Not a budget minded build. And I want to make this thing sexy! I just found this receiver set. It's pretty darn good looking. If you have an idea on any part or furniture, please let me know! ARQ9-3-500x500.jpg
I'm thinking around 5". I'll lathe my own blast can till I can get Santa to bring me a suppressor.
 
Wow ! And me with just a Ruger Charger and of course my wonderful old Calico 900 . I just resprung the Calico , if kept clean and use 50 round mags it has been very reliable for 25 years and also bought their scope mount to put on A Holosun 510 :)

:what::thumbup: Always thought the Calico was cool- in a 1988 Miami Vice villian sort of way.:D

9mm carbines are just about the funnest guns ever!

Had one of the 16" Norinco Uzi clones and it was terrible- I think it was sprung for much hotter ammuniton than US commercial fodder. Also had a Taurus CT9 which was pretty nifty but they never imported any spare magazines for them, although if you were persistent, you could modify Colt or Uzi sticks to work. My buddy wound up with that one and he loves it.

Both my AR 9s run like champs and my kids really enjoy them too. :thumbup:
 
On a dedicated PC lower, they hold the ejector in place, like this-

Magwell conversion units have an integral ejector-

OMG! Funny! Thanks. My current 9 is via Stern. And it works very well. The pic info states that Glock is the mag. This is highly my preference. At first my Wife thought this thing was just gonna chew up way too much ammo. Then she starts shooting it. Next thing she did was go to Berry's and ordered 2K of RN 147's. I think she changed her mind!
 
I had an Uzi Model A , with the active 16" barrel I bought from a soldier at the old Fort Ord, face to face when it was legal in early 80s for a princely sum of $400 with 5 magazines. I traded that Uzi for a as new HK 94 collapsible , with 16" barrel from another military fellow in 90 to complete my HK collection I actively campaigned in the 80s of 91 and 93 models and go with the new Glock 17 I had just bought. I sold the HK 94 just weeks before the 1999 Ca. Assault rifle registration for $3000 and registered the Calico 900 with a 100 round mag and four 50s along with a bunch of other "assault rifles" . That effectively grandfathered in the "hi capacity" mags too. A least it did, as Ca. govt. welches on it's side of deals.
Anyway I thought the Calico was a fun little toy, the sights crude but real easy to adjust in a shooting session and work ok to 50 yards. I used to shoot dirt cheap foreign ammo in it but found out quickly for some reason the action get very dirty in a few hundred rounds and you must scrub it CLEAN and lube with attention to the bolt rollers ect. Then you were golden and it happily eats all ball ammo , It will eat some rounded profile hollow poins, but who can afford to feed it 50+ round boxes of that ? I actually like the Calico above the Ruger , if I could SBR it and screw on a can I'd be real happy. But it is my truck gun as is , replacing the Marlin 1894 .357 after my thumb fell off in a "lever acrtion carbine class" I took in early 2000s :)
The Ruger PCC Charger is very kewl beans and of course I use Glock mags in it. Very reliable and very easy to keep clean and very compact and accurate with the Vortex Spitfire I put on it . It soon will be a host for the Ecco Machine Phoenix IV that is in waiting period. I found out there is PCC only Practical events now locally !

What lube do you like? and thanks for the read!
 
Synthetic Slip 2000 Grease on rubbing surfaces and Balistol on all internal small parts and carriers ect. I use that formula on everything that shoots !

During hi volume training sessions with ARs I used to carry a small squeeze bottle of Marvel Mystery oil to duoce the bolt carrier. It is a bit messy for a few shots but kept them perking .

Thanks. Shoud'a asked first, but where do you like to purchase these?
 
LGS .. Local Gun Store (s)
The internet it is! Where I live there is no such thing as a LGS. But I really like the idea! So kidding aside, I was at our LGS - the only one within 70 miles - and the owner was telling me how Glock doesn't warrant their barrels if you re-load. Come to find out that he's a retired military to a retired Sheriff to the owner of this LGS. The story was that he shot a squib and followed it with another which blew the barrel. He then went to Glock for a warranty issue. I'd never have thought that a guy with this much background would have even tried to make a claim much less tell people this story. Now I just kinda stay away.
 
the gun cleaning products are not limited to the stores that sell guns. The places that sell "sporting goods" have non fire arm gun products usually.. But internet is good, neither product I mentioned are hazmat
 
Nice looking receiver set! I had one that had a side charge handle, also used MP5 mags. The mags look way better then Glock mags, but man we’re they spendy!! Now they came out with a curved Glock mag for PCCs so they look better.

Didn't build a PCC but I bought one instead.

PSA has a Ar9 that uses Scorpion mags. The model is Ar-v 9mm. It has a lot of cool features. Like a paddle mag release on the trigger guard. I added a charging handle, red dot and a flat Timney 3lbs trigger.

PSA scorpion mags hold 35 rounds and are about $15.00. This thing looks allot better then models that use Glock mags.
