Was this just an upper conversion kit? Or you purchase the whole rifle?
Be interested in the ballistics of the weapon. I'm looking at a full AR 9mm rifle & a 5.7 conversion kit for the AR.

Ever wonder why massacres never happen at a gun range??

I purchased all the parts from Spikes and put it together myself. The ammo costs are significantly lower thus making the fun-factor even that much greater.

I've heard these 9mm ARs are pretty accurate out to at least 100 yards. Interesting.

Do they have the Magpul B.A.D. on them?

No, just a standard bolt release tab. I ordered the Magpul MOE front handguard but other than that I like my rifles pretty basic.

I am expecting accuracy on a silhouette target out to at least 150 yards. This rifle is just so fun to shoot and the minimal recoil and noise is like shooting a .22. I am glad I finally took the plunge and built this rifle, it has already become a favorite and it has only been around for a few days.

It was hard to tell in the pic. I only ask because I've ordered one and am looking for some feed back.
Yours look great. And the 9mm sounds really fun.

Sweet rig man! I love Spikes! I have been thinking about a conversion kit as well. People might argue, but I have looked at several lowers and Spikes always look the best with fit and finish.
The Ruger MKIII 22/45 is the worst handgun in history to take apart, but is one of the funnest to shoot...

I have an AR, so I already have the Ferrari but lately can't afford the gas and insurance. The 9mm gives me all the fun at 20% of the ammo cost. I am now accumulating the parts to build a dedicated .22 AR (Spikes of course) and look forward to even cheaper tactical shooting practice. .03 cents per shot makes me very happy. 
BTW: My FFL gave me everything at dealer cost so the rifle came in around $900

Looks good. My friend had a colt 9mm back years ago and liked it. Spikes makes some nice stuff too.
