Cons:
  • None

Stern Defense SD BU9 bolt carrier

by weldr123, Verified Owner from AL, United States Written on May 21, 2025
I purchased this bolt carrier and paired it with a Stern Defense MAG-AD9 AR-15 Glock 9mm/.40 Magazine Conversion Adapter. I just didn't like the Colt magazines or the Colt style conversion block. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and would buy it again.
Pros:
  • plug and play
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Good products

by Joey, from ID, United States Written on March 7, 2024
I m doing an ar9 build and needed a bcg for it . My friend suggested optics planet . I purchased a stem defense SD bu9 . I haven’t shot mine yet but I did try my friend’s it fired flawlessly that’s why I decided to purchase it. Seems to be high quality and a fair price.
