OP, this project has turned out nicely. Hope its reliable for you and provides lots of fun at the range. I'm sure it will. I just finally got around to chasing down everything I needed for my .22 shorty upper. Once thats out of the way a 9mm AR pattern rifle is in my future so I'm looking at some of those 9mm threads now for inspiration. Yours has provided good info. Thanks so much. It doesn't help I'm considering getting my self a Dead Air Wolf. Mainly to use with .300 blk but having a 9mm can available won't help me resist the urge to start an AR 9 project lol. If you haven't considered a can maybe you should. A Wolf or Omega 9 would be killer on your project.

Thanks!
I am considering a can. And red dot options, and lights and lasers slings and cases... Right now, I am still trying to decide between the Maxim/JP SCS 9mm buffer/spring (weight removed from the BCG), and the Maxim standard 9mm buffer/spring (weight remains). |

Damn my eyes. Ever since I had Lasik, I ALMOST can't see a clear front sight post (at this gun's particular distance).
I may have to eventually scrap the irons. |

You may be already aware of the various prism sicopes from Vortex, Primary Arms, and others. I have a Vortex Spitfire 1X that has solved my vision issues. Just awesome, both eyes open, I can see a clear reticle as well as a clear target downrange. Primary Arms just released their 1X prism scope, the ACSS Cyclops. You might want to check it out; it looks like a winner. Etched reticle, so you wont need irons. However, the Maxim Brace and this barrel length brings the front sight closer to my eyes than any other weapon I own. |

I’ll add in a couple of pics of an Angstadt lower with an Aero upper/handguard.
The lines don’t line up but from the specs Angstadt gives, their handguard isn’t big enough for my inbound can to fit in.  Attached File Attached FileBut from a bit further away, I don’t think I’ll loose sleep over it.  Attached FileBig shout out to Rudy / Macon Armory for the 10mm DI goodness. He entertained a lot of screwy questions and ideas from me on this. Not to mention a lot of advice and “you really don’t want to do it that way and here’s why” guiding me along. Now I just need to get out and shoot it. Thanks Gary |

I had to switch out the Holosun for an Aimpoint T1, because I needed the Aimpoint mount (low spacer) that allows cowitness with HK sights.
My Holosun is not compatible with Aimpoint mounts. I also added a Streamlight Protac R1 on an Arisaka offset mount. Pics pending... |

Why did you go with such a low height over bore?
