Scorp Mags stripped lowers are now becoming the unicorn of the AR9 world.. Just dumbfounded why not a lot are making a receiver for it. It's the best looking one and the scorp mags are less expensive than a HK MP5 ones. =/
Yeah it’s a shame. These sat on the shelf with no interest for a few years. Then the ATF instated the brace rule which delayed sales to the point that our machinist discontinued the design. When the brace rule was overturned and the MAT9 upper was released, this triggered a major sellout. Hopefully we will have a gen2 available by the end of the year.
@@highvoltagecustom tell him to build it faster! :D Anyway, just focus on compatibility with the PSA Scorp Mags, those are rock solid.. I have a PSA AR-V, I love it and planning on getting an AK-V within this year. I want another AR9 that is not branded PSA.. For the life of me I can't find any stripped lower receiver sellers that are selling it for a reasonable price. =/
Answer is two-fold. First geometry. They are tempremental to get feeding right and hard to get them to fees with Hollow points. Second is the upper. The mag sits high enough it goes into the upper. The standard ar upper is not wide enough. Needs a few thousandths trimmed on the inside to fit. So companies don't want to deal with a million phone calls about why xyz upper doesn't work.
@@captainbarred I wouldn't even pretend I know what you are talking about I am not a machinist. Anyhow, I have a self build PSA-ARV. It gobbles 147gr HPs like it's nothing. It's actually my preferred choice for home defense among all the pew pews I have. What worked for my build was following Blowback 9's suggestion to use a barrel with a modern feed cone. The ARV lower has a feed ramp which marries perfectly to my Mas Defense Barrel's feed cone. The only jam I get was from using the ETS CZ mags, which are known to be crap.
@Lost-Orbz that's awesome! There are a ton out there running great, however it's still a roll of the dice. If you search for reviews, you'll see a lot of people with problems. Now, that doesn't mean it's not simply a vocal minority, but I'm not seeing many good reviews. I've been wanting one for years, but don't really want to take the risk.... I have a montego/brn bufferless upper now though, so I'm very temped to roll the dice.... your post gives me hope.
Holy smokes thats awesome!
Appreciate that🙌
I want that lower so bad. Hopefully gen2 comes out in a hurry.
That
lower looks sick on that!
Sure does. Probably the best looking combo for the MAT9 upper. Thanks man!
which lower is this?@@highvoltagecustom
What charging handle is that if I may ask? Awesome build btw
HB Industries make its and its listed under BRN-9. It’s 2 separate pieces, handle and locking block.

Sounds like a great build you have there.
The side handle upgrade is from HB Industries. It’s 2 parts, the side folding handle and detent block.

Can you fire it with the brace collapsed?
Yes you can. Buffer/spring assembly is built into the MAT9 upper.
I’m really wanting one of those lowers any eta when they’ll be instock?
Probably by the end of the year.
Y'all don't seem to have a website anywhere? I might not be looking hard enough😬
