I'm thinking about building a 9mm upper myself. I have instructions on how to do a reg .223 upper. I can't seem to find anything on just a 9mm build. Is it the same as a .223 but without a gas tube? I'm looking at getting a spike's tactical upper to build on. Any kind of help would be great.

Simply insert barrel to upper,  tighten barrel retaining nut, install bolt, all done... anything forward of the barrel nut is optional.

Yup.  It's exactly the same as a .223 without the gas tube, and since you don't need gas, you can do anything you like for a sight.  Building a 9mm upper is very simple to do and quite quick with the right tools.
