Can get, but I'd imagine someone else would already have them in stock?
I know this seems self-evident, but you need a 9mm barrel too 
I've actually elected to run a dedicated 9mm lower instead of constantly swapping out the buffer, mag well conversion block, and hammer. That said, if you're on a budget and don't mind pulling out your punch set and allen wrench every time you switch over, it's not a big deal. Five minutes work, if that.
I bought mine from Questar recently, and Mark had everything in stock. He was able to explain everything that was needed, and the installation to the lower was very simple.

If I rememeber right, I think Olympic Arms doesn't require changing out the hammer and buffer. Unfortunately, there is no Canadian distributor so you'll have to get someone like Questar to import it.
Since 9mm requires more than just hot-swapping the upper, I went with a complete rifle.
No matter what you do, if you shoot indoors and your range allows pistol chambered rifles you'll absolutely love the thing. Cheaper than .223 and they are a blast to shoot.
I still prefer my 20" full size and .223 is a lot more accurate and percise on a rifle range. One club isn't equiped for high powered rifles and the other club it's only 50m anyways so 9mm indoors is great!

Yea a quick look at the site tells me he doesn't have any stock in the compete guns, and he wasn't sure when the next ones would come in?
I may opt for a stag lower and look around for a complete upper?

instead of the special hammer, have to bolt ramped. alot better for the lower, less beating it takes.
Actually the website shows we have a complete 7" in stock right now... the rest of our 9mm's and uppers are all sold out. We have more coming but no point in telling you it will be here in 4 weeks and then in 4 weeks giving you another date because RRA was late shipping or because all of the items on that order got bought up before the order arrived.
Demand for AR's in the US is huge and this means most manufacturers are backordered. RRA is currently quoting 60 to 90 days for delivery on their 9mm and .223 AR Pistols.
In many cases the shipments we order sell out before they ever get here. People placing orders now get allocated from orders we've already placed so usually their wait time is far less than the 60 to 90 days.
We do keep a constant inventory of most of the 9mm parts for those who are building their own 9mm conversions... part we try to stock are the 9mm hammer, 9mm buffer, 9mm stock spacer for those using A2 Stocks, magwell adaptor...
For 9mm parts... http://www.questar.ca/deals/RRAPL9MM.htm

Thanks Mark, and you're right there is a 7" in stock. I was looking for a 10.5". I understand about the delivery, and nothing wrong in being cautious. I'm still doing some homework, but hopefully I be able to give ya ring in the near future.Cheers

According to the gurus at AR15.com you can use any DPMS hammer whose part number ends in 33. It is supposedly good for 9mm and .223 at the same time. You still have to swap out the other stuff but I found exchanging the hammers to be the most annoying and time consuming of them all. But the best fix of all is just to dedicate a lower to the 9mm as suggested by W Squared.
No matter what you do, Mark's (Questar) estimate of 60-90 days for a complete AR is well worth the wait.
It was hard but it was a lot harder waiting the 7 business days for the official registration to come in between Canada Post delivery of the rifle and the being able to take it to the range for the first time.

Took me 12 weeks to get my RRA 9mm A4 receiver, 9mm Vortex and 2X RRA 10 RD 9mm Mags....From them, But like you said, worth the wait...
When I ordered mine Mark quoted me 14 weeks and I got the confirmation that it arrived from him in about 11 weeks.
It was just so hard to see it in the cabinet and waiting for the official yellow registration papers to take it out to the range.
You can (and I do) just use an M16 hammer and leave it in. Any hammer without a notch to catch on the carrier will do.
And no, you don't have to "swap out the other stuff". You can use the 9mm buffer just fine.
In the end, if you use and M16 hammer, all you have to do is move the mag block in and out. Takes half a turn with an allen key.
