The AR-9 16" Side Charging LRBHO Complete Upper Assembly is the perfect choice for building your next 9MM AR-9 rifle. This upper assembly features a non-reciprocating side charging billet upper receiver with Last Round Bolt Hold Open (LRBHO) for reliable performance. Specifically designed to work with Glock Mag AR-9/40/45 components, it is the ideal choice for your Glock-compatible AR-9 build.
Barrel: The 16" 9mm match grade barrel is made from 4150 chrome moly vanadium steel, and finished with black nitride for durability and corrosion resistance. The barrel has a 1:10 twist rate, making it ideal for accurate, high-performance shooting. With a 1/2x36 muzzle thread, it can easily accommodate a variety of muzzle devices. This upper comes finished with a Mini Tanker muzzle brake to reduce recoil and muzzle rise.
Side Charging Upper Receiver: Constructed from 6061 billet aluminum, this receiver is matte black hard-coat anodized for superior corrosion resistance and durability. The non-reciprocating side charging handle provides a more ergonomic option for charging your rifle. It is fully compatible with Glock Mag AR-9/40/45 components and other aftermarket parts, ensuring easy customization. The receiver also features an adjustable tension slide lock and a rear dust cover trap door that seals shut when mated with a lower.
Gas System: Built with a blowback gas system, this upper assembly ensures smooth operation and reliable cycling with 9mm rounds.
Handguard: The 15" lightweight free-floating M-LOK rail offers excellent space for mounting accessories. Made from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with black hard-coat anodizing, this handguard is both rugged and easy to handle.
Bolt Carrier Group (BCG): This upper includes a 9MM ramped BCG, precision milled from US-made 8620 steel with a mag phosphate finish. The BCG is designed for Glock-style MA-9 lower receivers and features an M-16 cut, allowing compatibility with transferable full-auto MGs or other legal machine guns (all BATFE rules apply).
Compliance: This upper is California (CA) and New York (NY) compliant, making it a great option for shooters in those states.
Made in the USA: Manufactured with the highest quality standards and materials, this upper assembly is proudly made in the USA by Moriarti Armaments.
