FAQ
Will this barrel work with my standard AR-15 lower?
No, not directly. You will need either a dedicated 9mm AR lower designed for Glock or Colt magazines, or a standard AR-15 lower used with a 9mm magazine block adapter.
What bolt carrier group do I need for this AR9 barrel?
You need a dedicated 9mm blowback bolt carrier group. Standard 5.56/.223 bolts will not headspace correctly and are unsafe to use with this 9mm barrel.
