I put one together once. It wasn't as fun as I thought. They shoot like a .22lr to me so I sold it. It was a good gun and many people really like them though. Mine was all RRA in the upper and conversion parts.

I just put together an AR-45 not a nine but the same function. I really like it if you have any questions I would be happy to help you out anyway I can :)

I have a slick side upper on the way and a PSA lower that has a dedicated glock lower, the thing that I am curious about is the BCG? Should I go with PSA or another company? And for the barrel, do I go for a pistol or 16? Not sure on which route to take

Old post, but I have this my "2018 project".. pls shed light: I was looking at some PSA complete lowers that are "for Glock mags".. but disclaimers stated that they are only for "PSA 9mm Upper" ???

any truth to that? I cannot use other 9mm upper? That sucks..., if true.

You might check with Dan @ Larson Systems. I've got a 9MM he put together. I liked it so much I had one in .45 ACP built when the parts became available.

This is a Factory Colt 9mm Carbine with some updates. It’s really a nice shooting PCC. I bought this one for less than I could build one.
