Description
Why would you want the American Resistance AR9 BCG? We’ve done the work so that you don’t have to. When it comes to PCC (pistol caliber carbine) builds, they’re very easy to assemble and build compared to gas impingement systems like 556/223. With no gas block or gas tube, it really doesn’t get any more simplistic for the upper. With that being said, there is one big issue when building a PCC: nothing is standardized like on the 556 platform. One BCG will work with one lower receiver, and not another. Some buffers/springs work with one set up, but not another. We understand that this can frustrating when everyone is telling you that PCC builds are more simple, and they are, but there’s still a bit of a curve to be learned when you’re doing your assembly. There’s more than just 9mm for PCC weapons, such as 45ACP, 10mm, and 40S&W. For this information, we’re only focusing on 9mm specifically. The buffer and spring you’ll be able to use is the standard 9mm buffer (5.4 or 5.5oz), with an AR15 carbine length buffer spring. This buffer/spring set up can be used on most PCC builds. Where you’ll need to change your buffer/spring, is if you’re using a buffer tube that is proprietary in length such as Maxim Defense’s PDW kit. These kits usually come with their own spring/buffer. Do not try to use the AR15 carbine spring and 5.4oz buffer. The bolt will not come back far enough for a full cycle, which will cause your weapon to have short-stroke cycling issues. Companies like Maxim also offer a PDW kit that utilizes a JP Enterprises Silent Capture spring. The Silent Capture springs typically can not be used on PCC builds due to the carrier being solid instead of hollowed out on the backend. The ARG 9mm BCG has a removable weight at the rear of the carrier to allow for Silent Capture springs to be used. You might think: “If I remove that weight, will it effect the function and life span of the BCG”? Normally the answer to this question would be yes! However, we’ve machined the outside diameter to be a bit larger to increase the weight of the BCG so that when the rear weight has been removed, it’s still retains enough weight to ensure longevity and reliability. Also in reference the the removable rear weight, you have the option to install a Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter. This is due to the LT requiring you install the supplied BCG extension plug. The removable weight weighs 2.4oz, and the LT BCG extension plus weighs 2.2oz. Very marginal difference. The most definitive feature of the ARG 9mm BCG is the custom cut on the belly side where the hammer falls into when firing. We’ve done the work for you on this one too! The belly side cut has been cut to the same dimensions as an 556 M16 BCG. This is important because we want our 9mm’s to be able to run the Fostech Echo 2 trigger. The Echo 2 requires an M16 cut for the trigger lock on the Echo 2 to operate. The trigger lock has 2 main functions: Prevents the trigger from being pulled without the BCG in battery, and in line with that, the trigger lock will prevent “hammer follow”. In summary, the ARG 9mm BCG keeps all your doors open for all the extra components you’ll want to add to your build. Fully compatible Law Tactical folding stock adapters, and JP’s Silent Capture springs. We back our BCG’s with the same warranty and guarantee as all our products: If you tear up, we’ll fix it or give you a brand new one!

Thank you for the review Sir! Who manufactured your lower receiver? I get calls all the time from people with issues on their colt lowers, it would be nice to be able to relay that information along to other folks. We are grateful for your business, please let us know if there is anything we can do for you in the future!

I am using a CMMG colt style dedicated lower a YHM 9mm buffer weighing 4.5 oz. backed by a ar 15 carbine spring in a KAK Inds. pistol tube with a shockwave blade. My upper is an Anderson receiver and a 8 in. KAK Inds. 8 in barrel. It’s pretty much a Frankenstein gun, but so far it is running fine and a lot of fun.

That’s awesome brother. Franken-builds are some of the best runners. Regardless of what these internet “gurus” say. Thanks again for the positive feedback.

Been looking online for about 3 months for a new ar9 bcg that will accommodate all my needs.
I have a psa ar9 that had a hybrid ar9 bcg. The hybrid ar9 bcg will not work with the law tactical folding adapter. Seen this bcg and said 100% it will work, so worth the try. yes it works 100% with law tactical and psa lowers.
Also, i have a franklin arms gen 2 drop in style binary trigger in my ar15 5.56. I also seen this bcg work with binary. Again. Said it would 100%
So now i have to buy… well shipping is flawless. So fast, i installed my law tactical folder. Works great. Installed my binary in my psa ar9 from my 5.56 ar.
Did not work. Hammer would fall. But no strike. So. I put my old ar9 trigger back in. And works flawless.
All in all, worth the buy forsure. But wish my gen 2 binary worked. Thanks guys! Great bcg.

I bought this for my brigade 9mm to use with a fostech echo 2 and it works flawlessly. I have nothing but good things to say about ARG. The customer service is amazing and products are great.
