Still waiting on the grip and most of the upper parts but they're coming.
It's going to have a 10.5" QC10 barrel, old school 9mm forged flat top upper, and MI 9.25" Combat MLOK rail. |

Might be because Colt semi-auto hammers are notched and we all know notched hammers won't work with blow back AR-9s.

I got the handguard and barrel.
The receiver and bolt (both CMT) should be here Monday and then I'll get it assembled. Here it is with a stand-in no feedramp cut upper. This upper is tight as hell though on the lower so I hope the actually upper that I'll be using is a little sloppier so I don't have to beat the pins in. MI 9.25" Combat Rail Magpul panels Griffin 3-Lug I've never built an upper so fingers crossed that it goes well! The finished lower is in the OP. |

It is done and shoots great. Zero issues in the 100rds I was able to put through it in the time I had.
I'm super happy with it and it's a blast to shoot! |

They are CMT parts and it is a dedicated 9mm upper as it doesn't have a hole for the gas tube. https://www.gunbroker.com/All/search?IncludeSellers=2507911 |

Nice build !
Make sure your bolt doesn't have to much space between the bolt catch and bolt face... about 3/16" is advised. ( otherwise bolt catches can break ) FWIW... CDNN has Metalform 32rd mags on sale. $30... be sure to clean any interior rust treatment / oil from the mag body and follower prior to use. The stuff is sticky https://www.cdnnsports.com/magazines/ar15-9mm-32rd-metalform.html?trk_msg=HCI3PLAN4HEKV9MM9CVV6A5TH0&trk_contact=3LUQ0J6EB9K4370M38QQ6QNN4C&trk_sid=RFGVJ8FC1EOHH6JPV1LB7FGKNS&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=https%3a%2f%2fwww.cdnnsports.com%2fmagazines%2far15-9mm-32rd-metalform.html&utm_campaign=CDNN+Sale+1-21 |
