Everything went together great. I put standard M4 Furnitur on for now.
I have MOE sets in OD Green, black, FDE, and brown camo. I also have set of the Slim in OD green, just don't know which one I want to use.
The only thing I need now is a heavy buffer.
As soon as it stops raining I will take some pics.

Do not relish to feel what the men that used these weapons felt when they saw the elephant. For the elephant has tusk and to see him is to have his tusk dig deep into your soul. You will always have a part of you that will be cold and empty.

Since there are no serrations on the bolt, what are you going to do w. the hole for the forward assist? Wine cork?

Re: AR9 Build
I took it to the range fot a test run. I put 75 rounds through it and I have to say, I love this little carbine. I ran 115gr and 124gr FMJ and it shot great. I even ran some Speer Gold dot +P JHP in it and it didn't miss a lick.
I'm still going to pick up a heavy buffer and see how it works with it.

Hmm, pondering 147gr +P possibilities

Re: AR9 Build
I stopped in at Aklys Defense today while at lunch and picked up a Spike Tactcal T3 Heavy Buffer at a great price.
Back at work I had some trouble. I put the heavy buffer in and fired one round, that's where the trouble started. The buffer was stuck in the buffer tube for some reason and would not come out.
When I got home I removed the buffer tube and had a feeling that it was where the trouble was coming from. I had to slam the end of the buffer tube on a piece of wood to get the buffer and spring out. I then shined a light into the buffer tube and it looked like a 3 year old with a hand drill had cut the inside of the tube.
The milspec buffer worked in the tube but the Spick buffer was just a bit wider and was getting stuck on the ruffley cut walls.
I got out a new buffer tube and both buffers fit great. I then installed the new buffer tube and everything was good again.
My son Isaac helped me dress up the carbine with a FDE stock set.
I'll take it to work tomorrow amd see how it shoots with the heavy buffer.

Re: AR9 Build
I ordered a Schuster Forward Assist Plug for the AR-15 from Midway. They are made of Delrin and weight almost nothing.
It came in today and had the roll pin with it. Only took a min. or two to install it.
I also got a charging handel with the extended latch.
Here it is all finished along with four 33 round mags.
It shoots great with the heavy buffer.

Re: AR9 Build
OK, Stupid Question Time. Since this is based on a rifle design, I'm assuming that +P (or even +P+) loads are no problem? Or are there design choices with the pistol caliber components that affect that?
