they can be fun. a friend has a non-sbr 9mm. it is built on a CMMG lower. we have had some problems with it breaking the buffer retention pin on the buffer tube (has broke 3 now). he is using a really heavy buffer and mainly shoots 147gr subs from it.

I have an 8" build that I am expecting to be be approved on any day now, today has been 24 days since I e-filed.
I used an CMMG dedicated lower, Ranier arms upper without a forward assist, CMMG ramped bolt, a POF Px4 rail, Ranier Arms mini comp I drilled out. I can not remember the maker of the barrel. I got it from another member and researched it at the time. It shoots great. Do NOT try using RRA bolt with a CMMG lower. The bolt stop in the CMMG is sturdier and slightly taller than what RRA uses. I found this out the hard way. I suppose a RRA ramped bolt might work but I have not tried. You can use Uzi mags with a mag catch hole cut in. The 32 rounders can be had for $10. |

Forgot to ask...
Are you aware of the $200 rebate deal on the $300 9mm suppressor?

I have one ddles glock lower, s&w upper no fa, fortis rev rail, cmmg bolt narrowed for the glock mag, spikes buffer. Unknown barrel came off the EE here. Only a couple hundred rounds through it but runs great. If my evo9 could get bail I'd be really happy

I just built one. I didn't want a dedicated lower at the time but I kinda do now and I think this may be the the best choice. http://www.qcircle10.com/

I had a cmmg 9mm marked sbr lower for a while. It had a dedicated Hahn block in it and ran well with both a 5" TROS Barrelled upper and a RRA factory 10.5 pistol upper. With the 5" TROS, it was very compact, but the 10"-11.5" guns in any AR are my favorites for overall feel/balance. I'll see if I can find some older pics.
If doing one again, the circle 10 looks great so far.. 
Same two cmmg sbr lowers with a 5.56 upper on top and a 10.5" RRA 9mm upper on the bottom gun. 
Same gun, different optics and firearms grip

Two people in a row mentioned them, What makes them the choice over all the other brands???? They took over the design from the now closed DDLES company. People are gaga over them because they make small magwell lowers and they make a model that accepts Glock mags. Personally, I don't see the value when they cost just shy of $300 for a stripped lower. For that money you can get a complete CMMG with tube, buffer, and stock. Just the other day I saw that center fire systems has stripped dedicated 9mm lowers branded GPI in the $140 range. So the circle 10 is a hefty premium for a certain look. I guess it is slightly more justifiable if you have a pile of Glock mags already and want to be able to use the same mags between pistol and rifle. |

Also it seems that most SMG cans are only QD cans and not screw on. |

Does your DDLES have the LRBHO feature? Not a deal breaker, but the new QC10 come with and without and I'm curious how they work. |

they can be fun. a friend has a non-sbr 9mm. it is built on a CMMG lower. we have had some problems with it breaking the buffer retention pin on the buffer tube (has broke 3 now). he is using a really heavy buffer and mainly shoots 147gr subs from it. It sounds like the hole for the buffer retaining pin is drilled to far to the rear. When the carbine is assembled the carrier should cause the buffer to be under slight pressure removing ALL pressure from the retaining pin. One indicator is the buffer developing marks on it. It can also be from the carrier being too short.

I built up two, one for me and one for a friend. Mine never really hit the reliable stage so I ended up getting rid of it. My buddy's has never failed him (although it did launch part of his Multimount downrange). I may look into the QC10 offering though since I have a lot of 9mm Glocks.

This is one I built a few years ago. RR upper, TROS 3-lug, YHM rail (I think), it seemed to fit the trident nicely. After I got my MP-5 I decided I hated dealing with the mag block. I think the dedicated lower is the way to go. Mine was incredibly sensitive to the adjustment of that mag block. I've been thinking about listing on EE as it hasn't been shot in years.... |

Here's mine...I only took it out once for about 20 rounds and had issues with it stove piping spent brass. People in the pistol caliber forum thought it was probably due to the [shitty] c products mags I was using so I bought some good metalform mags and never took it back out, and that was a loooong time ago.
 damn lack of time.
Eta...I did swap in the buffer and spring from a colt ar I was shooting and I had the same result...so I don't think the heavy buffer or spring was at fault - now I need to take it out again
