Description
The Combat Armory CA9 Stripped AR9 Lower is a billet machined AR9 lower receiver for building a 9mm AR that takes standard frame Glock magazines. The CA9 lower is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, finished in black anodizing, and ships with the magazine catch and ejector pre-installed from the factory.

Combat Armory CA9 Stripped AR9 Lower Overview
Building a pistol caliber AR starts with the right lower, and the CA9 gives you a solid foundation. It is machined from a billet of 7075-T6 aluminum to mil-spec receiver dimensions, so it accepts standard AR-15 lower parts kits, buffer tubes and fire control groups. A flared magazine well makes reloads faster, and the lower is compatible with standard frame Glock 9mm magazines, which are affordable and easy to find in many capacities. A Magpul style trigger guard is machined into the receiver.
Because the magazine catch and ejector come pre-installed, you can skip the trickiest part of an AR9 build. Note that this lower is a non last round bolt hold open design.
Why Build an AR9
A 9mm AR is cheap to shoot, quiet with a suppressor and has very little recoil. It is a great trainer, home defense option and range gun, and using Glock magazines means your pistol and carbine can share mags.
What You Need to Finish
Add a lower parts kit, a pistol caliber buffer system and stock or brace, and a 9mm AR upper that works with Glock pattern lowers. Check that your upper and bolt are compatible with the CA9 design.
Legal Notes
A stripped lower receiver is the serialized part and is legally a firearm. It must be transferred through a licensed FFL dealer with a background check. Know your state and local laws before building.
Choosing Ammunition
Every rifle has preferences, so try a few brands and bullet weights to see which groups best in yours. Match the bullet to your purpose, and zero with the exact load you plan to use. Record your point of impact at several distances so you know your holdover.
Optics and Setup
Choose an optic that fits the job, mount it with quality rings or a solid mount torqued to specification, and confirm your zero before relying on the rifle. A sling and a bipod are useful additions for hunting and range work.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the bore after each range session or hunt, wipe metal surfaces with a lightly oiled cloth and check action and mount screws for proper torque. Store the rifle in a dry place and use a padded case for travel.
Shooting Fundamentals
Accuracy comes from consistent fundamentals: a stable position, natural point of aim, controlled breathing and a smooth trigger press. Practice from a bench to confirm your zero, then from field positions such as sitting, kneeling and prone with a sling or bipod.
Recommended Accessories
Plan on a quality optic and rings or mount, a sling, eye and ear protection and a cleaning kit. A bipod or shooting sticks help with long shots, and a padded case protects your investment during travel.
Ordering From MAG5
Choose your local FFL dealer at checkout and we ship directly to them. Once the firearm arrives, your dealer runs the background check and completes the transfer paperwork. Most dealers charge a modest transfer fee, so ask about it before you order.
State Laws
Firearm, magazine and transfer laws vary by state. Check your local laws and confirm your receiving dealer can complete the transfer.
