PAFOA Logo 9mm AR15 Carbine Build

[Emptymag]

I never got around to posting a dedicated thread to this 9mm carbine that so many of you helped me build.

This started out like so many other builds across this great land - "I have this lower sitting here - what should I do with it???"

I had this extra PAFOA laser engraved lower from the original group buy (2007ish?) and was sort of hanging on to it not wanting to ruin it's "NIB" status, but at the same time, I didn't really have the money to go buying another lower when I already had one that I could use. Screw it - is it really going to become a collector's piece or something? Not likely - I'm going to build something with it!

What to DO with it though? I got it in my head that a 9mm may be fun so I started this thread to pick the brains of the forum and see where it would take me.

Rather than blabbering on any further, I'll just post up the pics of the (mostly) finished carbine now and I'll blabber on about it in more detail as we go!



I thought the 2016 season's first snow would make for a more interesting back drop than plain ole' gravel...
