I have been looking all through the forum and I can't find anything related. Is there a difference in rails required for a 9mm? Will a standard AR mini quad rail fit on the 9mm AR pistol?
I have a few more questions while I'm at it. I have a newly acquired 5.5 inch 9mm AR pistol that was a suppressor host with a 10 inch quad rail. That being said can the gun safely be fired in that configuration. Is there any risk to using the gun without a quad rail? I'm looking for a way to be able to test while I take care of the trust and paperwork for SBR and suppressor. Thanks for helping the newb |
Every 9mm upper I've seen takes the same rails as a non 9mm. Shouldn't be an issue there. I'd be concerned if the rail went way past the end of the barrel, but that could be fixed w/ a fake can or something if you're waiting on stamps and want to shoot it now. On the other hand w/ a 9mm muzzle blast would be minimal so you might be ok if you keep your hands back of the actual muzzle. I'd shoot it and see what happens.  |

depending on what rail you have (well vented or not), you may wish to keep your hands as far back as possible, think mag well hold.
I would assume that the muzzle flash from the 9mm shouldnt blow the railed forend apart, after all you pretty much have a "fake can" on there with the rail longer than the barrel. |
