Nobody?
Yeah, I just wanted something to plink with that's cheaper to shoot. I have a .223 AR that I built and I love it. I would however love a 9mm AR so I can practice with the AR format more often.Nikon,
From what I've been reading, a pistol caliber carbine is an answer to a question no-one asked.
Now, I think having a weapon like the Beretta 92FS and CX-4 might be useful since it can share ammo and magazines but most agencies go with the carbine as a primary and the sidearm as a back up.
Now, if it's for economical range plinking and fun, hey have at it. I didn't get a clear idea of what you intend to do with the 9mm AR build.
Cheers,
Thanks wolf.Nikon,
Excellent! Any chance to practice drills is a good investment in time/resources.
Can't tell you how ofter I've seen folks who don't even know how to properly perform a function check or malfunction clearance on their own weapon.
For range plinking and drills have you thought about the Ceiner .22 LR option?

Here's my write up and I love it! Scroll down for the groupings on the Fiocchi hypervelocity 40gr FMJ... fun for drills, cheaper than dirt.
If I make it out to Cleveland, I'll have to call you up to go to the range.
Cheers,
What did the upper run you?I built up one using the Oly upper and a Hahn block to use sten mags which I got for $4 each. Runs great. A 9mm AR is a very fun range toy, not much good for anything else though, same as my Oly OA-93 AR pistol. I wont be getting rid of either in the foreseeable future.![]()
Nice rifle. That mag looks longer than usual, what capacity is that?![]()
Download an Olympic Arms catalog, and you'll be able to price out whatever configuration you want.
I have an Oly FIRSH 12.5" quad railed handguard on the gun. I went with the longer handgaurd for a different look. It also extends the sight radius out a little bit, too.Which forend is that? Anyway I look at it, that's the look I'm going for as I piece upgrade mine.
The magazine is a standard 32-round Sten magazine. They do look freakishly long on the gun. I have a few magazines that I cut down to 15-rounders, which I mostly use.Nice rifle. That mag looks longer than usual, what capacity is that?
