My First AR build 9mm conversion

[GunPhonatic]

List of parts I have so far:
C-products 10/32 rd mags
C-products RRA Mag block
Stark Pistol Grip w/trigger guard
KNS pin set
MOE CTR stock assembly
9mm Trigger hammer from Rainer Arms
DPMS Trigger hammer
9mm Buffer
Tactical Innovations Spikes Lower Receiver
DPMS Lower Parts Kit
prince Bullet Button
Spikes 9mm upper w/DD m4 rail. fake can
PRI front site
Matech rear site
Aimpoint clone
some cheap made in china VFG


Finally got this thing done after waiting for the Upper and other small parts here it is

Be prepared to swap out the C-Products mag block. Their performance is spotty at best. Try it and see how it works but it may require a swap to a RRA or Hahn block.

I'd also buy some 32 round mag repair kits. You can then build/permeantly modify them to 10 rounds. The short 10 round mags are tough to insert/remove. The 32 round mag body allows a full grip on the mag.

The C-products magazine does look cheapy, its plastic and I only bought it for 65 bucks. We will see how it turns out I guess. The 32 rd mags are on the way. Im having someone pin them to 10 rds for me.

Heres where I stand right now. Just waiting for the Upper from Spikes. The magazine has a good amount of play when inserted into the magwell. Is this the fault of the Magblock? Is this how they all are? Or is it just the Cproducts?

Please post pics when complete, I want to do a 9mm conversion eventually.

[GunPhonatic]

Sure will, just waiting on the upper that should be here in a week or so.

You are almost there, since you bought a Spike's Upper you can use the standard hammer since they used the CMMG Ramped Bolt in their upper.

Here is a pic of mine:


^------ That is a CA Legal 10/32 mag which is in the AR at all times


Specs:

Sun Devil Lower
RRA LPK
RRA 9mm Buffer
VM Hy-Tec Block
Raddlock
Spike's Tactical Custom Made 9mm with Fake Can
Magpul's CTR, MIAD,XTM, ASAP, and MS2
EOTech 516
(Not shown is a propriotory fin I made to make it Featureless)

Sorry for threadjacking, but the more people see around the Bay Area hopefully the more we will see built

I did not know that about the hammer Gio. Will theere be any issues if I use the 9mm hammer though? Nice Rifle!

I am not sure, I would try it first and see if it works or not then try a regular hammer.

Also thanks for the compliment, it shoots like a dream plus 32 rounds down the barrel at a time is nice

You may want to check with Spike's about the hammer. I think it is fine but is ramped so you can use it with regular hammer. CMMG actually recommends a DPMS style standard AR hammer. They do not have a notch on the face and will work fine if you decided to use a .223 upper.

[GunPhonatic]

Thanks for the info guys.

I have a RRA mag block and C/products mags with no play. If you have a loose fitting mag it is the C/products mag block.

It may not have much effect on function if you keep your hand off of the mag during firing. I'd start saving up for a Hahn Maching mag block, they are the cat's a**

Hope you're using 32 round mags out of state (as you've got a bullet button on there)

he said in another post that what was not showing in the pic was a custom grip fin that he had made.

Rifle = featureless = pre-2000 standard-cap mags OK

Ok, missed that.

However, better have a pinned or fixed stock now and that still doesn't explain away the photo with a high cap mag in a fixed mag build (or did he say that was modified to a 10/32 and I missed that too?).

Not trying to be a jerk, but posting pics of a rifle that appear to be in a configuration that's a felony on a DOJ monitored forum is cause for some concern. There's a lot of asterisks that need to be accounted for since he never mentioned modified mags, talks about 32-round mag bliss, has a CA location in his profile and shows a pic of a bullet-button build with an apparent high cap mag.
