Looking for 9mm AR upper or barrel with front sight base

[User 1234]

I might build an AR pistol with a 10.5 barrel and (retro, A frame) pinned front sight base. I can find plenty in stock in 5.56 but none in 9mm under $700. Does anyone know of a source? My searches online find only out of stock or $800 options. I could always stick a removable carry handle on a flat top upper.

it's a full kit minus the lower, but well under $700 budget.

If you want the plastic handguard you can just buy one and click it on there since it has a delta ring.

The Daytona one looks like a good option for 5.56 but I'm focused on a 9mm. I'll consider the one in that add. I also saw that Ballistic Advantage has an option for them to pin the FSB to their 9mm barrel before they ship it.

One issue you'll run into is that not many 9mm barrels have a gas block journal, as they don't use a gas block. Just something to be aware of.

Now the BA website is down, Murphy's Law. Maybe I should ask them for a Shot Show pass to go pick one up.

I have a PSA 16" 9mm upper I would let go of. It came with the FSB but was removed for a free floating handguard. I still have the FSB and could be reinstalled. It's not 10.5 but I just picked up a scorpion evo3 so I won't be shooting that one much. PM if interested.

I'm really looking for a pistol length with the FSB already pinned, but thanks.

It looks like BA's website is back up.

It looks like the 11" barrel is what you're looking for, and will be close in length to a 10.5" 5.56 barrel.
