FAQ
Will this barrel work with my Glock magazine lower?
Yes, this AR9 barrel is compatible with lowers designed for Glock-style magazines, as well as other common 9mm lower patterns. It is a standard AR-9 barrel profile.
What type of handguard length should I use with a 4.5″ barrel?
For a flush look, a 4″ to 5″ handguard is typical. If you plan to use a muzzle device or suppressor, choose a slightly longer handguard to tuck it inside, or a shorter one to keep everything exposed.
