I bought a Lone wolf BCG. It was a good buy at the time at $129. They use them in their own 9mm carbines and have good quality Glock parts so figured I would give them a try.
I bough the slick side stripped upper from Rainier Arms all with a 5.5" Ballistic Advantage barrel. Also can highly recommend the Runner Runner Guns Spartan lower and a gas deflector kit from JSE Surplus. |

Did not know about the Runner Runner lowers. They look to be made by NFA too? I can't find the Spartan version but they do have the Thor lower. I will either buy from them or the Spartan from Joe Bobs, depending on which comes in stock first.

I believe it is the best fit and finish of any lower I have ever handled. |

do you want a last round bolt hold open?... if not you might check out MAS Defense for an Aero Precision upper .... they have a selection of non rail hand guards that are reasonable IMHO

Matrix makes good cheap keymod handguards! I just installed a guntec (which sells mlok) on mine to go with the shorter barrel but wish I had stayed with the matrix.

I don't have a 9mm AR yet, but I did use a guntec rail on my 300blk pistol. It was stupid easy to install and it feels good in hand, if not a bit on the heavy side. Very solid.

and a gas deflector kit from JSE Surplus. So is a gas deflector kit necessary? I plan on running a slickside upper on my build? Are you referring to the vent thing that some folks install instead of a FA? |

Take note that an 8" ballistic barrel (which I have as well) is only about 7" because their measurement includes the extension. I have the Odin works 5.5" keymod rail...
Considered the 6.7" slr rail, but couldn't justify the extra $100 for 1.2" of rail. |

Are you referring to the vent thing that some folks install instead of a FA? No it goes in front of the Brass Deflector. The 9mm is blowback so gas coming back out the ejection port is much more than a regular DI system. I also shoot left handed and will eventually suppress the gun so all the gas I could block from coming back to my face I wanted to try to block.

I am running a KAK slim flash can and a 7.5" rail and the flash can will only peek out less than an inch and it is over 3" long. |

Do the KAK flash cans make the gun louder?

No just pushes the concussion and blast forward of the shooter.

I just installed a Matrix handguard I got from Chandler Hardwoods and I really like it.

Those Matrix Handguards seem to be a heck of a deal. Only concern is that there is no anti-rotation feature on them
