See more Firearms Industry & New Gun News on The Gun Bulletin!
A self-contained upper receiver chambered in 9mm, the BRN-9 is blowback operated, runs suppressed or unsuppressed without adjustment, and fits onto any standard AR-15 or BRN-180 lower receiver.
Because the upper does not require a buffer assembly, it readily functions with a folding stock as an SBR or with no stock at all as a pistol. For 9mm SBR configuration, all NFA rules apply.
- The BRN-9 is compatible with both 9mm-only lowers and common 9mm magazine well adapters, including those for Glock, Sig, Colt, CZ Scorpion and MP5 magazines.
- The upper retains bolt catch functionality and works with last round bolt hold open lowers. The non-reciprocating charging handle can be switched to either side.
- The barrel is 5.5” long and has 1/2″x28 muzzle threads. Integral Picatinny rail makes it easy and simple to mount optics or sights.
