadt Arms, or other vendors.
"Use an Anderson Manufacturing .458 Socom stripped upper:
   It's a Mil-Spec profile (necessary if you want to use a Magpul BAD lever)
   Inexpensive ($65.95 after shipping)
The reason for the .458 Socom profile is that the ejection port is opened up, so it will allow for better clearance of the stout .45 ACP case."
