I've been wishing someone made something like this for a long time and now it seems they do. Probably unbeknownst to me all this time. Curved mags for tapered cases is the only thing that ever made sense to me. Looks like I'm going to have to build one now!

I know. I'm sitting here counting the money I don't have, trying to figure out how I can make this happen. LOL
The lower itself isn't THAT expensive if you consider that a QUALITY mag block to add to a standard AR lower will cost $100-$175.
I'm not sure what they mean about the "cuts" needed in the upper, but that's when the price starts to hit you - unless someone else offers a similar upper for less.
I'm still trying to justify spending 2x the money for a 9mm pistol than the cost of an Extar EP9.
"Ugly" is only so unappealing when you don't have the money to pay for "SWEET".

Re: Post your AR with pictures here!
Yeah, I never really thought I wanted to build a 9mm AR until I saw the Frontier lower! I could start another build but I still have other accessories to buy for my other guns...optics, slings, mags, ammo...the list goes on! LOL...decisions, decisions! I did just order a SBA3 to replace the Shockwave on my 7" 5.56!

I like, but since I bought a lower that takes Colt stick mags and 15 mags to go with it, I can't make myself buy one that takes HK mags given the price.
HK MP5, SP5K, HK94 9mm 30-Round Magazine $66.99.

I don’t worry so much about funding it but I’ll say I’m going to start slow and order a part here and there then I start fiending for it and I’m online ordering everything I need and then some. I’ve really tried to curb my gun spending as well unless I really want it. This made me go ohhh though so let’s see what my willpower is like

If I can get good mags at $15 a piece, I'm in.
