what do ya'll recomend for a 9mm ? I started looking into the 9mm set-up for the AR, but unsure about the 'mods' required of the lower.

I want something that'll have readily avail. mags and will eat regular and subgun ammo.

AR version or an HK or...???

thanks!

You might want to look at the M11/9 carbine. You can easily find these for under $300 and magazines can be had for $20 a piece. Later on you could convert the reciever to accept Sten magazines. Also there's a semi-auto Sten kit for $300, you get the reciever, semi auto parts and a 16" barrel.

If you want expensive there's the AR-15 in 9mm which you can build for under $1000. The HK-94 you'll pay at least $2000 or get the lesser SW-5 for $1000. Both the HK-94 and AR-15 in 9mm magazines are expensive.

Contact Rock River Arms for a 9mm upper for your AR. The ones i saw at the SHOT show were GREAT! And their price is very competitive. STAY AWAY FROM SPECIAL WEAPONS CRAP!

My OLY 9mm AR uses the socom block and unmodified sten mags (10 for about $48 w/ shipping). now this may not be you cheapest route. but you would wind up with a vary nice toy you would get alot of use out of.....just my opinion.

I would suggest an IMI UZI Carbine. You can get 9mm, 45, 22lr, and 41Ae kits for it. Then you can register it as a short rifle or convert to full auto with a registered kit and then silence the thing. This way you can grow into the perfect gun in steps.

I like the HK94, but very pricey. I have never cared for the Uzi. right now I'm checking out the sten gun option...

so far I found a parts kit for the Sten at Tapco ($150+)

how about a semi auto sten kit designed for the cheap $25 mk3 kits out there now? and it will cost under $150 delivered? no ffl because it's a raw tube and you make it yourself... check the site www.semiautosten.com in about 2 weeks.

I would recomend the any of the Calico Liberty series 9mm's. They work on the same roller delayed blow back system almost identical to the H and K. They are very reliable, very acurate and about a quarter the cost of the HK-94. The only draw back is the $200 magazines.

The HK-94 you'll pay at least $2000

WHERE IN THE HELL CAN YOU GET A HK 94 for about $2000? im in if you know of some

You might also look into one of the carbines made by Feather Inustries; I've no experience with 'em, myself, but everybody I've talked to who has one likes it.
