Much better option even if it is a little more expensive! Freedom is NOT free!Believe me I am the same. I like cheap and easy. When I first saw these Extar and then saw some reviews, I wanted one. Price was great and they just work. If I could have gotten one I doubt I would have even bothered to learn how to make my own. Of course now that I can make my own, and it's so damn fun, I have all kinds of stuff I want to spend money on.
Believe me Primary Arms is finding a lot of my money these days
They have some great stuff and shockingly great shipping speed. It's almost like Amazon sells this stuff getting it from them Pretty good price for that lower, so I ordered one. I've been researching them recently and found some reports that it doesn't like the Korean 33? round magazines. Just fyi.Here is an example to get the main 3 components at close to $300. If you can pull off an upper, lower parts build kit, and forend for $200ish, total will be close to $500.
No problem, I'm really good at spending other people's money on NWFA!

Whichever you pick I if you want to shoot flat nose make sure it has a feed ramp. The one I have for sale is picky about hollow points. Critical duty from Hornady runs like a top. But some of the wide nose bullets had some failures to feed.Seems like the options are expanding.
Their stuff is great and totally catered to competition. I would go on record saying their NIBX bolt is the best 9mm bolt out there. Super slick, full sized AR15 extractor, amazingly reliable, and it just wipes clean.Taccom gets all my money now (at least for the upper, bolt, barrel and recoil system)....YMMV

Sure looks nice!! As soon as you lay hands on one of these, no matter which one, you should enjoy it a LOT!
This brings up a good Point. When I bought my first 9mm AR upper the barrel that came with it has a feed ramp. When I bought the first Pistol upper (FM) it did not. I was wondering about it. So far it's been great but I have not tried any SMC type ammo. Was wondering if any have tried putting a feed ramp on one? Sure seemed to me like they would have to be "better" with one although almost all the barrels I am seeing for sale for 9mm in pistol length come without one.
If I am not planning on a self defense gun or comp gun I wouldn't care. It is something to think about for sure though.
