9mm SBR

Cool. It's nice to hear there are some more affordable mags that run well.

Definitely!

I had a C Products mag, and it ran ok, but you couldn't load 30 rounds in it.

I like that. It's a shame you did not enjoy it.

I enjoy putting them together a lot more than I actually enjoy shooting them. The only aspect of shooting that I really enjoy much anymore is long range and even that is waning a bit. Shooting coyotes is the only thing I really look forward to.

to go the shortest possible in the AR world you gotta go with an MVB, Troy or NEA stock as of now. You can also get mag locks that do have last round bolt hold open made by Hahn. Between a stock and a block above you could be at $500 already though. So going AR isnt always cheap

The pistol caliber stuff is currently an addiction for me. It may be cheaper to shoot, but, the guns are pricey, and so are the mags. It all adds up.

There is an Uzi SBR in the classifieds for $850 OP. That's about as inexpensive as you can get for a pistol caliber SBR. I think Uzi mags are fairly plentiful and cheaper than most too.

Sig MPX. Plan on sending off the form 1 for mine next month, maybe sooner.

If LWRC made a semi auto version of their 45 CQB rifle that would be awesome, but I'm really enjoying my MPX. Got 7 mags for it, I think I'm okay for a little bit

You can get the ASC mags at Bullpup Armory for $16.99 a piece. Buy 3 or more and it's free shipping.

I just bought a batch from 44mag.com Even with shipping they were about 13.50 a piece.

I don't buy from them on principal.

Bullpup Armory has the ASC 9mm mags on sale right now. Couple dollars off the 10, 20 and 32 round mags. Still buy three and get free shipping. I just ordered 2-20 rnd and 1-32 rnd.

I know the OP said 9 mm, by my .45 Kriss SBR is really fun to shoot, and suppresses very well.

 

[bobzilla]

That's the ONLY SBR I want

 

[JStang314]

I'm about to build one (in .40). I would like to use a Quarter Circle 10 lower but I'll probably use the Joe Bobs Spartan which is actually a New Frontier billet lower because it's about $150 cheaper. New frontier just recently released an upper that is supposed to have a last round bolt hold open feature. It's only about $30 more. These are Glock mag lowers.
I'll be getting the bolt, barrel and buffer from Macon Armory because .40 upper parts are hard to find without paying a lot. I think I have it figured out to 800-850 for the build if I make my own free float handguard. You can do it even cheaper with 9mm. PSA has a decent amount of 9mm uppers and a Glock mag lower now (probably a new frontier also).

My Kriss is probably my least favorite of my SBRs. I had to many issues with it early on, but seems pretty reliable these days. Ever have any issues with yours?

No, none at all. What sort of issues?

I'm in the middle of a 7" glock 9mm angstadt arms upper and lower. Just need rail and optic

I want a UMP .45 clone and an MP7 but since I can't afford one and can't own the other, I'll take a AR SBR in .45

If you want a little more utility for your SBR, at the cost of a bit of mag capacity, you might want to consider SBRing a standard AR lower and buying a .45 DI upper from Macon Armory and one of their HK USC mag adapters. I got one for my M16 and it runs really well with a light buffer. The HK USC mags can be had from Promag with a max capacity of only 20 rounds, but they are fairly cheap. Plus, the direct impingement operation makes it really soft shooting, compared to a blowback.

I just built an AR45 on a QC10 lower/BCG/barrel with all other standard AR parts. I'm in LOVE!

 

[AboveTheBest]

I built a SBR AR9 on a Quarter Circle 10 lower (Glock mags), and it is by far the most enjoyable gun I've ever shot.
The familiar controls of the AR, and the low recoil of the 9mm make it pretty easy to shoot. I'm sure the MPX would fall into a similar category, but they weren't out when I put mine together, and the assembly is all part of the fun.

I strictly shoot open sights on the gun, and about 50% of the time it's suppressed.
I think off-hand with irons is the way to go, and when shooting steel it makes for a fun day at the range.

Whatever you get, you'll enjoy it.

HK has UMP .45 and 9mm mags for about $45. That is the cheapest I've ever seen them. Time to order more.

No, none at all. What sort of issues?

The first round often wouldn't go fully into battery, and the occasional FTE/double feed. Polished the chamber and it seems to have eliminated most of it.
