What you list is pretty much it.
I built my upper as I couldn't find "the" one I wanted. I don't know if many people thread their barrels; most I know use a muzzle device or an HK-style Tri-lug (which is my choice for simplicity). I went with a 5" barrel so a) OAL would be fairly short (remember you're adding 7 or 8" of can to it) and b) most ammo would be subsonic. My mag block uses Colt/style mags and converted Uzi mags; you can get a mag block to run "normal" (unconverted Uzi mags). |

get a 4 or 5 inch barrel so when you put the can on it won't be to long and heavy.

Quoted:
I have a registered SBR receiver that I would like to make into a short, 9mm carbine, maybe 10 inches. It has to operate on something common like UZI mags or similar, and I want to thread the barrel for a suppressor. So what I need is a complete 9mm upper, bolt, buffer, magazine block and magazines, right? Rather than reinventing the wheel, maybe members here can direct me to the best, most simple path to get where I want to go. The Uzi mags I have suck. They are precisely modified, yet are jam-o-matics. Use Metalform. I used a RRA SBR upper from Adco, with a ramped bolt. |

So I get the impression that nobody supplies everything I need in one package and that everything has to be assembled from various sources - is that correct?
Seems like somebody could make some money here offering a turnkey "just add receiver" parts set. |

Ok, now we're getting somewhere. Does anybody have an impression as to how the Palmetto Armory kit compare in quality to that offered by Orion Guns, for example? Orion Guns 9mm AR

There's a store where you can part one together. My build consists of a rock river upper receiver: http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=242 A DDLES lower that takes colt SMG mags CMMG ramped bolt carrier Tros 4.5 inch barrel, threaded 1/2x28 but later added a tros 3 lug adaptor to it Seekins 9 inch MCSR rail AAC can with Triad adaptor I have zero issues with it, group within an inch at 25 yards all day long with american eagle 147 gr ammo. |

For some reason, it seems like more people build 9mms.
For example, the PSA kit has a 10.5" barrel; as a few have said, the weapon ends up being too long for what most people are building a 9mm for: a tiny, compact, suppressed gun. Additionally, rail is short and can will be more than completely exposed. The 9MM AR site short barrels but equally short rails. If you want to put most of your can under the rail like I did, you'll have to look somewhere else. |

I used a standard lower and PSA LBK. Added a Hahn dedicated mag block and buffer. Bought a complete 7" upper from JSE (incl bolt/CH). Grabbed some Metalform mags. It's never even had a hiccup.
It's threaded 1/2-36, so put a TROS 1/2-36 x 1/2-28 adapter, which allows my Osprey to clear the rail. Also let's me shoot unsuppressed if I want, and the muzzle is barely outside the rail. I have a couple Octanes now, and they'd tuck in the rail, but I haven't changed it due to the unsuppressed option.
