That’s awesome John. CMMG should give you a commission when I eventually stop waffling and buy one.

This could be you. :lol:

What are the differences in the 100,200, 300 series?

John from MD · Jul 8, 2020

As far as I can tell, the differences lie with the furniture and barrel length.

You can always build your own, that’s what I did. Buy the barrel/bolt combo and then finish it as you wish.
They are indeed soft shooting and run well on a standard spring/buffer setup.

Well, mine is working on its third thousand ( I put 200 through it yesterday) and, with the exception of not liking my light 120gn reloads, it is shooting just fine. Yesterday the ammo I used was Lee 125 gn RN lubed with XLOX instead of P/C to see if it would lead when it gets hot. No leading at all and, when I pulled it apart, I found it to be extremely clean. As most of you know, blowback guns really get dirty. This one is almost as clean as a piston action.

I could see plenty of smoke from the XLOX (the wind was behind me) but the test went perfectly. This way I know I don't have to PC bullets for this gun which will save me some work. While PC is clean, it is also a pain when you are coating bullets for seven calibers.

I know I'm late to the party, but I just decided that a PCC as you call it is the way that I want to go. First I was thinking AR-15 but the 16-in barrel requirement in Maryland it's just too big for my property. And I figured the 9mm will be cheaper. I am very new to guns in general and definitely to this type. I've started to look around to where I could purchase one and the actual cmmg site is the only place I found for sale. Didn't see one under 1700. And I'm not sure what all the models do. So if you're still around any help would be appreciated. I'm also searching YouTube videos. Edit the 8-in is what I was leaning towards.

Bolt/barrel will run $400 from CMMG. Then a 9mm Glock lower and standard AR parts will finish it up.

If you are looking to build a simple blowback PCC, you can make it a lot cheaper than the Banshee. The Banshee cost more due to the Radial Delayed blowback system. A direct blowback build is much cheaper.

The radio delayed is one of the features that I want, I don't know enough to build one. And since YouTube doesn't allow building videos I don't know where I would find the information to do so. Where do you suggest that I look to buy and or where did you get yours. I've looked at a few comparison reviews in the banshee is usually the best middle ground. I've seen a full polymer one something like Extar ep9 I think it was called which was around $400. It didn't look durable. Thanks for the reply I did find one place online but it stated not sellable to Maryland. I don't know why but it was a 5 inch

Where would I find the necessary information on how to accomplish this?

Basically everything, I've never built anything and this would be my second firearm. And it seems as though online even if I find what I'm looking for it always has more than the ******* 10 capacity, and they won't remove the mags to make it shippable half the time. So I would like to know where I could find the completed gun for Maryland use. But also I'm interested in having to build it cuz it looks like maybe I have too?

There are tons of people here willing to help you build. If you want a pre-built gun, talk to your friendly neighborhood gun shop. They can receive 30 round mags

That would be United and they don't have any and they say that they cannot pin the magazines, What online store would you suggest I start looking for the parts? I guess I need a parts list as well

I've been reading too many 'your' for you are here lately. I think I'm catching their disease.

Ok. Let’s talk about what exactly you want.

9 mm, 8 inch, the banshee 300 type features , ambi controls, cheap mags so thinking about the Glock 33 rounders or 15 17 will do, I guess what your previous post was saying about an upper and a Glock lower with the AR parts. For compatibility I hope that's what you were looking for

You mentioned a bolt and barrel previously from cmmg would run 400. What I'm seeing are uppers for 949. But you didn't mention an upper you just mentioned the lower so I'm not sure what I'm looking for
