I’ve been putting together a 9mm AR-15 and I’ve hit a wall trying to find a lightweight 14.5” barrel. My idea is to add a barrel bushing or compensator that would increase the length to 16”. Anyone have any suggestions for a source?
So far, I’ve assembled a complete lower using a DDLES 9mm receiver and am still trying to decide on an upper and bolt/carrier. The American Spirit Arms side charger looks good and I'll probably use it, but I’m undecided on whether to use their carrier or a ramped CMMG, which would then have to be modified by ASA.
I’ve found that building one of these 9mm carbines is fun and not at all difficult to do, but finding some of the parts can be a problem. I think building a 5.56/.223 might be simpler.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with helpful suggestions and comments.
