Will a 9mm lose any performance from a 16'' barrel? I may eventually SBR a 9mm upper but I think I want to go ahead and get a upper and get a 16'' build together.

In the future I may have it cut to a 10.5'' but for now I may just do a 16.

Plan on running a CMMG or DPMS lpk, 6 position stock with 9mm buffer, c products mag block, and a RRA flat top upper.

9mm is fine from a 16" barrel. Ive got a couple 16" 9mm's.

Could you IM some information about what 9mm uppers your offer? I want a 16'' flat top with a weaver gas block.

My 9mm data shows a 200fps increase, when shot through a 16" carbine. So to answer your question, No. My favorite load is 115gr fmj, over 6.4gr Power Pistol. 1500fps through my RRA 9mm.

What barrel length are you comparing the 16" against to get the 200fps increase?

badazzar15,



I would also be interested in what 9mm AR options you offer.  I took a look at your web site but did not see anything.

4.75" CZ75,  I thought the increase would have been more than 200fps, but the 9mm case won't hold enough slow powder to get much more velocity.

Little curve here,   I put a 124 with a good dose of Accurate #7 through a 10.25" and 16" and the averages were both 133x from both barrels.
