[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Who makes the best 9mm LRBHO Glock-style lower?

Posted: 5/8/2017 11:43:40 PM EDT

title says it all.

i'm looking for a Glock-style lower that has LRBHO feature. it will be a suppressed SBR. a couple years ago, i built a Colt style 9mm AR, but pieced it out because i needed money, but i think a Glock-style is what i am looking for now.

or should i be asking about LRBHO feature in the upper instead of the lower? basically, i want a Glock style lower and BHO feature. please help me decide.

I went the Glock Lower with LRBHO route, I was very dissatisfied with my experience, the darnn thing worked when I didn't want it to and didn't work when I wanted it to. Some have had very good luck with theirs, I didn't. Macon Armory is working on a Lower w/ LRBHO that looks promising. Other Vendors are also playing with Lowers trying to get a system that works 100%. I gave up and went to a Colt lower and haven't looked back.

I have a Quarter Circle 10 rifle that has been 100% so far. I am agnostic about LRBHO for my application (USPSA competition), but it came on the gun and has not been a problem.

QC10 are also strong supporters of the shooting sports so they get my vote.

Yes, and they brought the Block pattern lower to market after DDLES had their issues.
I do need to support QC10 and buy a lower, mine is an older DDLES.

thanks for the responses. i appreciate it a lot.

so far i've been looking at New Frontier Armory, QC10 and PSA.

the QC10 looks awesome and so does the NFA. i'm leaning NFA since i did two 80% lowers for my daughters from NFA.

and one other thing... i will most likely be using a LaRue MBT. any issues using that trigger with a QC10 or NFA lower? if so, i might just get an SSA or SSA-E.

Going to install a Larue MBT in my DDLES tomorrow, internal dimensions are identical

I never got my DDLES to work with LRBHO. Otherwise it's a fantastic gun.

I have a PSA that the LRBHO works pretty poorly.

Have a meeting later in the week with the engineer at the company that will be doing the actuator part of the LRHO , it is a wire form.....the other piece is laser cut.....lower must be machined, but so far I have it on two lowers (Both Green Swamp Tactical) ...one SEMI one FA with no malfunctions. Gonna install on an NFA small frame and a QC10 large frame tomorrow.....If I can make the time.....

The issue isn't with the lower......it is the bolt.....I have a prototype running with the Larue MBT and over 1500 rounds has been flawless.....have the same bolt running in a FA QC10 as a control to make sure the bolt mod doesn't cause issues with a standard fire control group. So far we have run hell out of it with no problems. Just need to raise the capital to produce a run of them......

Anyone try a spikes 9mm lower?

Just waiting on a couple essential parts I need to finish my 40s&w upper that'll drop on the my finished qc10 lower. Really looking fwd to seeing how well they like each other.

Ive built a few 80% guns so was planning to go with the New Frontier but they were out of stock and about that time qc10 ran a sale on blem lowers and well Sometimes I'm not a patient man.... ;{)

Yup...and it has been flawless through all 200 rounds I have put it through...

Ok, so I just built it, but so far it has held open for all last rounds. Spikes Glock lower w/ Spikes slick side upper.

Forgot to mention.....was with an ETS mag.

Matrix Arms, 500 rounds so far. Locks back every time with Glock and ETS mags.

i got my blemed lower yesterday. i gave it a full inspection today. it had a super tiny prick, which was a little shiny, and the inside had a machining burr or something. nothing that will affect function or let alone be seen after its built. my toys are for shooting, not safes. i'm building a pistol, i'll file a form 1 later. let the building commence!
