It's going to be hard to capture the context of this subject but, here's what to refer to just in case: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=8&f=35&t=250921&page=1&#-1 This is mostly directed at Book but, any information anyone can chime in with would be greatly appreciated...

I have one of JKiser's custom 11.5" SBR uppers and it rocks. Stag M4 feed ramp upper Stag 11.5" 1/7 twist chrome-lined barrel w/ M4 barrel extensions I've got a DD 9.0 Lite Rail on mine with PRI low-profile gas block w/ ARMS #40L Rear and PRI flip-up front sight. He can customize that upper any way you want it.  I also have a Colt 9mm AR I'm about to sell if you're interested. I was going to SBR it, but I've moved to another project. It is a LEO/Restricted marked Colt lower with factory Colt Mag Block, 10 x 32 round steel LEO marked Colt mags, M4 handguards, RRA 16" 9mm upper, Colt 4-position milspec collapsible stock. It's got a RRA Dominator and EoTech 512.a65 Rev. F on it but I would separate those if you didn't want them. Let me know if you're interested. |

Cool. Thanks! Now, where to start? For a 9mm SBR, I vote a TROS-USA barrel with a three-lug adapter. AAC will have a 3-lug mount for their Evo-9 can sometime in the next few months. At that point you could use the Evo-9 on the AR and a pistol or some other 9mm platform. If you go with a 9mm AR with a threaded barrel, just get the .5x36 pistol with the Evo-9. You can swap out pistons easily to use the can with different hosts. I don't like integral 9mm setups. I'd rather let the ammo determine velocity and sound. If you are rolling your own anyway, it is a no brainer. Guys wanting integral 9mm setups want them so they can stick whatever cheap 115-grain ammo that is available down the pipe. My thoughts. Mark |
Sorry but I hate the predator rail too!  I'd be getting this one w/ an EOTECH if I decided to go with .223 suppressed: www.pof-usa.com/P-416/P-415-11-BP-SF%20upper.htm Was that the same rig of yours I shot at the class? |
Didn't you read where he needed to purchase a Colt 9mm here - Colt 9mm AR? Edited to add: The Colt has an EoTech on it.

This is also a very good route. The Colts are good to go. |

HKShooter..........Yes it was the same one you shot in VSP's class. Keep in mind though that no matter what you suppress will put gas back in your eyes and face. The piston uppers just have less. It still feeds back down the barrel and into the chamber. The 9mm's have a good bit as well. Just don't want you to be disappointed with the results expecting no blowback. |
I understand but, when I shot the one you were selling, it wasn't noticeable at all. VSP's on the other hand was like getting sprayed in the face with as little as a 2 or 3 round burst on F/A but his was DI. I know someone who works at Autrey's (Don't want to post his name here) who owns a 9mm AR with a suppressor. He said I could shoot it sometime and I'll probably take him up on that soon... |

Was VSP using a Gas Buster CH? With a can you WILL get some blowback on an AR. You can try a GasBuster to cut it down or maybe try the silicone caulk trick on a standard CH. You can also experiment with different lubes. I run my guns pretty wet, so you are more likely to get CLP spray when shooting my suppressed ARs. Dry lubes aren't as bad on the spray. I also shoot nose to CH and get more spray on my cheek than anything. If you shoot with your eye behind the CH and inch or tow you'll get a lot more spray in it.  |
No kidding, I was crying after shooting your 20" AR after Mike's class. I have however shot another member's AR w/ M4-2000, and there was zero blowback. It was slightly dryer than Book's though. |
