This carbine I built myself way back in 2006 using a complete factory RRA upper half 16 inch barrel, stripped RRA lower receiver and RRA lower parts kit.

Components list:
Daniel Defense EZ-CAR 7.0 drop-in rails (no longer in production)
Magpul XTM rail panels
Surefire G2 light
Viking Tactics light mount
GG&G SFG-1 short vertical grip
Magpul MBUS rear folding sight
Stag Arms ambi selector
Hahn Precision mag block bottom load
Daniel Defense loop receiver end plate sling mount
RRA 9mm buffer and carbine spring
Bravo Company BCM mil-spec size buffer tube
Colt type 32rd mag

Nice! Are the MR556 sights too low? That's what's stopped me from buying them. I hear that due to the issue with them being designed for the higher height over bore rail of the HK416/MR556, they don't work well for regular ARs.

Here's my "take to work" gun. Its nice to have a suppressed shorty that takes the same mags as the pistol in my pants. The FM BHO is fantastic as well. Fits nicely in a mystery ranch bag and no one has any idea.

Evening everyone! Long time lurker, not many postings under my belt and I've never tried posting a picture.

My first registered SBR is a 9mm AR build. I was very new to gunsmithing(If you want to call it that) and made a lot of mistakes with this one for sure. I even had to send it to Macon Armory to help give my previous blowback barrel a once over. It was a great experience and I had a lot of fun making it. Big thanks to Rudy@Macon for not smacking me on the head and crushing my enthusiasm during its creation, also big thanks to building365atbaf for providing some instructions. Ultimately, I added the CMMG RDB equipment and followed Amphibian's directions for making it even smoother.

Parts:
PSA Colt Lower modified to use modified sterling mags w/LRBHO.
Aero Precision XL Upper
CMMG 5" RDB barrel and bolt
PSA coated and polished trigger

Done'ish.  I will most likely replace the Aero 9mm buffer with something else.  Also need an Arisaka finger stop and light.

Aero EPC Upper / Lower
Taccom 5.25" Barrel
Aero R-One 7" hand guard
Taccom bolt
Magpul grip / pistol brace
Kaw Valley Mach 3 linear comp

My poor man's MP5SD (radial delayed blowback AR9) is pretty much done aside from maybe adding some HK style sights later on down the road. I was having ejection issues with my modified EPC9 upper so I switched to an M4E1 upper and enlarged the ejection port. I've got an extractor upgrade kit coming and I have extra ejector springs if the factory ejector spring is bad.

Almost got this new build done, just need to install the handguard mounting screws and I will add an ambi bolt catch later on.

Barrel: Faxon 9mm 10.5 inch taper lightweight nitride finish
Flash suppressor: Faxon Muzzlok 9mm/ 350 Legend
Handguard: Centurion Arms CMR 9.5 inch M-LOK
Covers: Magpul M-LOK gray
BUIS: Daniel Defense fixed
Charging handle: Radian Raptor-LT
Upper receiver: Colt CR6951 (with cage code marking)
Bolt assy: Angstadt - nitride finish (works with Glock and Colt mags)
Stripped pistol lower receiver: New Frontier Armory G-9 gen 2 lightweight
LPK: Geissele
Trigger group: ALG Defense mil-spec
Selector: Geissele ambi - short right lever
Grip: Magpul MOE
Receiver extension (buffer tube): Primary Weapons Systems enhanced lightweight with ratchet lock castle nut
Arm brace: SB Tactical SBA3

Later I'm going to add a 2 point sling, mini light and micro type red dot.
This was my longest build project, it took me a year and two months.

Same AR 9mm pistol that I posted above on 6/ 3/ 2022, I installed my last part which is the PDQ ambi-bolt release made by Guntology, also installed my handguard.

It's now complete and ready for testing at the shooting range.

I changed my grip to a B5 Systems more upright grip angle.

It's a clobbering of a bunch of different parts.

Cmmg barrel, CMT handguard, aero upper, Quarter circle 10 lower, deadfoor arms stock, griffin armament Optimus suppressor.

Colt upper&lower, magpul stock and grip, spinta bolt, Macon armory buffer, Remington/HK handguard and falcon arms barrel. Shoots smooth.
Wish I would have got a short version of the handguard when they were being closed out.

I think I'm done for now.

Colt SBR Lower w/ Geissele SSA-E
Wilson Combat 458 Socom clearanced port door upper
PRI Gas Buster
CMMG Radial Delayed 5" barrel and BCG
KAC URX4 10.75"
ILWT 3 lug
Rugged Obsidan 45 in long config on 3 lug
DI Optical RV2 red dot

The RDB setup suppresses subsonics incredibly well. It is honestly comparable to my 8" MP5 setup when shot back to back suppressed.

Here's my entry. Colt 635 clone. Built using a 635 parts kit I scored a while back.



-Colt 635 parts kit that came with everything except the center section of the lower receiver. Even had a buffer spacer still in the tube.
-Knights Armament stripped SR-15 lower that I drilled and pinned the original one piece mag well adaptor in to.
-Schmid fire control group. Full hammer is identical to original auto hammer geometry.
-SBA3 brace
-DS Arms 6 hole carbine handguards so I didn't drill holes in the original Colt handguards for the light rail.
-GG&G handguard flashlight mount.
-Surefire 6P with flip down red filter.
-Came with 1 Colt 32 rd mag but later found 8 more Colt 32 rounders with metal followers at the local gun and pawn.

Hardest part was pinning the used mag well adaptor. Measured its height the original front 1/3 of the 635 receiver and then clamped it at same height in the Knights lower. Also measured where the original holes were and drilled new holes in a slightly different spot in a drill press. Made sure the new holes went thru solid and fresh spots on the mag well.

First time to the range ran through 300 rounds of 115g and 124g fmj 9mm without a single issue. Didn't have to tweak the ejector position as it was perfect from the get go. After several range visits it's become my designated HD AR. I absolutely love this little 9!

16” Fm9, PSA multi cal lower, stern adapter. Various Glock mags. Bushnell TRs25 for now. Carbine spring and I think I settled on the Kak 8.4 ounce sliding weight buffer. I tried a few and it’s been a good while since I stopped swapping them out.

In 5.56 I’ve been very happy with all of my Rise triggers.  I’ve never tried them in 9mm.  Let us know how it goes.
