I have a complete lower that I have not done anything with for several years. I'm thinking of building an AR 9 from it but know next to nothing about them. I need an upper but some are described as side loaders? I need a recoil spring where the gas piston used to be. I need a mag block adapter and with that choose what mags to use And I see some discussion about ejector and last shot bolt hold open. [I'm also going to build featureless for use in CA But I think I have that sorted].
What am I missing? What do I need to know about the mag block and mag type. Are the Glock style mags better , more reliable, or cheaper? or is Colt style mags the way to go?
This is going to be a 16" rifle. A range toy, and a gun my wife could shoot, If she wanted. I also want to try some type of Red Dot sight. Having never used one would you go with a reflex sight or a optic type?
Thanks in advance for any help, DR
