Nice Score!! Let the fun begin,
I have had a stripped 9mm lower for a while now and it's been safe queen. Now I need to find some reputable place to build it for me so its 100% perfection, I don't want to mess anything up. |

I'm thinking Aero or Foxtrot Mike, both of which use Glock mags |

Interesting I've bought a couple of items, parts from them and ship times were reasonable This upper is built to order so I don't expect it on my step tomorrow It's in the fine print |

I hear a lot of this from them. It caused me pause when they had a smokin' dial on a BCG/upper/CH combo. I punted. |

A friend of mine got one of their upper kits and it wouldn't feed anything. The cheap port door cover also arrived broken in half. I sent the barrel to Rudy at Macon armory for his feed cone work (he did both my barrels) but the way the ramp was cut in my friends barrel made it impossible. Save the headache and buy a barrel from rudy

Black Creek Precision, Angstadt, or QC10 for the lower.

Primary Arms has Foxtrot Mike complete lowers on sale right now.
I impulse bought one of these last week for my pending R9, trying to figure out the best way to make it ball/roller locked. Already tinkering and ordering parts for it.  Attached File |

I guess I’m a fudd, but I like Colt mag lowers.
But again if you’re invested in Glock mags that’s the way to go. |

In that case, glock is a single feed pistol mag. Colt is a double stack smg mag based on a Uzi mag.

Late to the party... so much going on I can't check in very often.
Take a look at my site Blowback9.com for almost everything you need to know about building an AR9. I put it all together specifically for people like you just getting into it. Good luck with the build! __________ Blowback9.com - 9mm AR info and troubleshooting. (My site/links/posts generate no income. I am not affiliated with any business.) |

Did not know that, thanks I prefer Colt mags for those reasons. I like my Black Creek Precision lower except that the front edges of the mag well aren’t radiused so they’re pretty sharp. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've read about them, so tempting Congrats on new upper. 9mm AR's are a blast, particularly if you reload. Suppressed subs are a joy to shoot. I have the Banshee Mk4 9mm complete rifle that takes the Endomags. There really isn't a downside to them. You use a regular Milspec lower that you can run any trigger on (binary, 2 stage, etc). They've been dead reliable for me. I use the CMMG branded ones, if nothing else, just so they are easy to spot in bag of mags. SBR the lower then slap on any upper you want taking advantage of your chosen fire control group, stock, etc. |
