    I'm ready to start a 9mm Ar build and I'm looking for the best dedicated lower to start with. Is there one that is better than the others? Any use Glock mags?

    You just missed it, Engage (QC10) just had a shipment of the best 9mm lowers which featured both Glock and Colt styled mags!! Where were you? :D

    To answer your question QC10 makes the best ones and pretty much everyone else is a copy...........

    one of each

    I was still finishing my other 3 projects. As luck would have it they are all finished and now I need another one.

    Well let me tell you now, they have an MP5 lower on the way.... So if your an HK guy and have a lot of mags, this might be for you!

    I have a LWD Glock mag lower. It's been great but no BHO is irritating sometimes...... QC10 was not around when I bought mine. I have read that the BHO on the QC10's is not 100% reliable but have no experience there, just what I have read. I would do the QC10 if I built another one. Get some 33rnd mags and add the Taylor Freelance +12 and spring and you got lotsa BB's to shoot. Tons of fun at Pistol Cal carbine matches...... Might be my favorite gun.....

    Definitely the QC10. Beautiful craftsmanship and with the proper components/parts, it has been 100% reliable so far.

    Love my QC10 too! Wearing a Sig Romeo red dot instead of the Prismatic but otherwise the same.

    Just ordered one today. What can is that? How do you like it?

    That's a Noveske pig. I basically use it as a thread protector. I always shoot this with my Gemtech Multimount.

    The multimount is a good choice for a 9mm suppressor. I have no complaints.

    My CMMG MK9 has been 100% reliable. They also don't have all the drama of almost going out of business and late delivery like WC10 has.

    CMMG is also cheaper and they also make the best 9mm bolt.

    I got mine from 2A Sales.

    Here's mine
    I think you are mixing that up a bit. QC10 is a new company and never had such issues. Please link your source. I think you are referring to DDLES, but they're out of business and sold their rights and machinery to QC10. QC10 has been stellar thus far.

    You are correct, I did mix them up.
