Need help building a 9mm AR

[BlakeJ]

I know a lot of you guys have built 9mm ARs for your cans, and I was wondering if you gurus could help me with a parts list for one that I wanna put together. I've put together numerous ARs but never a 9mm.

The can I'm going to be running is a tirant45. I'm going to SBR it, with probably a 5" (give or take) barrel. I would like the handguard to cover up at least half of the can. I really wanna run a MVB ARC stock (or something similar). I also want a dedicated 9mm lower, with the small mag well. If possible I would like to run the curved mags, but it's not a deal breaker.

I'd like to save money on parts where I can, but not sacrifice reliability.

Any help is appreciated!

I did a cheap build (colt pattern) just to test it out and I have fallen in love:

Ballistic Advantage 5.5" 9mm barrel
HK Tri-lug adapter from HK Parts (can is a tirant 9)
CMMG Bolt carrier - you can use it with any AR trigger
CMMG Ejection Port Cover Kit, with Gas Deflector
Rainier slick side upper reciver
Crappy rail from ebay for testing that is getting replaced by a URX 4
Hahn bottom loading mag block for colt mags - makes any lower compatable as I switch it between a pistol and SBR lower
Spikes ST-9X heavy 9mm buffer
Wolff extra power spring
I run Metalform mags and have never had a hickup - get the ones from PSA as they are half the price and the exact same mags

The Lower Receiver- (Depends if you want to use Colt style 9mm magazines or Glock magazines.)

Colt Mags Lower- CMMG, https://www.cmmginc.com/shop/lower-rece ... m-mk9-smg/

Glock Mags Lower- Quarter Circle Ten, https://www.quartercircle10.com/product ... ame-lower/ (Buts needs a bolt with a special Glock cut on it for the Glock Mags)

Bolts-
JP 9mm bolt, https://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPBC-9MMA (Compatibly with both Colt style, and Glock style Lower Receivers and is ramped so you can use a mil spec LPK with a mill spec hammer.
CMMG makes a good ramped bolt too but doesn't have the Glock cut on it so it is only compatibly with the Colt Mags.

Buffers- (need a special buffer for 9mm)
Heavy Buffers, http://heavybuffers.com/9q.html
JP Enterprise, https://www.jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPSCS2-9M

Handguards-
Midwest Industries, https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/in ... ry_ID=2519
YHM, http://yhm.net/accessories/forearms/slk-handguards.html

Both have anuff room for a suppressor under the handguard there are some other but can t think of them right know.

I would also go to AR15.com and look under the pistol builds in the forum a lot of good info hoped this helped Cheers.
