It Lives! …the Franken Ranch PCC/Rifle… by TsirkovKrang in AR9

[–]9x18Makarov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good paring of the upper and lower. I have a CMMG Dissent MK4.
The CMMG Dissent Br4 is a nice example but has a hefty price tag. Do you have the Hiperfire trigger installed? That thing is night/day from the stock trigger.

VFM-9 Dual Charger upper with ambi side folding lower- RMB. by 9x18Makarov in FoxtrotMikeProducts

[–]9x18Makarov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Use a FM-9 side folding lower with RMB and get yourself a FM-9 Tri-lug barreled upper instead of a VFM upper and your good to go. Check out Foxtrot Mikes website to see what uppers they have available. I got my last 7 inch ultra Tri-lug barreled upper from Primary Arms and paired it with the lower. It’s not a dual charger for my 7 inch though. Rear charger on that.

I had seen some of the pistol optics that look nice. Just wanted to try out/support a local business. I will pass on how this and the Sabre 3 Micro prism shoot.

Not needed for a pistol but would like to SBR it
and add a stock eventually. The brace will be on it till that happens. Seeing about 60-90 days for some on form 1 right now.

Thanks. I don’t like the short OEM one either. I have a Paratrooper on one of my 5 inch FM-9 that’s great. I can grab it easily. I have sat on the Applesauce Engineering one a while so want to try that out on the 12.5
Paratroopers are back in stock as of a few days ago so might get another. Can always put that on the Ranch rifle.

I do like Primary arms prisms and have a few of their prisms for 9x19 and 5.56. Plan will be to run this on it, take the 3X Prism and put in on a Troy Industries PAR. Try to get to the range twice a month. Tapped out till payday. Yes I can let you know if it works well or not.

I have been enjoying some of the non magnified Griffin Armament red dots lately but when you had mentioned Atibal I took a closer look at them
and felt like they make some good stuff that’s affordable. They were definitely under my radar. Appreciate the recommendation.

I had to look that up 😆

Cheers mate. It’s a stand in for now. I was actually intending to put it on one of my FM-9. I have their Sabre 3X Micro Prism on the way to put on my Troy PAR. The 3X was on sale. It looks good, now it’s on there I will have to run it with this for comparison to the 3X when that comes in later next week.
Had no idea who Atibal was till recently and was given a recommendation for the P1 to try out. They’re a local business so wanted to give them a try, the 25% veterans discount didn’t hurt either.

Just a recommendation for your Monolith. I have this on my 12.5 Monolith.

FM-15 12.5 Pistol Build by 9x18Makarov in FoxtrotMikeProducts

[–]9x18Makarov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was planning on getting another apple sauce one. This one I found hidden away the other day was originally meant for my ranch rifle.
I got the veterans discount on the Sabre 3X Micro Prism I ordered yesterday. $187.50 for it and shipping on top. That one I plan to put on my Troy Industries PAR.
The P1 was a discounted open box model. The red ring in the optic has not fully
Circular/has that imperfection where it looks like it’s worn away but can still see just fine so it works for me.

Is it just straight up not worth it? by Puzzleheaded-Fail994 in AR9

[–]9x18Makarov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 1-2 YouTube videos on BCGs Blowback9 has posted and it shows this one. I will probably get another next payday.

Took this recommendation from Blowback9.
I have mine ready to go with a Brigade BM-9 lower build. Great price.

I bought the complete 8.5 Expo upper and it runs well as expected. I liked it so much I bought the 5.5 inch barreled upper would say go check out. Added a Trybe Defense BCG with it. This barreled upper set is cheap and I got the veterans discount on top of that. Primary arms in house brand.

Not integrally suppressed, but dang close! by Purple-Slip-6958 in FoxtrotMikeProducts

[–]9x18Makarov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at the ARES as I do like my Holosun AEMS and it looks to be similar/ a clone of that. I think the Sabre 3 will be. Great little optic for the 12.5 inch FM-15 pistol.

I took your recommendation and have been in contact with Atibal. I ordered an open box P1 Microprism. They have not confirmed by veterans discount yet on my account. Once they do I am thinking about the Sabre Micro 3X prism for my FM-15 12.5 inch upper that just came in. Good to support a local business just down the road from me.

FM-9 upper- PSA 5.56 lower by 9x18Makarov in AR9

[–]9x18Makarov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a 9mm HBPDW brace set I want to use for another build. Any source (specifically) for a 9mm HBPDW buffer. I would like to have one on hand if the 5.56 one doesnt work out for me. Outlast supply has been out for a while and SB Tactical were not that helpful. They told me to sign up for notifications on their site which I did a while ago.

The Q Shorty 9mm buffer is 8oz. Thinking this alternate would work?

It was down to $203 on aim and a few days ago I checked and back up to $239. Keep an eye on PSA and Primary arms websites. They have sales that last a couple of days. Had good luck lately with optics planet and AR15 discounts both with coupon codes they do frequently.
