The Moriarti AR-9 8.3" Side Charging Pistol Upper Assembly is engineered for performance, reliability, and compact power. Built on a non-reciprocating side charging billet upper receiver and integrated Last Round Bolt Hold Open (LRBHO) system, this upper is ideal for Glock-mag compatible builds and ready for action.
Perfect for custom AR-9 pistol builds, this upper delivers a clean cycling experience thanks to its blowback operation, a match-grade 8.3” 9MM barrel, and a 7.5” slim M-LOK handguard for lightweight modularity.
Each upper comes fully assembled and test-fired, ensuring flawless fitment and function for your next PDW or tactical pistol setup. Rails may vary slightly depending on stock availability, with no compromise on quality.
