| I bet I can get an answer here before Model 1 gets back to me. Their 9mm CAR kits; do they come with the magazine block? Or do I have to buy it additionally. The kits look good but If I have to buy a magazine block then they seem a little expensive. Or am I being cheap?. Anyone built one of these? Thanks. |

You could like, ask Model 1...
Their site isn't too helpful; none of their 9mm kits indicate whether or not they include a magazine block. But this is one of those issues that the vendor needs to understand-their web pages make it hard for some people to purchase from them because they don't provide enough/correct info. |
| I await the answer eagerly. This is quite interesting; as far as I know, Model 1 sells what is essentially a Rock River block (that's what the picture on their site is of). Getting a complete kit including the block means you just get the lower receiver-as little as $90 for a quality part-and you're on your way for $800 and very little wait time. Otherwise the total gets a lot closer to $950, depending on whether you get your block from M1S or someone else. |

ADCO has 9mm RRA uppers in stock right now and most of the other parts to make up a similar kit to the one at M1S.
You can get RRA flat top upper complete, RRA block, 9mm buffer, RRA 6 pos stock, and RRA LPK for ~$790 delivered - just add a lower. If the kit from M1S is actually COMPLETE except for the lower, it would be $735 plus shipping with a 6 pos stock - if they get you for $20 or so shipping it isn't that much cheaper than just buying from ADCO, or even sourcing some parts from a few places. You could get the RRA flat top complete upper from Brownells for just at or under $450 delivered with the shot show discount - about $180 for their RRA block and buffer, $70 for a 6 pos stock, and $55 for an LPK - total would be about $755 delivered and they have everything in stock right now (forgot to add that it would be even less than that for those with LE/Mil/dealer discount   ).
