Dirty Bird Side-Charging DB9 9mm / Pistol Caliber Receiver Set

The DB9 Billet Lower Receiver is an ideal choice for starting your pistol caliber (9mm, 40 S&W, .357 Sig) AR build. Precision machined from a solid block of 7075-T6 billet aluminum and finished with hard-coat black anodizing per Mil 8625 Type 3 Class 2 specifications, you can be sure that this unit is as tough as they come. This lower receiver accepts any Glock style small frame pistol caliber magazines in 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, etc. and the mag well features a beveled feed lip for quick and easy mag swaps. Extensive testing and attention to detail also ensure that your Glock style magazines will drop free when released. The proprietary magazine catch and ejector is included and pre-installed from the factory. Other features include: Threaded takedown pin spring and detent hole for easy installation. Set screw is included. Note: To prevent excess pressure on the rear takedown pin and detent, you can shorten the detent spring by the same length of the set screw using some wire cutters prior to installation. Threaded upper tension screw to adjust any “slop” out of vertical fit between the upper and lower. Ambidextrous finger rests above and below the mag release. Threaded bolt catch pin included for easy bolt catch installation. Manufactured by New Frontier Armory right here in the USA. Lifetime Limited Warranty Does not come with pivot/takedown pins. Important information: Magazine Compatibility This lower will drop-free factory Glock small frame pistol magazines. It has also been thoroughly tested with Magpul GL17 9mm pistol magazines to fit and drop-free. Promo, KCI, Kahn and other types of magazines will also work but due to varying thicknesses relative to factory Glock mag dimensions, slight modification to the magazine catch may be required. Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) Requirements You’ll need a BCG which is compatible with Glock style magazines. Some BCGs in the market are compatible with both Colt and Glock style magazines but some others are specific. The difference is Glock magazine compatible BCGs have the relief cuts necessary to clear the magazines. Lower Parts Kit Compatibility  Any mil-spec or better LPK will work but you won’t need the mag catch assembly, bolt catch roll pin or the trigger guard as those are all included with this lower. Buffer Recommendations You’ll want to use a 9mm (extended) buffer which is longer and heavier than a standard carbine buffer. Standard carbine buffers will work but it’s a good idea to use a spacer to limit the rearward travel. This is simply because a 9mm BCG is shorter than a standard BCG which means there is more travel and gives the BCG more time to build speed as it returns home and this extra velocity can cause excess stress on the bolt catch. 9mm extended buffers are common and well worth the investment. Before firing your new build we suggest you adjust the ejector. You can do this quickly and easily by following these steps: Back-off the two hex-head screws holding the ejector just enough so the ejector has a semi-tight “friction fit”. Ensure the ejector is seated all the way to the rear and all the way down in it’s pocket. Close the upper onto the lower with the bolt all the way forward. SLOWLY cycle the bolt in and out about 1/4 of the way back a few times. Allow the bolt to close all the way and tighten up the ejector screws. No need to over-torque as this could cause the ejector to shift position, we’ll be adding blue (non-permanent) locktite in the next step. OPTIONAL: At this point you can use some dummy rounds to check for proper ejection. Remove one ejector screw at a time (ensuring the ejector does not move) and add a dab of blue locktite to the threads and tighten them back down.   New Frontier Pistol Caliber Billet AR-9/45 Side Charging Upper with LRBHO  Other Specifications and Features of the Side Charging AR-9 Stripped Billet Upper with LRBHO: Machined from 6061 billet aluminum Matte black hard-coat anodized per Mil 8625 Type 3 Class 2 Compatible with all Glock Mag AR-9 components and most aftermarket parts Adjustable tension slide lock on charging handle Rear dust cover trap door that seals shut when mated with lower Manufactured to MILSPEC on state of the art CNC equipment for consistent quality parts and exacting tolerances Save money by building your own AR pistol caliber rifle from the ground up exactly the way you want it configured Designed to match lines with New Frontier Armory C-9 and C-45 Billet Lower and most forged lowers **NOTE:  Some rail systems that use anti-rotation tabs may need slight modification to fit this upper.  It is designed for flush mounting rails and standard hand guards.

Lantac N15 Raven Billet Receiver Set - 01-RV-SET-N15-RAVEN

Machined from certified 7075-T6 Aluminum and Type 3 Hardcoat Anodized Class2, Deep Black. Our matched billet receiver sets are manufactured to the highest quality standards with excellent fit between parts. UAR™ Billet Upper: The patent pending SMOOTHCAM™ system features a domed head, low friction cam pin and special upper receiver that offer ultra smooth operation. With its blended cam recess the UAR upper is machined from Billet 7075-T6 certified aluminum and milspec,  Type3, Class2, Deep Black, Hardcoat Anodized. The UAR™ is a precision machined upper with a special proprietary bore that is ultra smooth with a roughness average in micro inches of 16, as opposed to standard bored or milled uppers that are 32-63, or higher. This reduces bolt carrier friction and creates a much smoother operation. Barrel nut threads, bore and barrel extension surfaces are all machined in one operation so that they are perfectly concentric and perpendicular to the barrel and fixing assembly. The cam pin recess has been carefully designed with a smooth surface that flows into the main reciprocation channel. This allows our specially designed radial, domed head cam pin to move with the minimum of wear against these internal surfaces. The CP-R360™ Cam Pin has no moving parts to break or lock up. Machined from 17-4 PH Stainless Steel and hardened to H900 (45RC Approx) its head is polished for a super smooth finish. The cam pins circular head has a single flat face machined into it at the front so that it can be inserted into any bolt carrier without having to remove the gas key. Two further flats are machined at 90 degrees to the front face that assist in reducing internal wear to the cam channel. The unique domed head allows the cam pin to operate in a completely different position to a traditional pin, with the radius of the head curving away from the receivers internal surface, rather than forming a hard or sharp edge on its upper corner that causes wear. Finished in its natural hardened state, copper/brass color. LA-N15™ Billet Lower Receiver Internally flared Magazine well, to assist in loading. 45 Degree BAD Safety Selector cut. Spotface recess to rear Takedown Pin making acess easier. Single point cut receiver extension threads. Enlarged Mag Button area for easier gloved operation. Broach Cut Magwell. Made in the USA
