MASTERPIECE ARMS
MPA AR9 PCC (Pistol Caliber Carbine)
MasterPiece Arms (MPA) has introduced the MasterPiece Arms AR9 PCC, designed by competition shooters for superior reliability and maximum accuracy and retains the familiar handling and controls of the AR platform. The MPA AR9 PCC lower receiver is compatible with the GLOCK-pattern magazines in 9mm. The new 7075 billet-machined aluminum receiver models also accept standard AR accessories like furniture, triggers, charging handles, buttstocks and optics and incorporate an integral trigger guard and flared magwell for fast reloading. Like all of its rifle products, MPA uses 416R SS Match-grade, button-rifled 1:10-inch twist 9mm barrels. These are hand-built precision instruments and not production components.
