@@SofaKingTouge never even noticed that til right now 😂 Now I’m trying to remember what that even is

@@rutrutbella600 prisms are a game changer for our old eyes for sure. The Swampfox Raider has been really good so far for me

@@rutrutbella600 it can definitely fit MBUS, they would just look a little tall due to the rail being a little more raised than a typical upper receiver

@@vilo3454 thanks 😂 I guess I have my speech & debate teacher to thank for that.

@@Jammaster1972 where’s the fun in that???

There’s a group on Facebook that’s pretty active. There’s another on Reddit that is fairly tame, for Reddit standards 😂

@@comeoutandpla whats the facebook groups name? im having trouble finding it.

I can’t say for sure as I haven’t held the newest gen EP9, but seeing the pictures it doesn’t look so different that the comp shouldn’t work. As long as the barrel threads extend past the hand guard, it should work fine I would think

It worked pretty well. I have tried a few and they perform pretty much the same give or take. I did really like the Strike Industries Oppressor the most

​​@@comeoutandplaI finally got out yesterday and tried the new linear comp. Im not sure how much different it functions in comparison to this 1 since mine is just the 3 inch but wow did it it function amazingly! It sounded like half a silencer! Maybe because i only drilled the exit hole to 11 or 12mm. So it didn't leave much room for the gas to pass right through. Thanks for the video and I'm going to look up that safety and trigger now

He was taking a leak....

Mine has held up through at least a couple thousand rounds

No problem. I’m going to make an updated version at some point with a few more add ons

@@comeoutandpla Awesome, I will keep an eye out! Just ordered the Holosun Hs510c for mine. I think it will be a perfect match. 🤞 lol

@@gregbeck906 that’s what I currently have mounted and it’s fantastic

@@comeoutandplaoh really! What color illumination did you get? I got the red because that is all I know/have used.

@@gregbeck906 I have the red as well. I’ve tried green optics and I just don’t think the extra money is worth it and I opinion. But I know some people that say they really help if you have any kind of stigmatism.

I’m not sure I would have changed much. Maybe tried a binary trigger…I don’t know if the LAW adapter was out when I got this but I’m going to add that on at some point

@@comeoutandpla what's the law adapter?

www.epaftermarket.com/shop

It would for the original. It just wouldn’t re a recessed as mine

It’s a pretty good safe. I think it’s on sale too for like $135 which is about what I paid for a Hornady Rapid full size. Both have awesome springs on the doors

Mine worked but could bump fire very easily so I ended up removing it. As for pins, the best option I found for the needed length were the Strike Industry anti walk pins. There just long enough to compensate for the extra width of the EP9 lower

@@comeoutandpla the hammer antiwalk pin (cmc) has enough length and the trigger antiwalk pin is a hair too long. I can bump that pin on my belt sander to take that tiny bit of length out. I used a pick on the end of the hammer pin (port side) and pulled the 1/32 while tapping it in the otherside. It's not a crazy amount of tension but I'm Not sure how i feel about running it like that. Edit: I have a cmc pcc 3.5 ar9 in now. Same 1/32 issue on Hammer pin (could be just my ep9 or cmc is making triggers for psa). I could polish the front of the drop in housing to fix it ...but A little 1/32 spring tension shouldn't hurt anything. It functions perfectly on snap caps. Ill report back when i get some range time in.

It’s not difficult. Basically you have a screw in the QD cup in the rear and then there’s one under the part that is covering the upper receiver when it’s installed. Once you remove the upper, youll see it tucked up under there

I totally agree. This was more an exercise of how far I could customize it. At its base, it’s incredibly lightweight which is a huge plus. Had I bought the latest gen, I probably would have left at least the rail alone, but that original one just wasn’t great for my liking

I’ve always had an Expo Arms 8.1oz buffer with just a normal carbine spring. The biggest thing to remember is that you cannot use the OEM buffer tube with a standard buffer weight. It will damage their tube because there are bumpers they use in the factory configuration. Without the bumper, the bolt will basically beat the back of the tube and crack it. So if you do go with a regular AR buffer weight, use a milspec buffer tube. It will require the Farrowtech buffer tube adapter or something similar because Extar uses a proprietary system and only accepts their buffer tube

Thank you!

For the money you can’t beat that Hi Point carbine. Especially in 10mm

Looks into the sob brace. They seem to have a little more length are are available via extar. I prefer them to the fin or sba brace.

It’s about 2.5 EP9’s worth 😂

It’s a pretty versatile platform. Just be cautious about the bolt and spring if you decide to alter them

Think I'll probably leave the bolt alone, but I'll probably go to that flat buffer spring after changing out the tube, buffer, and brace. All the rest sounds very solid!

Just curious, when you decided to change out the handguard, was that because you had the first gen guard?

From what I’ve seen the Gen 2 has the better rail and I believe a new grip. But I haven’t handled one yet. It’s still the same price which is good if they did upgrade parts of the gen 1 design

The phase 5 does allow the lrbho to function normally

@@comeoutandpla Thank you very much. 👍🙂

@@dbw843 no problem! And as I mentioned in the video, try to stick with the v2 or v3 levers as the clamp on or 2 piece levers won’t function at all.

