Where are we on the spectrum of refinement on these designs? I'm looking for information about reliability, finicky ammo situations, temperamental builds etc.
For example, for a basic 5.56 pattern rig, I can go buy parts (individually, uppers, lowers, etc.) or go buy a rifle off the rack and be pretty much assured that the rifle will run as it should. But in the world of 7.62x39 and sometimes 22lr rigs there're still a lot of considerations for the bolt, magazine, springs, etc. Have these Glock dedicated rigs evolved to plug and play type reliability / refinement, or are they a tinkerer's toy at this time? Your thoughts? |

I honestly don't know why someone hasn't capitalized on this more. If you have the tooling for an AR lower then you are missing a huge market IMO.
The only one I consistently debate on buying but never have is the LWD, just because they are pretty dedicated to glock parts. All that was a long way of saying "tag". |

Glad to hear your success on the Spartan build. Did you use the Spartan Upper as well? Did you use the side charging handle or slick side version? I was considering buying the JP 9mm dedicated lower and upper, but then saw the Spartan on Jo Bob Outfitters--and heavily reconsidering.
Also, what BCG and buffer spring did you use? I may still use the JP bolt carrier and JPSCS-9, but am concerned about possible compatibility issues after reading a few reviews on the Spartan upper. Any other comments about your Spartan build are much appreciated!! |

Any other comments about your Spartan build are much appreciated!! I used a regular Spartan AR-15 upper receiver. I ordered the slick side one but they sent a regular AR-15 one, and I just went with it. I really like these with the billet Spartan lower. I'll probably get a LRBHO slick side upper receiver when available, and use this upper receiver for a regular AR15 build. I am using a POF trigger and a BAD SS selector. For BCG, I used the NFA modular bolt. I am also using an NFA 16" SOCOM barrel and KAK 9mm buffer. I wanted to use as much NFA/Spartan parts as possible. Basically, if JoeBob sells it and it's for a 9mm AR, it went into this build. So far just 20 rounds down the pipe (so not much of a test), but this baby runs nice so far!  " />
