The MAT-9 was designed for maximum weight reduction, a slim profile, and compatibility with bolt catches and lower receivers, according to Matador Arms. It is comprised of anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, nitride steel bolt and action parts, and a lightweight 7.825\u201d nitride threaded barrel. The upper is compatible with Last Round Bolt Hold Open, or LRBHO, lower receivers.<\/p>\n

The MAT-9 can be configured in two different ways: Native mode and Conversion mode. The Native mode runs with double-stack magazines. In the Conversion mode, the AR-15 lowers require a Mag-X magazine conversion kit to make it work with double-stack magazines. In either mode, the MAT-9 will work with almost all 9mm magazines. The magazine conversion kit is required on some Glock and Sig Sauer models, like the Glock 17, Glock 19, and Sig Sauer P320.<\/p>\n

According to Matador Arms, the upper is built with a tapered 4-piece trunnion system made from different materials to keep mechanical accuracy and durability. Rounding out some other features for the MAT-9 is a non-reciprocating ambidextrous steel charging handle, NATO 1913 top rail, and M-LOK slots on both sides and bottom.<\/p>\n

The Matador Arms MAT-9 is compatible with side-fold buttstocks and has a patent-pending Easy Take-down System (EZTS). The EZTS means that the upper doesn\u2019t require any tools for breaking it down making it easier for maintenance or cleaning.<\/p>\n

While there is no word on overall weight or length, that information will probably be readily available after SHOT Show 2023. The MAT-9 complete 9mm upper from Matador Arms is available now with a price tag of $600.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
