Build list for the side charger? I have a Aero EPC9 lower that I'm going to build next and was looking at the NFA sidechargers for an upper.
Upper, lower, BCG and 16" barrel all New Frontier. I had furniture, handguard, etc.
what buffer setup?
New Frontier, IIRC.
Thank you. I've been looking for a solid side charging upper and for the life of me couldn't find a middle ground on pricing. Only shit I could really find was trash BCA stuff or CMMG for 3x what these New Frontier ones go for. Even the owner at the FFL I use for transfers couldn't find anything between those two price points.
Your FFL sucks. Foxtrot Mike is middle ground for AR9s. Side charging, LRBHO and built like a fucking tank. My 10 inch 9mm sbr weighs as much as my AR10. Oh yea, FM doesn’t have a disclaimer about their bolt catches breaking off like New Frontier does. The bolt catch on the FM lower receiver is beefing than a standard bolt catch.
Every FFL around here sucks unfortunately. The only decent one is an 80 something year old Fudd who works out of his living room. He's charging 1/3 what everyone else is for transfers but you have to put up with shitty boomer disapproval looks for anything that looks like it was produced in the last 60 years.
Seriously, look at a FM if possible. I bought the lower bare from Brownells. It’s the billet lower. They also have a hybrid lower that is part polymer. The upper was complete and originally was a 7 inch barrel but I swapped to a 10 inch barrel to run it suppressed. It has the SilencerCo ASR flash hider. The heavy ass KAK buffer made it a completely different gun to shoot compared to the H3 buffer I was running.Every FFL around here sucks unfortunately.

Annnd the bold killed any interest in the NF upper. BCA breaks off just the same for 1/2 the price.
Already bookmarked. They came up when I was looking but I guess I never went to the actual store page. Product page doesn't list a price so I wrote it off.
Their website is horrible. I didn’t get the upper from them either. Primary arms. I would go with the KAK 10 ounce buffer. 9mm has a ton of energy. More than you think. 124 grain pills will fully cycle 37.5 ounces of bolt and buffer weight out of a 2 inch barrel.
I built that NFA PCC back in 2016 not long after they were introduced. Have not had a bolt catch break, and used it in a 5 day class at Gunsite, well over 1000 rounds with no issues. Maybe they changed the design, or maybe I bought so early they hadn't had any breakages yet. I dunno.
