2nd AR Build

[alistair]

Okay, so I finished my first AR build at the weekend, and I must admit that I have dome more time researching my potential second build that I have shooting the first.

I'm thinking of buying a 9mm upper and using an EndoMag 9mm magazine. Anyone have experience using one of these conversion magazines?

EndoMag™ 9MM (Restrictive States) | Mean Arms

Lol. Just like potato chips. Can’t have just one... I saw those went I went about my 9mm, but went a different way. I’m in to hear if anyone has experience with it.

I don't know about those mags but I can tell you this- go featureless for the build. Top loading 9mm is a non-starter even for a range toy, imho.

For now I'm planning to just buy, or assemble, a 9mm upper and attach it to my existing featureless AR15 lower.

Your third, fourth and fifth build will be soon after this one. You will find that you will want a 16", a 20", and a 24" barrel for different scenarios. Then you will want different style hand guards with each different barrel length. Then you will want ones with different optics, such as a red dot, high power scope and iron sights. It never ends.

What about 7, 12,and 14.5?

I took a look at some videos on the endo mag, it looks like we could top load that easily? not entirely sure
does that mean we could build a fixed 9mm, with a speed loader?

 

[Marine Cpl]

Doesn't the ejector get in the way for top loading on a magazine that usually requires 2 thumbs when normally loading the magazine?

 

[knuts]

take a look at this. especially around 3:40. kinda like the way you load a standard ar mag.

Working on my fourth and fifth build as we speak. Thought I'd be a one and done and pretty soon...well...they just creep up on you I suppose.

I thought about EndoMag but a few reviews indicated if there is any upward pressure on the magazine (shooting from a prone position), it would interfere with the built-in ejector. Trying to find the video now.

I opted to go with a MAG-ADMP9 instead. I get to use my S&W magazines and not have to buy Glocks
