I am very interested in this as a tractor/truck gun. But ideally I need it to reach out to 100yds from time to time. I can not find one utube video on accuracy seems all the reviewers want to to is see if they can break the damn thing. Has anyone on here did any real accuracy tests out to 100yds?

I have a 10.5" Ar pistol and was looking at building something with a smaller barrel so was going to go 9mm. Whne pricing uppers and lowers ran across the ep9, I picked mine up testerday form my FFL took 3 weeks to ship.

I love the captured springs this company makes, I had the chance to shoot a 5.56 AR that had one paired with a suppressor & it was fucking glorious. 
I’m not the most mechanicaly gifted person, so I’m not sure I understand, will these springs work in this carbine? Is it quiet suppressed even without it? You folks almost have me ready to buy one of these, I’m soooo tempted... |

Had anyone tried to change out the muzzle device on their EP9?
I picked up a VG6 Gamma on the Black Friday deals thread. The threads are supposed to match, with 1/2-28. However when attempting to put the new one on, after only two rotations it binds up. Definitely feels like the threads don’t match up. I don’t have a tap and die that matches this. But has anyone else ran into this problem? Also since I don’t run any VFG or AFG, removing the lower rail section makes it a lot more comfortable to shoot. |

Quoted: I immediately wanted to shoot mine suppressed, but found my muzzle threads were oversized. Removed the barrel, recut the original threads & found they weren't concentric to the bore(Now they are). Also tried an AR-9mm 5" barrel, it wouldn't feed. Compared both & found a dimensional difference on the factory barrel. Once the AR-9 barrel was cut identical to the factory barrel, it feeds & functions perfectly, & my Ghost M is tucked a couple of inches into the handguard. |

I got mine, love it!
Put 1 box of WWB, 1 BOX of Wolf, and one box of reloads Plus 10 Speer Gold dots. I used the Magpul mag that came with it, 2 Glock mags and a 33rd ets mag. no issues at all, no failures, not one issue! A lot of fun to shoot! Edit: took it back to the range, Put a box of tulammo steel case, a box of remington UMC brass and a box of federal aluminum through it... NO hiccups, no malfunctions, no issues at all... Awesome gun, fun to shoot! |

Anyone have any difficulty with the 31 round ETS mags?
Mine seems to run perfectly but it holds the bolt open. I cannot use the bolt release if the ETS mag is inserted. I can release the bolt, insert the magazine and it will run without issue. None of my glock mags or the magpul mag that came with it have this problem. Out of spec mag? Is this a common issue? |

Question, can the picatinny rail on the bottom of the hand guard be removed? |

Favorite gun ever! I've run 900 rounds so far with exactly zero issues. Not one jam, not one failure to lock the bolt back. Nothing. I have a Glock 33 round, a Magpul 17 round, and an SGM 33 round magazine. All used about equally. I'll buy more SGMs. Glock is stiff to insert and doesn't drop free. Gun loves Champion aluminum case ammo. Wish I'd bought more than a case when it was on sale. I've added a cheapo AFG and single point sling. I'm using a Romeo 5 red dot. I've recently discovered shooting steel and I've lost some interest in group sizes on paper. I've got a reduced silhouette (B-C, C maybe) and 100 yard hits offhand are very doable. In fact my hit ratio is better than with my AR which has a 1-6 scope. This thing is so light! My range is in my backyard, so 900 rounds is spread over a month, not one marathon session. I'll try to answer any questions anyone may have.

Can't say as I've only shot the Extar. But you're seriously flip flopping between two guns that are almost $2000 different in price? |

Got my EP-9 in yesterday. Love the feel of it. Crazy lightweight. Pulled the rail off the bottom. Glock 33 round mags drops free no problem. The rail height makes normal AR style BUIS too high (tried MBUIS, did not like it) so I pulled the sights off my EVO Scorpion and it’s perfect. Does anyone know of a source for Scorpion sights or another set/brand that has the same height/axis?

Extar does not claim that all AR triggers will work in their gun. As a data point, I put a Larue trigger in my Savage Recon. The Savage nickel boron trigger group works fine in my EP9.

Did a little Dremeling and mounted a M-Lok hand stop. I may move the rail around to the 10:00 slot for a light one day.

I am super happy with mine, and you can put a regular pistol buffer tube on it. I id that and put a blade on it (it's the one on the bottom).
 I think there is a video on youtube where someone shows how to rig a folding stock |

There has been a design change on the EP9. The lower receiver end cap is no longer split and secured with the cross screw. An immediate disadvantage is that I can't loosen the cross screw to rotate the buffer tube to make fine adjustments to the brace orientation. I've enquired to Extar a second time about the new method of locking the BT, but so far no response.
Extar said: Dear Ken Thank you for your purchase. The improvement to our receiver extension is our latest revision. The brace should have been on straight, right out of the box. If you are trying to minutely move it, you can muscle the brace but you cannot rotate the receiver extension. Best regards, Customer Support |

May have found something the gun doesn't like. Was using a 33rd SGM mag as a rest. That one is loose in the mag well. Had two rounds with no firing pin indentation. Had just done the same thing with a Glock 33rd that's a very tight fit in the mag well without incident. A follow-up with the SGM held normally was flawless as usual. Then a 17rd Magpul with hollow points went off without a hitch.

I have had mine for a year and I love it. I have the 9mm model and I use 33 round mags. Never had a misfire or jam with any ammo I used. Accurate and fun to shoot and small enough to take with anywhere. I had a spare trigger so I dropped it in and this gave me a 3 pound trigger pull. Some people don't like the looks, but I like mine just fine. I got mine for $419. For that price, just get it.
