9mm SBR with integrated suppressor. HELP!!

[E5RANGER375]

phylodog, that thing is AWESOME!!!! what kind of rail is that? looks like a voltor cut down?

Thats the one I want!!! sorry to be a copy cat, but I like your style man!!!

nice touch with the sites too!!

Some pretty good info here...

 

[phylodog]

The rail on mine was made by POF. With the sights and raised rail on the receiver it kind of resembles the H&K. You won't hurt my feelings putting one together like it, there are very few unique AR rifles out there.

I don't feel so bad about lusting after your AR Phylo, since you are giving permission out to copy it...

Is that Polished or Duracoated by the way?!

I have decided to go with a 7.5" barrel with a 7" rail. I like being able to have the ability to shoot without always having a suppressor on it. incase i ever have to have the suppressor replaced or send back for maintenance etc. I looked long term and dont wanna be without the practical use of my SBR for that time.

Id really like to have a spikes, or an ARMS 7" rail.

Don't forget about the possibility of having a fake suppressor you can screw on if you need to send the suppressor off etc. That is how my AR22 is set up. The handguards are longer than the barrel and I just have a fake suppressor I can screw on it. Fake suppressors are cheap ($20-40 normally).

What kind of fake suppressor do you have? Where can I get one?

If your starting from scratch and are building a dedicated 9mm AR SBR, I recommend the following.

1) Use a dedicated 9mm AR lower, CMMG makes one. Or, use a "regular" AR lower and use a Hahn mag-block.

2) Barrel length can be any lenght you desire, but I suggest no shorter than 5".

3) Decide how you want the suppressor to attach to the barrel, ie: thread on--H&K 3-lug type--"other". (This will come into play when choosing your suppressor.)

4) Are you wanting a suppressor that can be used on other hosts, like on your pistol? (Again, this will help determine what suppressor to buy.)

5) Use the heaviest buffer and spring weight you can find. (I use a custom job made by a guy on Ohio. It is stainless steel, weighs a little more than 9oz and is also a little longer than a regular buffer to limit bolt travel.

6) Buy a "ramped" bolt, or have a regular bolt ramped. This mimics the ramp on a 5.56 bolt and reduces FCG wear.

7) Use a rounded hammer, DO NOT use a notched hammer.

8) If your wanting the "SD" look, meaning the suppressor is encompassed by the forearm, do your research. Some of the popular forearms don't have an inside diameter big enough to "swallow" some suppressors due to their given outside diameter.

Other than the above, everything else is basic AR 101.

Old pic of my 9mm AR SBR. It doesn't look like this anymore. (Different optic and buttstock.)

Barrel length is 5" and the suppressor is a SWR trident 9. (Correction: My barrel is a 5.5" TROS 3-lug.)

It is due for a rebuild.

What is the price tag of a similar 9mm like yours, including taxes/registration fees?
How much less would it be with no silencer or shot barrel?

well the tax to SBR is $200 and the tax for a suppressor is $200. so if you went with an unsuppressed 16" barrel you would save $400 off the bat.

 

[Revopop]

Does anybody know where I can get a short (like maybe 5") 9mm AR barrel with threads? The TROS barrels are all 3 lug as far as I can tell.

+ the cost of the suppressor, which is most likely at least another $400.

Spikes tactical will make you one, or if you get a full size barrel I can cut it down and thread it for you. PM me.

ADCO has 5" and 7" barrels, $155+shipping.

I have never added up the total cost.

It's gonna be a while before I start building, but when the time comes I'll definitely keep you in mind.

#1 rule for building an SBR: never, ever add up the full cost.
