I know some of y'all have some badass 9mm AR builds. Would like to see them and hear your thoughts.

This build will use Colt mags and basically be a range toy and hopefully my wife enjoys shooting it also.

I have a Geissele 15" rail coming next week, pretty excited about that. I think this build is going to get a flat top upper with a red dot, gonna finish the lower with a Hahn mag block. Might use a Colt 9mm buffer/spring to get me started and see how that goes. Been hearing good things about the silent captured spring from some of you guys, just trying to not run out of money putting this thing together!

The real deal Colt aluminum stock/buffer tube may wind up on another build later. I REALLY dig it but it just doesn't fit the theme here. (It did fit until I changed the build on the upper)

The flash can may or may not be temporary either. I'm thinking about one of these: https://www.kakindustry.com/ar-15-p...-breaks/for-1-2-36-threads/blastconverter-9mm

Got some parts in. Enough to mock it up and see what it's gonna look like. I may have the barrel chopped/pinned/welded later when I decide what muzzle device to keep. Any suggestions?

I have a cheapish red dot coming this week.

Now I need mags and a magblock, bcg and buffer assembly.

Might put an VLTOR Emod on this thing. I like the way the stock feels but it doesn't look right. But if I remove it, it's gonna turn into an XM177. LOL
