Pugio-9 Furniture and Controls Upper
$1,518.40 – $1,568.40Price range: $1,518.40 through $1,568.40
The Pugio-9FC (Furniture and Controls) is our upgraded model in the AR-9 pistol series.
The FC upper receiver builds upon the EM upper, with upgrades to the charging handle and muzzle device. The result is an upper with the inherent reliability of our Enhanced Mil-Spec model, with substantial upgrades to the controls and interfaces of the upper receiver.
Assembled in the USA using parts manufactured in the USA.
Description
Our uppers are assembled by SOTAR-trained master armorers in North Carolina using components manufactured exclusively in the USA.
The Spatha-9FC retains the following features of the EM model:
- Aero Precision EPC Enhanced Upper Receiver
- The Aero EPC upper has the best combination of features, quality, and value for a dedicated PCC. It offers unlimited potential for a build.
- Barrel: Ballistic Advantage 8.3″ Straight Profile, 4150 CroMoV, QPQ Barrel, 9mm Luger
- Bolt: Cryptic Coatings Phosphate PCC Bolt
- Cryptic Coatings makes the best and most affordable PCC bolts. The phosphate bolt is the equivalent to the Mil-Spec BCG in the AR-15.
The FC model includes the following upgrades to the EM model:
- Charging Handle: Radian Raptor Ambidextrous Charging Handle
- Few people will scoff at the Raptor. Radian makes the best ambidextrous charging handle on the market.
- Muzzle Device: VG6 Gamma 9mm Muzzle Brake/Compensator
- The VG6 Gamma is a short, light, low-profile device that helps manage the recoil and muzzle rise. The result is better control of your pistol, especially when held in one hand.
Critical finishes and dimensions of individual components are inspected before we accept them into inventory. To learn more about our quality control gauging and inspection, visit our Quality Promise page.
Each upper receiver includes the following assembly and QC steps (full schedule of all 82 points of inspection for our builds can be found in our Quality Promise page; note that some do not apply to the PCC):
- Barrel extension and barrel nut threads lubricated with AeroShell 64 grease.
- Barrel nut exercised and torqued to 55 ft. lbs. (EPC Enhanced Upper).
- Barrel muzzle threads coated with Molykote G anti-seize (for muzzle devices that use a crush washer or lock nut).
- Flash hider properly timed and torqued to 10-20 ft. lbs.
- VibraTite VC3 applied to handguard screws and screws torqued to 25 in-lbs.
- Full lubrication with our own lubricant blend per our standard procedure.
- Full safety and function check per our standard procedure.
- Live fire test with 3 rounds of Federal 147gr (troubleshoot and correct root cause of any malfunction).
The tables below detail what we put in the upper and what you are paying.