First for the safety…I used the standard version of the safety and it just took some breaking in but not a lot. Second, with the buffer I have set up I’ve only shot 150 syntech through it and it ran great. And the trigger I have allows for very rapid fire and to this point I haven’t experienced any malfunctions. As always, your mileage may vary….but I would assume 147 grain should be good to go. The only variable would be how your EP9 handles hollow points. I know mine has run a small number of HST’s well, but it hates the sig vcrowns. So as long as you’ve tested the federal for feeding, I think you’d be good to go running them suppressed assuming you have a similar buffer system as mine. Maybe even stock buffer as well, I just haven’t tested anything suppressed with extars spring and buffer weight

Thank you so much for your very quick and detailed response. I'm trying to read the reviews on that ambi safety to see if it is reversible. I shoot left-handed. I am right-handed but I am left eye dominant. So I shoot all long guns left-handed. I just got my EP9 about 3 or 4 days ago. Lol I have not had a chance to shoot it yet but I already had the can and the ammo. I just need to take it out to the range and see how reliable it is. I have the Gen 2 of course, and I don't really like the little blade brace that came with it. I want something that I can adjust and something that will have a QD mount on it. I'm just afraid that if I change it out it would change the felt recoil and reliability. Thank you again for your quick response. Debbie

I don’t know about the Fostech but I’m almost certain the Franklin armory has worked. Check for videos tho or even the Facebook or Reddit groups

@@comeoutandpla Thanks I have been lookin at one of these for a few months now. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet?

@@Slaughterhouse_Floor is say for the money, it’s a hell of a deal. Probably one of my favorite guns I own. It’s super lightweight, very minimal felt recoil and it’s super reliable.

The red dot is the bushnell rx100 I believe. It’s their $99 optic and it’s decent for the price. No frills like shake awake, but it holds zero. The flip up sights are Midwest industries or Troy barrel sights (I don’t recall) and they are the low profile HK style. The standard version of these sights for like AR’s are too tall in my opinion for this platform

Oh, and welcome to the family!

Thank you

I haven’t looked into the gym to a whole lot but I did notice that they put a much better handguard on it

Yup, it’s a compensator from strike industries

Mine took a little bit but that was when he first came out with them and production was slow. I’d reach out to them and maybe see if they are behind

I did not because it raised the trigger body too far. Sounds weird i know….but it couldn’t install with the plate

@@comeoutandpla thanks for the info.

I’ve heard rumors but I’ve also heard rumors of the 10mm Extar for a few years now

I don’t have a FRT but from what I’ve been told, the 9mm bolt isn’t compatible

Technically you’re attaching a milspec tube to the farrowtech adapter so that’s still a point of failure before you get to the frame. I know Extar is super against anything that modifies the design and I get why. But I also think they would benefit working with those modding the design and make it as safe as allowable 🤷‍♂️

Unless you are referring to just replacing the buffer and using their tube. In which case, I would agree with them entirely. I don’t see any point to replacing the buffer if you are using they OEM tube

@@comeoutandpla just talking only about zr tactical retainer plate. Even with proprietary buffer.

@@clinteastwood666 I got you. Then yes that advice from them would be valid in theory

@@comeoutandpla this is exactly what I read from another users comment just want to share insight with the community. “I asked Extar about the plastic buffer retainer they DO NOT RECOMMEND replacing with steel ZR. ( Rip off of over 20$ anyways for small steel part anyways ). Plastic buffer retainer is designed to be a failure point which saves your polymer frame from any damage if there is a failure. Moving to steel makes polymer frame new weak point. Only time plate is under pressure is when frame is disassembled. It is not under any pressure when assembled because bolt rides slightly inside the tube depressing buffer and spring slightly. Your preference? But Extar should send out new plastic buffer retainers upon request supposedly. “ Thanks for responding btw

I switched the buffer to an expo arms 8oz buffer. I know I kept saying bolt for some reason, but i meant buffer. You cant keep the OEM buffer when you use a milspec tube because of the fact that the Extar buffer has a plastic shell on it and their tube had a pad or some type of cushion for it to bounce against. With the milspec tube, the plastic on their buffer will crack. There are a few examples in the FB EP9 group of people finding that out the hard way. I would recommend a PCC style buffer. I have heard people having success with as low as 6oz, but the OEM buffer is about 7.5 so I wanted to stay close to that number which is why I chose the 8oz one

Thank you very much. I really like how it all came together.

@@comeoutandpla No problem man. I've have my eye on one of these for quite a few years now. Just haven't "pulled the trigger" on it yet. Mostly because I want it to look more like an AR9. And I think you've done exactly that.

It’s a pin and I’m pretty sure I just reused the original one. As for screw in, the only receiver I’ve don’t that with is the aero m4e1 that has the set screw by design. Not sure what size it is or what you’d need but if the EP9 is built around mil spec parts, maybe see if there’s a place to get the set screw aero uses or at least get the size they use

If it’s mlok or get a pic rail from Magpul or the like that mounts to mlok

@@comeoutandpla thanks

You could try the law folder or sylvan arms but I’d have no idea if it’s compatible with the farrowtech adapter

I, and my dog, know what I said 😂
