The “Carlos” Compact AR-9 PCC Lower Kit is the control-side half of Carlos’ compact Team Dream Build, built around a dedicated Glock-compatible AR-9 lower receiver and a recoil system selected for blowback 9mm use. The KynSHOT hydraulic buffer, KVP PCC XP spring, RAVE PCC trigger, ambidextrous safety, and upright grip give this lower the parts needed for a soft-shooting, fast-handling PCC setup. Paired with the matching Carlos upper, it keeps the build compact, fun, and very much in line with the custom employee rifle that inspired it.
