I mean if it uses standard AR bolt/carrier and barrel, it would be simple.Thank you ! I will look at that possibility
Super heavy recoil spring.The AR type 9mm carbines are blowback. .223 are locked breech. The manually operated .223 carbines are locked breech. 9mm blowback parts would be no go.
Mean Arms also makes 9mm conversion kits for standard 5.56 AR mags and dedicated 9mm mags that work in a standard AR lower. Any of the double feed mags should be nicer to use than Glock mags.You can get mag adapters that run Glock mags, or ones that use uzi/colt/lar mags. They just get inserted like a magazine. Some have a lock that keeps it in. So the orginal mag release works.
Yes, this should work fine. You barely have to open the bolt face for 9mm, it is only 0.013" larger than .223/5.56 and the 5.56 extractor and ejector should work as-is. I've thought about doing this with a Troy PAR, but haven't got excited enough to spend the $1500 for the rifle, plus all the other bits.But couldnt you open up a bolt head for 9mm case and use the barrel extention with a 9mm barrel.
When I had my 9mm AR, the only mag option was colt, uzi or LAR15.Mean Arms also makes 9mm conversion kits for standard 5.56 AR mags and dedicated 9mm mags that work in a standard AR lower. Any of the double feed mags should be nicer to use than Glock mags.

Yeah, Mean Arms is a relatively recent option. You are correct, all the rifle mags are limited to 5. The LAR AR9/Colt SMG mags would probably be my choice, since they are still double feed and much easier to load than Glock mags.When I had my 9mm AR, the only mag option was colt, uzi or LAR15.
Mean arms would need to be pinned, while Glock and LAR do not. Unless you run uzi mags.
Doesn't matter, OP can't use a blowback bolt anyway. He needs a locked breech to make it work properly.9mm AR bolts won't fit the straight pull modular rifles because there is no channel inside the top of the receiver for the AR charge handle/gas key.
Sorry not educated on straight pull recievers. Assumed they were like regular ARs. Till I researched more, and found they didnt use AR carriers.9mm AR bolts won't fit the straight pull modular rifles because there is no channel inside the top of the receiver for the AR charge handle/gas key.
