Working with a new FFL 7 to build a SSE AR9, since it doesn't have a gas system I'm curious what others have done to make it a single shot. Is it as simple as blocking the magwell?
 
Depends on the lower and how it is setup/ milled.

Juggernaut Tactical AR9 Pistol (Glock Mag pattern) uses a single shot sled fixed to the receiver. In order to convert it to semi, you need to remove the “Mag Release Button” (which is actually a fixed button, does not function) and pull single shot sled out. Discard parts removed.

Then you need to purchase the actual mag release with spring from JT and install it. Now you can use Glock mags (10 rounders) and the JT lower has a built in mag lock that requires the action to be opened for mag release to work.
