I really like the joe bob / faxon light weight profiles.

Macon Armory. Rudy will set you up.
I had a ton of problems with feeding issues in my first build. Upper was a pre-assembled purchase from another dealer. Took it apart and sent the barrel to Rudy, and he re-profiled the feed cone with his "guaranteed to feed" treatment. Now it feeds everything. I just ran another 400 through it a couple weeks ago and did not have a single stoppage. Colt magazine adapter in the lower. I was so impressed I bought my second build's barrel (5.5") from him and it has never had a feeding issue. Glock mag lower. |

I have used New Frontier armory and have had no problems...…..also have a Gorilla Machining that works...…….have a Faxon that sucked until Rudy at Macon got it to work...……...I would give him a shout and see what kind of barrels he has...……..After the bad luck with that faxon……….I would just give him a call...……...

Colt, Ballistic Advantage, Faxon, Foxtrot Mike, KaK, CMMG, and many others.
If this is your first, I'd recommend a CMMG Guard RDB parts for the upper, but I believe it can be tricky to get to work with Colt mags. |

I'll second that for Rudy's barrels, and he's always on this forum so you can ask him the questions. MaconArmory.com

Quoted:
I’m just now making the plunge into the AR9 world. I have a dedicated colt pattern reduced mag well lower coming. This will be built as a pistol and possibly eventually an SBR. Because I’ve never personally dealt with blowback 9mm AR’s I obviously have some questions. What barrels are known to be good? What barrels are known to be bad? I was looking at a 5.5” Ballistic Advantage barrel and found some negative remarks about feed cones. What’s that about and is this still an issue? I want a plug and play setup as much as possible but I understand AR9’s can be finicky. I don’t want to waste $$$ if I don’t have to. Thanks! |

Feel free to give me a call at the shop if you have any questions, I usually start answering the phone after 9:30AM so I get some uninterrupted time in the mornings in the shop...
I still have a steady stream of barrels coming into the shop almost daily for rework.....
