Freedom Ordnance 9mm carbine

[svt3183 14]

This looks like possibly the carbine i have been hoping for - not ugly as a Clinton female, 9mm, glock mags, and $600 price point. I don't know shit about this company though. I know they used UTG stock and rail, but need to keep cost down somehow I guess. 100% US made is bonus.

 

Anyone know about this company?

That actually looks like a good deal. Features are good. Has a LRBHO. Controls look good.

 

I built mine with QC10 parts (in .40) and am very happy but am extremely interested to hear how this runs if you get one.

Why do all 9mm AR's magazines just look wrong to me? Why do they all slant towards the hand grip rather than protrude straight down or away like a MPX or a CZ scorpion?

Because the ones that take Glock magazines have to match the grip angle of the Glock magwell. The MPX and CZ take proprietary magazines.

[High Exposure 5,056]

They have to keep the grip angle of the pistol they were designed for or they won't function.

 

If you used Uzi mags, they would be straight. Unfortunately Glock mags followers are angled for proper feeding of the round at Glock's grip angle - ergo, the magwell has to mimic that for reliable feeding.

Makes sense.. thanks.

Very interesting that you should post that, as I've been looking longingly at this the last couple of days:

Pretty sure I'm going to end up getting it.

I don't like the charging handle on the Kel Tec's

I have been looking around for a while and I am liking what I see with this one as well.  Hope you get it and tell us all about it!

I was thinking about one of these as well. Missed a couple good deals on used ones on the forum here in the Marketplace.

 

Still looking....

Contact Chris at Federal Firearm in Delaware. I'm sure he has a few for sale. No NICS Fee or Sales Tax when picked up there.

Paul, are you referencing the Kel-Tec or the 9mm AR?

[PK90 3,468]

Kel-Tec

If you're looking for an AR-type 9mm, there's always JRC.  Also uses Glock mags for about the same price.

I don't consider the JRC to be an "AR" type rifle. It has a completely different manual of arms.

 

My Glock mag carbine is run identically to my ARs.

[tuktuk 16]

So did anybody buy one ? 

[svt3183 14]

I have not - considering it if I get my car sold 

[Purple Patrick 638]

There's already one thread about selling guns for a car and now you lay this on us?

Haha where's that? Maybe I can buy those guns with money from my car and we'll neutralize everything

Classic Arms has a 9mm Carbine that takes Glock Mags. Price is $599 was considering one but decided to go with used Scar instead that I just bought from an Estate at a good price.  I am not aware of any milspec 9mm carbines so you need to be careful

In the early 1980s Colt developed and manufactured a 9mm Sub Gun (current model numbers R0991 and R0992) on an AR type platform at the request of the USMC for use with their Fleet Security Forces. They are built to a "mil-spec"and use proprietary magazines based on Uzi mags.

I have found them to be unreliable with anything other than .mil 9mm ball ammo.

New unboxing video, looks pretty nice.  Waiting for the range report.

Looks real nice and is on my list

Interesting.... but why not just build your own 9mm Upper?

It would be cheaper and you can have exactly what you want.  Like an AR
