Now that you’ve selected the carbine caliber (AR-9) class and platform, and have selected the AR-9 carbine, its time to choose a finish level and buy your kit.

We have curated two finish levels for the AR-9 carbine:

Enhanced Mil-Spec (E): This is the basic finish level and the starting point for the other levels. Everything meets the Mil-Spec, as applicable. This is a great starter gun and can be upgraded incrementally up to and beyond our highest finish level.
Duty and Competition (DC): This finish level offers the pinnacle of AR performance. In addition to the improvements of the Furniture and Controls finish level, the Duty and Competition finish level includes significant upgrades to the functioning systems of the AR. This finish level if designed for those who demand absolute performance and reliability.

Below, you will find the appropriate platform components to build an AR-9 carbine on the Aero Precision EPC platform.

Please note that the component kits on the following pages assume that you are building on the Aero Precision EPC platform. If you are building on another AR platform, you may need additional or different components.
