California AR9 Pistol Thoughts
Looking to build a my first AR (CA compliant AR9 Pistol) and would appreciate any insights or thoughts on the build list before I get started. I'm going with a AR9 to build the fundamentals and have the flexibility to go 556 in the future without having to buy another gun
Mil spec Pistol Lower (SSE)
- Mil spec LPK (no grip or trigger)
- Rise Armament Rave PCC Trigger
- BCM Mod4 or DAC SCG grip
AR Maglock / Kingpin / PAL System + 10rd Endomags ejector style (CA Compliance)
A5 K-SPEC Gentle Recoil System + SBA5 Brace
PSA PA-9 Gen4 10.5" 9mm Complete Upper
-
Barrel Length: 10.5"
-
Muzzle Device: PSA Fluted Flash Can
-
Handguard Type: PSA 12" Lightweight Hex Full Picatinny M-Lok Free Float Rail
-
Bolt Included: Yes, (Gen 4, Hybrid)
-
Charging Handle Included: Yes
Questions -
- Will this work and be CA compliant?
- Will the PSA Upper and a mil spec lower offer a LRBHO?
- I've read that hybrid bcg's can have issues with endomags (hence why PSA cannot guarantee function). Do I need to use a Glock or Colt BCG?
