AR9 build or buy

And I was really hoping less than $600, I have a hard time wanting to pay more for that than I did for a 5.56 and I have lowers and uppers from PSA that together didn't cost that much.

So I am assuming you spent more than that on your Scorpion yet somehow you get cheap on a 9mm carbine if it?s based on the AR platform?


Also, as far as using the Ruger in a PCC match, I?d do it in a heartbeat. It has less recoil than any AR platform 9mm I?ve fired and has a last round hold open and it even falls in your sub $600 budget.

Honestly though, if I were you I would just run the Scorpion.

I do get the thing about familiarity though as far as the ergonomics and controls layout so definitely don?t fault you for wanting some sort of AR type carbine.

Yes I did spend more than that on the Scorpion. I was really hoping someone would say take one of my current lowers and put an adapter in it for glock mags and get "this" upper at "this" place for only $250 but seems nobody has gone the route of an adapter that is seriously using an AR9 type. So I'm guessing that's probably not the way to go and I will just have to look for the best alternate option.
