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

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

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.
Furniture and Controls (FC): This builds upon the Enhanced Mil-Spec finish level with improved interfaces with the weapon system and some targeted functional improvements. This finish level will work great for most people and should be the goal for upgrades to the Enhanced Mil-Spec AR.

Below, you will find the appropriate platform components to build an AR-9 pistol 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-15 platform, you may need additional or different components.
