As a fan of the 9X23 myself, I like the idea, but mag problems pretty well doom this from the start...
9X25 AR maybe

Mags are easy! You can make the Sten modification or if I EVER get the program to accept my design, the Ppsh43 mags (originally for 7.62 x 25)
But seriously. Milling the back rib out of a Sten and tacking new backplate on it allows loading 7.62 x 25. These (and the 9 x 23 I would think) we run in gas mode so Oly Sten adapter, slightly opened 223 bolt and you're in business. The Ppshmag adapter will be like the Colt system, so you can run it blow back Colt style or gas mode Gunz, box with present going out tomorrow |

Marty... see, this is why I like hanging around you guys
 So, now figure out what mag I need for a 9X25 gun... something that started life as a 10MM maybe? I am on the road, no hurry on the package, wont be home for a few weeks still... but I am looking forward to it! You have bolts for these too? Later

Check out Randalls 35-40 project, basically the 338 Spectre upped to 9mm .. (or the 9 x 33) The 9 x 25 will work in the Ppsh mags as well, Meepers did a 10mm FAL using Ppsh mags ... they are quite versatile.
Bolts for your present are standard 6.8 as are mags. I am all out but figured you might be able to find one .... feet wet or dry? |

There is a dedicated Rimfire and Pistol Caliber AR forum here. That's really where your post should be.

Why not hit the "easy button" and order a .30 carbine upper from Oly? It's a turn-key solution, backed with a warranty, using USGI magazines, with commercial ammo available in bulk. (all those not being 9x23 attributes) |

Didn't realize there was a pistol caliber specific area - if a md reads this, please feel free to move it...
9x23 is the specific round I'd want to use... but this thread has given me some ideas. Thanks for the input! Any more mag suggestions and I'm all ears :) |

That kinda scratches that plan then. Better use an RRA.
