Basically, you can have a 9mm AR that uses Glock mags with a full length key mod rail for $700. Way under most other companies AR style offerings.

Tidbits;

Hand guard rail mount is rock solid. Bolt is a one piece unit. Very easy to clean. Firing pin is spring loaded. Trigger is about 7lb. Could be better. Might get lighter with more use. If not, an easy fix. Unlike the Colt mag lower, the bolt does not lock open after the last round. I can live with that. My Just right carbine was that way, as well as my 10/22s.

Took it to indoor range to sight in the sights and red dot. Only put 120 rounds through it, but no problems. 80 fmj, 40 wide mouth hollow points. I plan on taking out again this weekend.

The only problem with these, is catching them in stock. You have to sign up for the email alert. And you need to act quick.

Thanks for the write up. I want one to go with my 10mm

I didn't know these didn't lock back on last round. Same as my RMW 10mm DI AR. I do know these are blowback (no way a 9mm has enough gas for DI AR style), but also I didn't know the bolt was a solid affair with spring firing pin. Is the pin itself like an AR-15?

I assume any 5.56 AR trigger group will fit.

Let us know accuracy! Because I know PCC AR's are a total hoot to shoot!!

Great option for people who own and like Glocks. My wife would like to own this. Thanks for the info. I had no idea it existed. It looks like a realistic, and practical alternative to her thoughts of an M&P .22LR AR.

Very nice. I like that a lot.

Thanks for the review. Looks like fun.

Your rear sight is too far forward though. For a peep sight to be used as intended, it needs to be as far rearward as you can get. It is also easier to shoot more accurately with longer sight radius.

I'm aware of that. But with my old eyes and glasses, I have to keep it there. Any closer and its too blurry.

Are you a big guy? Everything looks extended.

Not at all. Pic was pre range trip. VFG has since been moved back a few inches, and I shot it with the stock one click in from full extension.

Very accurate. My just right carbine in 9mm was also very accurate.

Its supposed to be blurry. You're just looking through it.

Using the single feed Glock mag should help with feeding reliability.
