Anyone have a pic of a 7.5"/pig pistol next to a 10.5"/A2? From what I figured, they should be pretty darn close in length...appealing to the practical side of me (little angel on my right shoulder saying "get the 10.5", it's more practical and offers better ballistics). Whereas the "hur-dur" teenager side of me (little devil sitting on my left shoulder saying ("F, that Bub! Get a 7.5" blaster! It's a pistol after all, and that little thing would be ****!).

Why not do both?

I built out my first pistol using this 10.5" upper from PSA and I have no complaints given the low price. My next will be a 7.5" from scratch.

Great, now I have a 17 y.o. devil on both shoulders.....

You just need to tell yourself that its important to have both. The 10.5" for Monday - Thursday and the 7.5" for the weekends. Makes sense to me! :innocent0

Why stop at 7.5? Build a 5" pistol in 9mm so you can retain decent ballistics.

Lucca1 · Jul 27, 2014

Tons of fun! CMMG trigger and pistol grip will be the first things to go.

Alphabrew · Jul 27, 2014

Just put 20 rounds through my new build, ran right as rain! Love this little bastard! Just need some sights and I'd like to get a quad rail for it. Just a PSA 12" upper w/PSA BCG and CH on a PSA lower with CMMG parts kit. Phase 5 tactical buffer with Sig brace. This is the Phase 5 buffer designed for the Sig brace.

My pistol build is on the way.

Anderson lower
Aero upper
Most likely a Rainier force 12" rail
Primary Weapons CQB muzzle device
Hex 2 tube
SB15 brace
K2 grip
ALG ACT trigger

Still need to decide on a barrel.

Trumpet · Jul 29, 2014

Trying to decide on a pistol barrel here....

Aero Precision 7.5" nitrided
Seekins 8" SS
KAK 8" SS

Granted the AP is a lot less $ and the Seekins and KAK are stainless/Wylde. Seekins is 1:8, KAK is 1:7.

I prefer a 5.56 chamber. It's a pistol, you're not exactly going for accuracy so why bother with .223 or Wylde?

Good point. I just wish there was something (other than the impossible to find Noveske) between 7.5" and 10"

Midway has the Noveskes and Daniel Defense on 'Backorder OK' status; of course the Noveske barrels are backordered til May of next year, but the DD is supposed to in stock next month.

I must have been extremely lucky finding the noveske 7.5 diplomat barrel on the rainier arms site recently.

I checked the next day and they were sold out and have been since.

I know folks had security concerns with the rainier site. I have had no issues with my bank account since ordering,and they have one hell of a selection of barrels.

Well, since Maryland State Police gave us permission (funny we had to ask for permission) to buy lowers again, I've decided I can't take staring at others' pistols all day and I'm going to do one myself.

Right now I'm going to just buy the basics and everything else will be looked into over time. Keep in mind this will be a budget conscious build.

Lower: Anderson Manufacturing forged lower

Upper: have a stripped AERO laying around unused since UWone77 got me a CMT billet from the last giveaway

Handguard: will do some shopping around, but I really love my Rainier FORCE, so it may be a 12" FORCE

SB15 brace (sig is having an awesome promotion right now, $125 shipped for the brace and a free $130 rifle bag with it)

Buffer assembly: phase 5 hex2 complete setup

Trigger: likely a ALG ACT

LPK: shop around til I find a decent deal on one without a grip and FCG, likely buy the parts separately at a gun show.

Grip: Magpul K2

BCG: another one of those things I'll shop around on. Not too cheap but find a good deal.

Barrel: Need advice on this one. I guess I'm going the 10.5-11.5" route, but need some input on the best "bang for my buck"

Muzzle device: not too sure on this one either, but I'm leaning the Noveske kx3 route, but I do really like that new Primary Weapons CQB muzzle device too.

Optics: Primary Arms red dot, or I'll move my Vortex Sparc off my 14.5" and put a 1-4 on that rifle.

That should pretty much be a complete rifle with the exception of some odds and ends trinkets that I can add later. Interested to hear you guys thoughts.

Funny how the tables have turned. I was told last summer before the ban that I wasn't allowed to build a pistol (which was BS) and now I'm being told explicitly that I have to build a pistol or HBAR.

Nah, I mean the Noveske "Navy" 8.5" barrel.

Looking good guys. You just cant beat a AR pistol.

I see you have the accessory plug in that hex2 package. That plug is extremely tough to get out once installed, I put some fire clean on mine which helped a little but, not much.

Alrighty,
SB15 on hand
BCM BCG on hand
LPK on hand
Aero lowers in "jail"
Aero uppers inbound
Aero 7.5" barrel inbound
Spikes gas tube and pistol buffer kit inbound
Odin works gas block inbound
Hayes Research HK style BUIS inbound

Now, would I be a total masochist by going with an A2 or brake of FH like the SFMB or AAC? I've also seen these PWS CQB knockoffs, ACI Revolution for like $90..

http://androcorpind.com/product/aci-revolution-5-56-nato/

I'm thinking maybe a Viking tactics 7", Spikes SAR 7", MI SSG2, or SLR 8" (if I go with a longer "can" style").

Thoughts?

Sounds sick, I like that revolution too. Hopefully it works for you as advertised for that price, higher than a KX5
