Slickside AR9 build

Heck yea! That is a deal on that gun. I like the looks and features of the FX9.


Unfortunately this is as cool as my little Sub2K will ever look. Wanted to keep it light, simple and discreet. I will get some packing foam for the inside of the laptop case.

With transfer fees and everything I’m at $582, but it won’t fold up in a laptop case….

I’ll check and see if the barrels are standard ar type once I get it, and maybe I’ll sbr it later… or maybe just buy another…

I’m anticipating really liking it….

Damn.  Your last post post got me to adding up what I have spent on my "cheap" PCC ensemble: Gun w/ shipping and tax $373; FFL fee $25; optic and QD mount w/shipping and tax $332; two-33 round Glock mags w/ shipping and tax $332 - total $794.  Still a little less than I spent on the wife's new iPad for Xmas, so I guess that makes me an ok husband 😆😇  (I just won't mention the like new Ruger Mark IV (and accessories) I also picked up during the process ...) As one of our fellows is prone to say, whatta hobby!

You are doing the math wrongly…

 

I'm not counting the red dot I have had for 7 years but I am counting the battery that I changed out 2 years ago even though the old battery was still working..

 

$2

I'm not counting the $400 Glock 17 I got to go with the ar9 because I traded away two cz’s to get my scandium 1911… two pistols in, two pistols out…

I’m not counting the plethora of Glock magazines I just got because I already had a bunch, and the ones I just got were 20% off. 
 

I'm not counting the molle gear I had to buy because I already had some but don’t like the usgi vest pos thing I bought last year and a replacement was in order. 
 

I should probably get either a Glock 19, 34, or a 17L to go with the fx9, so I need to figure out how that will cost little to nothing. 
 

so so far my additional expenses are only $2

 

the ret dot is 50,000 hour so I could spend another $2 preemptively….

 

plus ammo…

Aww fornicate…

 

the FX9 is overall pretty awesome, but it has that M-lok handguard thing. 
 

I have some modern accessories so I need to figure out if what I have fits it…

I already put an xm177 type stock on it, the one it came with was quite nice but too ergonomic for me. 
 

I have a primary arms red dot, a magpul front sight and the air force rear sight on it so far. 
 

I fed the beachin sling through the m-lok slots on the handguard. 
 

I have a hand stop I would like to use but I need to add a rail section. 
 

it came with one of those clear “glock” magazines and it doesn’t instill confidence.

I did have one m lok rail and a bunch of I think magpul rails. 
 

I slapped a few on there along with a vert grip

put a cut down a1 grip too.

I’m not familiar with the different types of cheesegrater mounting systems  

but all I had to do with the magpul moe mounts is hold a plate in place while I tightened the rail section down  the m lok you just turn the screw 90 degrees and it’s done
