    Long Time AR Builder, First Time AR9 Builder

    Screenshot of my excel spreadsheet.

    Here is the link for the buffer:

    Do I need a different buffer or spring?

    What would you do differently, or does everything look pretty good?

    The purpose of this build is to be a plinker at the range to go with my 9mm Glocks.

    It may work, but probably not reliably.

    Recommend getting a 9mm buffer

    And 9mm buffer spacer

    Ordered. Thank you.

    Anyone make an affordable 14.5" barrel?

    Will these work in a pistol buffer?

    You don't need both a 9mm buffer and 9mm spacer, the 9mm buffer is longer than a carbine buffer. I would suggest a .308 carbine spring to go along with that 9mm buffer though.

    There are several buffer/spring combinations you can use with a 9mm AR. One I have found that works very well is a Rifle action spring and A5 buffer in a standard RE. The longer A5 buffer is a similar length to the dedicated 9mm options, and the A5H4 I currently am using has been flawless. I have also build one using the KAK extended 9mm buffer, and it has also worked well.

    14.5" or 16" barrel ruins the point of an AR9.

    I'd go with a 16" barrel, as only 15" sticks out past the upper.

    Yeah I was thinking of going with a pistol configuration.
