Well, we started on this a couple months back as a Daddy/Daughter project, and getting parts turned out to be a real headache- lost shipments, shipping damage, out of stock, etc.......
But the last bits arrived Friday and everything is looking good so far-
Her primary design requirements were low recoil and it HAD to accept a bayonet.....you know, for, uh, zombies, and stuff.......
We went with a Stern Defense Beretta pattern magwell adapter, since I already had a goodly supply of M92 magazines on hand-
The adapter was the 2nd most expensive part on the whole gun (after the bolt), but is a top-quality product, worth the money, IMO. Its mostly billet aluminum with a steel feed ramp, built in ejector, and features a bolt hold-open. Some adjustment necessary, but once you get it clamped down, it is rock solid.
The Luth-Ar stock came off my AR10 and is a much better fit for the shorter charging handle throw of the 9mm when in the first two positions.
Other bits are a CMMG 16" barrel, Anderson lower and parts kit, Delta Tactical universal 9mm bolt, Blackhawk fore-grip, and Promag hand guard, along with a bunch of parts I found here and there left over from other builds, topped off with a Walmart special 10-Point 4X illuminated reticle scope she chose over several MUCH more expensive optics I had on hand. The el-cheapo scope actually has excellent eye-relief and good enough glass for 9mm distances.
Yes, we spent way more than if we had just bought a dedicated 9mm carbine, but of course, that wasnt the point.
Range report tofollow......Ill be interested to see if the adapter and bolt play nicely with the M92 mags!
