[...] For a while, the 9MM AR-15 was all the rage. Soon, it may be the 45ACP. Here’s a guide to how it’s done. [...]

[...] This brings us to fun with my 9mm AR-15. Since I only shoot it at the indoor range and have decided it would make a good house gun, it’s set up for short range work. I have it zeroed in at seven yards (gunnies will know what that number means). On the EOTech, at 7 yards, I put the dot on the target and that’s where the bullet goes. At 7 yards, firing as fast as I want to, it gets groups like this: [...]

[...] Yes, I have a 9mm AR-15. It would never have occured to me to make a 9mm AK though. But it did occur to Lichtenberg Research, whose slogan is: Because you can…and…it drives them crazy!!! [...]

[...] Yeah, you’re wondering why I haven’t blogged about my Buy a Gun Day purchases. Being unemployed means I can’t go buying guns willy-nilly. So, I’ll consider the 9mm AR my month early BAG purchase. Or I guess I could file an extension with the BAG agency and get one later. [...]

[...] Took El Nino to the range again last week and put another 300 rounds through it. No problems at all. Ran perfectly and accurately. Excellent. Money well-spent on an indoor range gun. Finally had some time to take it down for a cleaning. I’m not sure if it’s the 9mm blowback design or the Wal-Mart special Winchester White Box Ammo but I have never seen a gun with innards so dirty. There were these little clumps of a gritty powder all over the fire control group, bolt and inside of the lower receiver. Took like 30 Q-Tips to clean it up. Anyone have an idea why it’s so dirty?

[...] Say Uncle posts photos and a range report of his nine millimeter AR-15, “El Nino”. In my small corner of the gun blog world Say Uncle was the one who got me interested in building one. [...]

[...] I’m thinking about turning El Nino into a short barreled rifle (pay the $200 tax, get law enforcement sign off, yada yada). Now, through the magic of photoshop and my first real effort photoshopping an image and not just text, I present what El Nino would look like with a 10.5 inch barrel: [...]

Nice look to El Nino (or El Nine-o?). I like the apperance of that shorty fore-end. Nice shooting too.

Heads up on the Winchester White Box 147 grain 9mm ammo, It didn’t feed in my rifle worth a damn, four bolt-over-round feeding malfunctions while trying to shoot ten rounds over the chrono is a bit too many.

Sweet! I’m considering the flip-up/Eotech combo for an AR build, but it’ll be in .223. My RRA 9AR can accomodate it, but I like the add-on carrying handle/Trijicon Reflex for the added weight (it doesn’t have a muzzle brake).

Bastard. I’m still waiting on my lower parts kit. Granted, I decided to get the DPMS kit, since all my reading suggested that the DPMS hammer will work with both 9mm and standard uppers. And of course, I’m still waiting on the lower. Oly’s lead machinist was sick for like a week and they built up a huge backlog.

BTW, what mag block did you end up going with?
