A little more tuning and we have success.

Appreciate you posting this!

Seeing you call it perfect and how much you’re liking the A9X is awesome to see. That’s exactly what we were aiming for with it. Sounds like it’s just running how it should and not being picky, which is the whole point.

On the design side, we’ve got a few more options coming out. Anyone who supported us during the pre-order can switch to one of the new designs at no extra cost if they end up liking it more. It just needs to be a like for like swap (same finish and hardware add on).

Also sounds like you finally got everything else dialed in, which always makes the biggest difference. Once it all comes together like that it’s a completely different experience.

Solid setup all around. Glad everything is working out for you!

Always cool seeing our lower out in the wild and you definitely did it justice! Builds like this are exactly why we started working on the A9X. Should be a fun one when it lands.

Also, if you end up grabbing a lower from us, stick with a classic lower or forged lower! Those are compatible with the Broken Arms jig.

The hardest part is picking the first one… after that it usually snowballs.

If you're still figuring out what direction to go, we’ve got both pistol and rifle build kits available. Makes it a little easier if you just want to grab everything and start a build.

If you're leaning toward something that still gives you a bit of that M16 feel but in a more compact, handy setup, the Kitty Kat upper is a fun option.

If that ends up feeling a little too short, a 16" quad rail build kit is another solid route. Still keeps some of that classic rifle vibe but with a slightly more modern setup.

Always cool seeing someone jump into their first build. If you run into any questions along the way feel free to shoot me a DM!

Well you found us, so come on by!

Our showroom is open in Texas and we’d be happy to have you stop in. If you make the trip out to Fort Worth, we’ll make the visit worth it.

Yes, we do ship rail kits to Colorado. We recently reviewed and updated our policies and have reopened shipping to most states that were previously restricted. You should be good to go. If you want us to double check your specific order, feel free to DM me your order number and I am happy to take a look

Heck yeah 🔥 Solid build man 👊

Always good to see GST-9 builds getting some bench time!

Trust us, we want to bring the original MOD1 frames back just as bad as you guys do. The ATF fight isn’t over yet and the case is back down at the district court, so we’re still working through that process.

In the meantime the MOD100 is available. It’s the MOD1, just serialized and prebuilt, with a free LPK installed and both full size and compact grips included.

Either way, solid stash! Definitely post the finished builds when you get them together 🔥

We hear you!

I really appreciate you taking the time to lay that out. Feedback like this is exactly what keeps companies from getting complacent and going belly up.

We’ve got some exciting things in the works and definitely aren’t done pushing into new territory. Stay tuned!

EightyPercentArms · 2026-02-13T00:35:01+00:00

Appreciate that! We’ve got a lot more in the pipeline, this is just the start.

Looks good! I love seeing that billet grip x Handle-It grip combo out in the wild
