9mm math
Tam is showing the guts of her new 9mm AR-15 (which, by the way, is sweet – she let me hold it when I was last in the shop). I did the math on my pending 9mm project:
Upper $400
9mm Hammer $15
RRA Mag Block $120
Rear Sight $75
5 magazines $55
Total $665
Plus a lower, which I have. And, eventually, some sort of optic. Since it’s just going to be a range gun, I’ll probably slap a Tacpoint on it. We’ll call it $900. All that just to shoot indoors.
Update: Tam another pic here. Why the flurry of interest? I’m a trendsetter. No, I kid. Probably because it’s winter and we want to shoot EBRs indoors. Plus, you promised us matches at CCA.
Update 2: And a stock. Thinking M4 stock or an Ace Skeleton.

Hmmm. For $500 MSRP I could have a nice little Winchester 94 in .357 Magnum that I could shoot indoors…
Us revolver/lever gun folk are a pain in the ass, aren’t we? 🙂

Sounds like a good idea.
I may get the boys at Predator to build me a 9mm AR – 15 sometime for general plinking.

Don’t you need a 9mm buffer?

Not sure yet. Haven’t decided on a stock. Doh. Need to add a stock to the cost.

What about the bolt and op-rod? Most of the uppers I’ve seen they come seperate and cost about $100 extra.

ADCOs come complete according to the guys at arfcom.

According to the arfcom FAQ, if you’re using a collapsable stock (CAR, M4, ACE SOCOM), you’ll need a 9mm buffer.

I just bought an ACE stock for my AR build….they’ve got seconds for $55. They’re not any cheaper on ebay.
