Quite possible. Probably wont fit the stribog profile as well. But would probably work.
I posted a thread recently asking opinions of the Ruger PC9 versus the Sub 2000. Most of the comments leaned toward the Ruger which I already have. I like it but it's on the heavy side. Thpught I migjt prefer the Kel Tec for the lighter weight and folding option. The Ruger has the take down feature but I really never use it.
Anyway according to the comments I got the Ruger is the better made rifle . But I already assumed that. The Sub 2000 is the handier more compact rifle.
I know the CZ is all the rage but I would never buy it. Too many other Glock mag options available for less money. Hell, I was just watching YouTube videos on the Extar EP9. It's not a carbine but I would buy one of those before I attempted to build another AR9.
Okay, so if I were looking for a 9mm carbine (16" barrel, staying out of NFA territory for now, and NO, I don't want an "arm brace" that doubles duty as a shoulder stock) and I want it to have these characteristics, what are my choices:
1-- Looks like an AR-15 type long gun, or M4, at first glance.
2-- Actually has the same manual of arms. Same buttons and levers in the same positions, doing the same functions, as anybody who's used an M16 / M4 would already be familiar with.
(this means the Just Right Carbine's off the list).
3-- Uses very popular and easily available magazines, which we could expect to still be available (maybe black market, maybe at higher prices) in the future, after some new gun law is passed. .At this time, I think that means I'm looking at 9mm carbines that use the Glock 17 / 18 / 19 magazines. That's all I know of, for full capacity 9mm pistols.
(The real Colt 9mm carbines are off the list for this reason. Mags are proprietary and expensive.)
4-- Is offered as a rifle, with a 16" barrel and a real butt stock. (Doesn't have to be fixed; could be telescoping).

5-- BONUS (not a firm requirement, but it would be nice): Threaded muzzle for a suppressor.
