    Default Best Build Components for 9 MM AR Carbine Glock Mags with LRBHO that WORKS ?

    As the title suggests, I'm looking for opinions/experience on what components have proven RELIABLE in the build of an AR 9mm CARBINE for use with GLOCK mags.

    RELIABLE Last Rounds Bolt Hold Open Feature is a MUST.

    Also MUST RELIABLY feed JHP as well as Hardball 9mm Luger.

    I'm not looking to spend money for the sake of spending money....but cost is secondary to RELIABILITY....this will be a HOME DEFENSE firearm.

    All knowledge re: EVERY component and experience with same greatly appreciated.

    A knowledgeable gunsmith will be doing the build....I have been tasked with specifying all parts.

    Thanks in advance for any and all help.

    Try these guys, I know of several people that have built 9mm AR's with their parts and have had no complaints. https://newfrontierarmory.com/

    The do have the LRBHO feature and use Glock mags.

    I used the New Frontier Lower 80% for my AR9 build. I used a 9mm pistol upper with the dust cover and shell deflector. I did not like the look of the NFA upper, so my build runs but no LRBHO. Annoying, but I am dealing with it.

    NFA sells their LRBHO parts and can be adapted to a standard AR upper with some drilling and tapping. I may do this as a last resort.

    If you want a lower that takes glock mags, and has an integrated LRBHO then try this:

    It's an 80% lower, so this may not be a perfect fit. But...with a plunge router and a jig from 5D Tactical you might have a winner.

    Good luck on your build
    gotta love her ;)
