**NOTE – 1. Please read the FAQ below regarding adjustment of your ejector before use and ensure you re-assemble with Loctite or similar threadlocker to prevent screws from backing out over time. 2. If using this lower for a .40cal build, remove the included buffer spacer prior to assembly/use.
FAQ:
QUESTION: Do I need to adjust my ejector?
ANSWER: Yes, before firing your new pistol caliber lower we suggest you adjust your ejector. Loosen the two screws holding the ejector in to where it becomes a semi-tight friction fit. Ensure the ejector is seated all the way to the rear and all the way down in the pocket. Close your upper onto the lower with the bolt all the way forward. SLOWLY cycle the bolt in and out about 1/4 of the way back a few times then let the bolt close all the way and tighten the ejector screws. They are cupped to get a good grab on the SS ejector, so only hand tight or you risk the chance of bending the ejector over. Any slight rubbing at this point will wear in the ejector after a few magazines are cycled through the gun. If you see excessive rubbing you can also file down the top corner on theleft side of the ejector(shooters left). At this point you should remove one screw at a time without disturbing the ejector location and add locktite to the screws and tighten them back down. This will ensure the screws will not back out over time.
QUESTION: What type of magazines will fit in this lower?
ANSWER: The lower was designed to fit and drop free factory Glock small frame pistol magazines. It has also been thoroughly tested with Magpul GL17 9mm pistol magazines to fit and drop free. Although it accepts and shoots other aftermarket magazines (Promag, KCI, Kahn, etc) some slight modification may be needed to get them to drop free from this lower because of the varying width measurement we have seen when checking these magazines to Glock factory specifications.
QUESTION: Do you offer a reliable last round / empty magazine bolt hold open (LRBHO) System for this lower?
ANSWER: YES --After watching several companies try and fail to incorporate a RELIABLE last round bolt hold open (LRBHO) system into their lower receivers we decided to take a different approach and will be incorporating our LRBHO technology (PATENT PENDING) in our matching upper receivers. After rigorous testing and hundreds of hours of research and development we feel that this is the best option for LRBHO on a Glock magazine AR style firearm. Ourupper will be compatible with other manufacturers lower receiver that either don't have a LRBHO or you can scrap the non-working LRBHO out of your existing AR-9 Glock Mag lower and solve the issue of not having a 100% functioning LRBHO. For more information on our matching AR-9 Upper.
QUESTION: What bolt carrier group will work with a Glock magazine fed AR-9?
ANSWER: You will need an AR-9 Bolt Carrier Group that has relief cuts to clear the Glock style magazines. The AR-9 BCG that we sell (CLICK HERE for AR-9 BCG) will work in both Glock style AR-9s as well as traditional Colt style AR-9s. We can also modify your Colt style AR-9 BCG for you to work properly with both systems.
QUESTION: Do I need to use a special buffer when I build my AR-9?
ANSWER: Although its not technically required, it is advised that you either use a 9mm buffer (longer and heavier than carbine) or a spacer in your buffer tube before you place your spring in. The reason for this is to limit the BCG travel to the rear so it doesn't come back forward and smash the bolt catch hard enough to break it. The 9mm BCG is shorter than a standard BCG. You can use a carbine buffer with a spacer or simply stack between $1.25 - $1.75 of quarters in your buffer tube.

Complete C-9 Lower -- B5 MILSPEC Stock
Seems to be a well built lower. I'm waiting for an AR40 complete upper (or all the parts) to come available!
-
I only have about 100 rounds (CCI 115gr 'loose bulk') through this lower since I purchased it, but so far no issues whatsoever. I built my carbine using all New Frontier parts. The trigger is very much a stock mil-spec trigger (heavy with quite a bit of creep) so its not a match trigger but does the job just fine and can be easily upgraded later. The adjustable stock has a very tight fit to the buffer tube. Not so tight that its hard to use, but it is noticeable. On the plus side, that does take out all the stock slop. I also really liked the adjustable set screw (right behind the grip bolt hole, accessable with the grip off) used to tighten the upper to lower fit, great system and is totally user adjustable to remove any upper to lower slop. I have only used factory Glock 17 magazines, but everything feeds, functions, and ejects just fine. Would recommend!
