Did you choose not to use the CMMG conversion kit because of cost? Thanks.
Yeah pmags suck in a ar9
Spikes Tactical dedicated 9mm lower. Zero issues, always reliable. Definitely recommend.
Good video and love the location. Looks like every place I love in Western Oregon.
422 complete diy is my newest ar9, never looked at buying one done.
Great video
Very well done covering the round staying on the extractor issue.
If you want a range toy or something to train your 12 year old on then these 9mm PCCs are cool. If you want a gun for defending your home or in your vehicle I’d definitely move up to a center fire rifle round like 5.56mm, 5.45mm, 7.62×39 or 7.62 NATO.
Edgar, I’m trying to get ahold of your brother Alan. Is he ok? I think my brother has become a vampire…
What kind of Rail system is on that 8" AR9? I dig the look of it.
How am I just realizing hop and James are related🤭
you should revisit this series for November/December 2021 on the AR-9 platform
I'm allergic to fine measurements….lolol that hit home
Ejector on the magazine?! Those Endo mags seem extremely dangerous.
I would love to see someone come out with an adapter or stripped lower for scorpion mags!
I was thinking of building a AR9 probably gone build a Anderson or a PSA I have several builds of. Anderson just not in 9mm caliber in your opinion which Lower would your prefer or more reliable ?
I'm new to guns and want to build an ar9, can you make a video about other parts that you've used? Really good videos, it makes me want to build one myself.
This dude fucks
i should have listened
What front sights are those?
I love your videos. Super informative.
Ha! Fuck plastic..!
I dont think its the endo mags problem, the problem is the bolt carrier, they need to invent one with an integral ejector on the bolt carrier.
Some awesome shooting and informative!! Keep them coming
Just finished my 5th AR build in 9mm. My KG upper came with the "Endomag". Boy does that thing suck really bad! Just like in your video. I have the glock mag adapter on the way right now. Already received my 33 round glock mag from MidwayUSA. Very excited to switch over to the Glock conversion system!
You missed the Stern Defense conversion insert…by far the best of the conversions for Glock mags…last round LRBHO, and a new mag release, which is right in front of your trigger finger
The ATI mag block I got was 100% fail. I may try the Stern Defense . Anyone tested those out yet? Hard to tell what is a true review and what is just paid review these days
