Ditch the buffer tube (and the outdated charging handle)
The AR platform suffers from two things: Its buffer assembly adds needless overall length and weight, and its charging handle is a pain in the ass.
Both of those problems get fixed with this unique 9mm AR upper. Featuring a side-charging handle and a self-contained, bufferless recoil assembly, this upper requires no buffer tube of any kind!
Bufferless Upper Includes Sealed End Plate
Included with this upper is a unique, sealed end plate that threads into any standard buffer tube housing's threads, including 80% 9mm lowers, and retail-bought AR9 lowers.
The custom end plate features a Picatinny rail for attaching your choice of folding stock adapter.
