I'm trying...well was trying... To work a trade and I offered my AR9 build for $800 to start and the guy comes back with "I can build one for $450"

Is it even possible to build an AR9 upper alone for $450? Much less the full pistol?

I am going to go with no. Even with the price drop at psa you would still be in it for at least $600-$700.

That was my thought as well. I waited and waited on mine....finding all the deals I could...and even then, I'm still in it right around 700 to 800.

I know I have been watching (not searching) for ar 9 items and have not found any crazy deals. That's why nine is still just an stripped lower.

I went for months back and forth from PSA, to JoeBob, to JSE, to you name it. I still feel like I overpaid.....I'll be darned if this guy can build one for 1/2 of what it cost me....but then again, it's probably just his way of saying that his stuff is better than my stuff.

No, I don't buy that. The only valid excuse is that you could get a CZ Scorpion for about the same price that you built yours for, but they're too different animals altogether.

That's only possible with shitty mag blocks, un ramped bolts, wonky threads, and probably too long of a barrel. And even then maybe not possible
I guess I won't tell you what I'm building my 9mm AR for .....bolt, block, barrel for under $200 ...upper was 29 ... still need a lower but for now its going on my pistol lower

I'd love to see the breakdown, including thread pitch, barrel length, and all the other details.

nvm, prices have changed drastically.
