Why would you want a 9mm AR? You'd get the size and weight of a .223 caliber rifle and a much less powerful round. Cheap 9mm and cheap .223 cost about the same, so no savings on ammo. Recoil is not an issue for .223, and a 9mm blowback gun probably kicks harder than a DI .223. I can think of a free state application-9mm SBR with a can loaded with subsonic rounds would make an awesome home defense gun (.45 would be even better), but the OP lives in MA. I'm not criticizing, I'm just curious.

It's been stated something to shoot indoors. And well I just want another gun. Lol
Rotary and I are members of HSA too. I'm sure he'll hit you up! Hope to see you around the range sometime.This is also an excellent reason. I live in Hopkinton and I'm a HSA member, if you ever want to shoot the 9mm Colt let me know. I will have the Tavor 9mm soon as well if you would consider that an option.

Model-1 Sales also does them. I ordered an upper in March last year and it was delivered in early December. I don't think they have any mag-well adapters and unless you get lucky at a gun show you may not find one. I have a pre-ban colt 9mm carbine I've thought about selling, but probably more than you want to spend.Thinking about piecing together a 9mm AR. Anyone know a good place to obtain parts for this. And anyone have any experience with them? Talk me out of this. I'll be sleeping in the street.
My 9mm commando setup for my '16 is all parts and runs pretty clean. I put it together specifically to be able to shoot it indoors where F/A are allowed. There are really only three points for failure: Headspace, magwell adapter misalignment, crappy mags. Get a bag adapter and not much you can do but get another one and they are ass-expensive now.Like pdm said Rock River seems to be a good place to look for parts. Do you need to build it or would you buy a factory rifle? The reason I ask is that there is a lot of feedback regarding pieced together 9mm AR's as being a bit finicky. For the time and cost involved building, you might be better off just buying a factory assembled rifle. I can certainly understand wanting to pick up the parts to build it yourself though.
SIG has a couple in their [thread=233791]new product lines[/thread], should be interesting to see how they sell.Colt does not offer a factory SBR 9mm AR-15. Only 16 inch brl and 2 SMG's. If Colt offfered a Semi Auto - SBR? Would it sell?
So if I get a 9mm upper and magazine adapter, I can drop it onto an existing SBR lower, assuming I build the lower with an appropriate hammer?

People always seem to bash Olympic Arms, but I've had my ar for quite some time and never had a problem. They have a line of pistol caliber ar's. Check them out.

Now I get it-indoor ranges that allow only pistol calibers. I never really thought of that, where I shoot rifles are for outdoor only regardless of the caliber, only .22 rifles are allowed inside.
