FAQ
Will this barrel work with my standard AR-15 lower receiver?
No, this barrel requires a dedicated AR-9 lower receiver designed for Glock or Colt-style 9mm magazines, or a standard lower with a mag block adapter.
Is this barrel compatible with both Glock and Colt-style AR-9 uppers?
Compatibility depends on your upper receiver and bolt carrier group. You must ensure your bolt and upper are matched to the same magazine type (Glock or Colt). The barrel itself works with both systems, but the feed ramps must align with your specific bolt.
