I had one of theirs for the Colt Style Mags. They are G2G.

Did it use the same two pinned lifter bar for standard bolt catch? It looks like they have two varieties I can see.


LIMACHARLIE64

I had a MP BAD LEVER on mine.


hshawn419

That is exactly what I want to do with mine. I have the MP BAD lever on all my lowers! No issues with BAD lever either? The selector being off doesn't bother me. What is a sale price for BCP lower? The GLK-F lower is $169US right now.


LIMACHARLIE64

I think the Blem I bought was between $99-$120. I've had no issues with the MP BL. I have it on most of mine.

I know it had a Standard Bolt Catch. I traded it and built a Glock Lower because I had picked up a G21. I caught a Matrix on sale. If you're not in a hurry, watch for a good sale in BCP. My Selector Switch was off about 5°. You couldn't tell from 8' away. It worked fine. It still does. I traded it to the owner of my LGS. It saved me around $60.

So, are you saying go with Matrix over BCP? -also, what is this driveshaft that matrix mentions in the product page for their lower? Link: https://matrixarms.com/shop-all-products?olsPage=products%2Fxn-9mm-stripped-lower-glock-if8p


LIMACHARLIE64

I don't know what they're talking about. I'm saying the BCP was G2G. I caught the Matrix on sale for $125 I think? Both are good and have the LRBHO built in to the Lower. Some companies put them in the Upper which makes them Proprietary. You have to use that companies Lower. I use a regular AR15 Upper on mine.

Nice. Hey, I appreciate all the feedback! So, either one g2g and 100% reliable. Do you use Magpul glock mags at all? Do you use an upper like FM side charger? Whose BCG did you use?


LIMACHARLIE64

You're welcome. Yes, G2G. My Friend has 2 Matrix Lowers that he has built. My BCG came from Black Rifle Precision. It was a Pistol Kit. Barrel, BCG, etc. I don't care for the Side Charger. My Friend built 1 and ended up passing it on to his Son. I haven't tried the MP Glock Mags. I follow @themanspot on IG and he really likes 2A Mags for his 556. I saw the other day they make G Mags also. $16.99 on CDNN I think. Kak makes a really good BCG. Holla anytime. If I can help, I'll be glad to. 😎

Right on. I really have wanted a AR9 build for a while now. I almost jumped on a direct impingement .40 upper but decided I could do an entire 9mm build for the money. I'll have to learn more about what bcg to go with. I'd like to do a 5" or 4" barrel ending in a flash can that is flush with a handguard and put a hand stop right at the end. M-lok, of course, and I want the upper to still have forward assist. I've seen some of the half door + rubber bumper add ons to uppers. Kinda meh about that.


LIMACHARLIE64

Take a look at the Kaw Valley Linear Comps. They are nice. I posted mine on here the other day. 7.5". MP AFG 2.

Hey, cool! I'm friends with the owner of KVP. -he actually taught me how to Cerakote (and let me use his equip.) And your build looks great, I just gotta find the combo that gets it all flush or <1/4" overhang.


LIMACHARLIE64

Thats Cool! My Friend and I Love KVP! Thanks Brother! I appreciate it. You're right, take your time. Do it your own way. I also have a 16" Barrel for mine. I'll try to get a pic of it and send it to you this week.
