FAQ
Is this barrel compatible with my Glock-magazine AR-9 lower?
Yes, this AR9 barrel is designed for use with standard AR-9 uppers and is compatible with lowers that use Colt or Glock-style magazines, as the compatibility is determined by your upper receiver and bolt carrier group, not the barrel itself.
Does this barrel require a specific handguard length?
For a flush fit, you’ll want a handguard approximately 4″ to 4.5″ long. A slightly longer handguard can also be used to partially tuck a muzzle device, which is a popular look for these compact AR-15 parts builds.
