Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 9mm Carbine Upper recommendations?

With a new round of panic buying started, it's time to move forward with my next project, an AR in 9mm. With cast bullets I can reload 9mm cheaper then I can buy .22LR.

I already have the lower, one that accepts Glock magazines. (I guess that means I will need the ugly Glock to match?)

Does anyone have experience with or a recommendation on a 9mm Carbine upper?

Thanks.

I bought a PSA upper. Works fine. Only a few hundred thru it, it shot very well in a steel challenge match.

Which brand of lower?

Lone Wolf distributing has an upper for their 9mm lower that seems to get good reviews.

It's a New Frontier Billet C-9 Lower.

For me, PSA Glock lower.

Supercrewd,

I saw the PSA uppers, but PSA says they only work with their lowers, so I was a little leary of trying one.

I suppose I could mail my upper over and you can try it.

Or next time my wife and I are in Palisades we could stop by for coffee and a few mag dumps?

Sure

What is the thinking about shooting cast bullets in an AR? Would the gas tube need to be replaced every ????# of rounds fired.... Would powder coated cast work better?

A link to the AR that accepts Glock magazines would be much appreciated.

Blowback design.

A few others out there.

Thank you

There's a thread on this at the site named for the gun. I think people have done some mix and matches with good results.

Is everyone in CO getting a Glock mag lower?

Mag law 15 round restriction so use what you have.

Yep,

Pass a silly law,

Watch folks get creative and come up with new ideas.
