I finally dug out it the safe and took a photo. Not a very good one though.

Awesome! Thank you so much.

I want to order the 5-pack with jig special...

My second stamp for my SBR came through today and I FINALLY can call my 9mm build "complete" (until I decide to change something).

http://i.imgur.com/aOuwBCI.jpg

SBR lower:
"Critical Capabilities" branded Billet lower with bolt catch screw to allow mag block removal
ALG ACT Trigger
MOE Grip
Magpul CTR stock

9mm Upper:
Aero Precision upper receiver w/o forward assist
Quarter Circle 10 5.5" 1/2x28 threaded 9mm barrel
Semi-generic 7.5" quad rail pilfered off of a Karri's Guns pistol upper
PSA 9mm Colt-style BCG
UTG Red/Green dot 1x optic
Rousch Sports Ambidextrous charging handle

Silencer:
AAC Ti-Rant 45 with 9mm (1/2x28) piston and fixed barrel spacer

Misc:
PSA AR 9mm Magazine Insert
Metalform-manufactured 32 round magazines which I acquired in 2013 in anticipation of building an AR 9mm someday

You running a spacer in the tube, instead of the spring / booster? if not, do some reading as a pistol can has the potential to distort the threads on carbine bbls.

here's a semi reliable vid from a guy who did his own spacer. I used a section off a broken 1" scope tube. Once i remember where i read the info from solid sources i'll post it, maybe ;) Like the silencerco spacer i milled relief cuts in mine. YHM has cuts in their unit, I'm running a YHM why not.

Yeah, I have the "official" AAC fixed barrel spacer in there when it's on the AR. For $20 I figured it was a small chunk of change to ensure they couldn't say I voided the warranty in the event of a baffle strike and had rigged up my own spacer. [panic]

Groovy. I turned mine down on the lathe. Being able to square up some stock is piece of mind. Figured with 3 F1 cans completed, why not with the spacer. It's a nicely done carbine. 147's down the pipe are impressive. IF i didn't value my gun rights, i'f let some off in the area. PESKY DISCHARGING FIREARM In CITY LIMITS LAWS.

Went to pick up a buffer tube detent and spring, just few bucks at Bowers Tactical..... Ended up over a few bucks with an H2 buffer/spring which was better suited, AP nickel boron BCG, some 22lr for my M&P 15-22, then decided to go ahead and pick up the AP lower..... once background check was done, decided to swap out the PSA lower for the Spikes Tactical, keeping the PSA as I don't know what in the future. And then while the lower swap over was being done, grabbed an enhanced aluminum trigger guard.

I work close to this shop and this is why I try to avoid the place at all costs.....
