Nobody?
Who's running a 9mm?

Thinking about going 9mm with my next build. Not sure of the best way to go. You have the RRA/Colt upper, as well as the Oly upper. I like that the Oly setup uses a standard lower. No special hammer etc. Also the RRA setup can be a bit finicky at first with the uzi mags. Or..may go the RRA route, use a drop in block, and pop in a 32 round pro-mag.
This is pretty sweet.

I'm running the RRA 9mm. It's way too much fun. When I snagged it the guy gave me a couple of the pro-mags and a couple of the colt mags. Well I sold the colt mags and bought 4 more pro-mags to replace them. No issues with the pro-mags at all.
Do note that there is a spring that covers the firing pin inside the BCG.. don't lose that
Lost mine in the first time I cleaned it and didn't even notice it until it went to the range the next time Well it's only $2 to replace from RRA so no big deal
They don't use the gas system so replacing the hand guards and FSP with a mid or rifle length rail is cheaper because you don't need the gas block

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.

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.

Olympic Upper, DPMS lower, Hahn mag block. I love it. It has run like a champ since round one. It is a lot of fun.

I am. I haven't shot it in a while though.

Ugg... I abhor the promags.
They seem to swell when fully loaded (and as a result they're hard to insert). I dropped two that were loaded and they split down the seam. (apparently they have a lifetime warranty and someone told me to contact them and see if they'll replace the mags)
But, I would keep an eye open for deals on the Cproducts "Colt" mags. They're slightly higher than what you'd pay for converted uzi mags, but they're more than half as cheap as Colt brand 9mm Carbine mags.

Nice rifle. That mag looks longer than usual, what capacity is that?![]()
