My 9mm SBR buildup

[Guest VolDaddy]

Spikes Tactical lower regestered SBR

Spikes Tactical 9mm upper

Vector 9mm UZI supressor

Colt 9mm barrel cut down to 4 1/2 inches recrowned, Uzi threads added

Colt ramped 9mm bolt

Colt 9mm buffer

Spike's Tactical 9mm Buffer Spacer

V. M. Hy Tech magwell adapter

Magpul CTR stock

Hogue grip and handguard

Magpul winter fingerguard

I ran into two problems with this build. The first was the old stock Colt barrel. It had a short coller on it and required a coller spacer. First I had to cut the spacer to get it over the UZI threades. The second problem was the VM magwell adapter botteming out aginst the upper reciever. I had to use the Dremmel to remove some material from the inside of the upper reciever.

Once I ironed out thes problems, the old girl throws 147 grain subsonics like there is no tomorrow. Over all Im quite happy how it turmed out and the Vector can is stupid quiet.

What is the overall length with the can on it?

[Guest Drewsett]

What's the ETS, Inc. stamp on the reciever? I assume it's your initials or the like?

[Guest VolDaddy]

ETS is for the now defunct person/company that regestered it as a SBR. Overall lenght is 29", 32" with stock extended.

[Guest Drewsett]

did you have to pay for 2 200$ tax stamps? One for the reciever and one for the supressor?

[Ropin4gold]

That is Sweeet

[Guest VolDaddy]

did you have to pay for 2 200$ tax stamps? One for the reciever and one for the supressor?

This is correct. Two stamps. $400.00

[Guest Drewsett]

Well, the long and the short of it is you have more money than I do and can spend it on cooler toys. You win, sir. Good game

[kwe45919]

Mind giving a build price minus the $400 for the taxes?? I'd like to compare your build to just purchasing one built....

[Guest VolDaddy]

It all started after the UZI can was gave to me. Well I had to pay for the transfer. Bought the stripped lower for 100 at the gun show. Paid 200 for that transfer. The transfer from hell started to unfold, but thats another story (search older posts by me for answers). Bought the upper from Spikes. Paid 120. It was from their first production run and was considered a blemish. The rest of the items I picked up second hand over on AR15.com in the equipment exchange. It took about 6 months. Colt bolt ramped by m60joe, and colt buffer 150. Uzi magbloc 100. Hogue grip and forearm 40. Colt barel old stock from Numerich parts 125. Barel cut down, recrowned, and UZI threads added by m60joe about 150. Spikes buffer spacer 25. Magpul winter fingerguard 12. Magpul CTR stock gunghow 70. Then I bought a bunch of tools over at Brownells and used my C&R discount. So about 1,000 in the gun and can not counting transfers and about 200 in tools but I plan on building more. Putting together a .22 upper as we speak. I love some of the deals on the EE over on ar15.com. Some folks with more money than sense will buy a bunch of parts. Then they will either change direction on their build or never build. You can get some good deals on never osed or just open box stuff. Thanks to m60joe.com for the custom work, Joe over at Hero Gear for handeling the transfer.

That's nice. I'm pretty interested in doing a 9mm build next year. Let us know if you have any issues with the mag block. What magazines are you using, by the way?

[Guest VolDaddy]

The magblock allows the use of unmodified UZI mags.

[kwe45919]

Wow....interesting and informative little build. Thanks for the info......yet another project to put into my "build book".

[Guest VolDaddy]

The more lead it throws the more I like it.

[Guest VolDaddy]

Just shot it again today and I think its getting quieter?

[Smith]

Looks good. Why not just get an Uzi?

[gotigers]

I have been dreaming of a 9mm AR SBR lately. your build has not helped. It looks like a fun build.

[Doc Huckleberry]

My wife has been telling me for a few years to buy a MG as well as suppressors. I haven't yet but maybe I need to. My biggest problem will be feeding any MG I buy. Even a 22 is going cost me a fortune to feed as often as it would probably get shot.

Your wife WANTS you to buy one and you haven't?? You need to hurry up!

[CCW]

Pure sexiness! I have an SBR in the works also. YHM lower and DPMS Kitty Kat 7.5" upper.

[Guest kdud03]

+1 on the hurry up while your wife is for it!!!!
