FAQ
Is this barrel compatible with my Glock-magazine AR-9 lower?
Yes, this AR-15 parts barrel is designed to work with the most common AR-9 lowers that use Colt or Glock-style magazine blocks, provided you have the correct corresponding bolt.
What type of handguard length should I use with a 4.5″ barrel?
For a flush fit with a muzzle device, a 4-5 inch handguard is typical. For a recessed or “tucked” look where the suppressor or compensator sits inside the handguard, you will need a longer model, commonly 7 inches or more.
