Finally decided on my next PCC build. I had long thought it would be a Glock pattern lower, since I have a 19 and 17, so ETS and big Glock mags could be used by all. Realized a couple of things though that pushed me towards a change of heart.
1: I hate the angle of the long Glock mags coming out of the bottom
2: I finally figured out that the smaller magwell (small frame like QC10, etc) are what also makes the gun look weird.
So I solved both by ordering a CMMG Colt Pattern stripped lower this morning. It is the size and shape of a standard AR15 lower, but the magwell is cut for the Colt mags. And the mags go straight down out of the bottom, which I like.
As soon as I get the lower, I will go ahead and file the SBR paperwork. I think I will plan on running a 4.5" Faxon barrel with the CMMG BCG. That way I can use my BCM trigger from my PWS Mk1 Mod2 when I receive the Zev they owe me. Also going to use the LWRC Ultra Compact Stock Kit and will get the JP Silent Capture Enhanced Gen2 and modify it to work with the LWRC stock. Also found a YHM 9MM marked upper on clearance and decided to order that in the event I decide no to cerakote the receivers and rail. Kind of a cool visual reminder that the gun is 9mm:
Still undecided on three things:
1: Which rail to go with? Likely will need to be a 4.5-5.5'' one.
2: Which muzzle device to use. I like the looks of the Kaw Valley 9mm Linear Comp. I do plan on a 9mm suppressor soon
3: What color to cerakote the receiver setup and rail. If I do, I am thinking Tungsten Grey.
Basically, going for this look (but with the nice full magwell), plus an MRO or T1
