I figure a built-out AR lower is about $150 and I haven't found a 9mm upper in the $300-$350 range. (The ones I've found are over double that.)

Gotta say, 9mm carbines are fun. Even funner with a working happy switch (buddy has 2 of 'em), especially when steel plate racks are involved.
Still think buying/building a AR-9 is the way to go.

Cheap free float tube w/ barrel nut, etc. on ebay for $40.
So just about $500 ...
PSA also has a complete glock mag 9mm AR "pistol" w/ "arm brace" for $500 right now as a SHOT show special.
