The riser?

Just put this on my AR pistol, Indian Creek blast forwarding device. Threaded twist on/off:

Though true, most people shooting a 5.56 pistol are not real concerned with velocity.

As the owner of an AR pistol, I agree. If I was looking for 3,000 FPS and 300+ meter accuracy, I would have purchased a rifle. However, I'm a range shooter and I like being able to break down my AR pistol and carry it in my range bag.

Yes, it looks out of place to me, but it's probably because I'm a newb.

It's not really a riser. It's a rail extension. I wanted to be able to have a minimalist gun with a long enough rail to mount a holographic sight with back up sights that are co-witnessed. I never use the foregrip (my support hand holds the mag and mag well), so I didn't want to add a foregrip with a rail. The slight elevation that the rail extension gives puts the sights in the perfect spot for how I hold the pistol. It works for me, and that's all that matters.

Well it's a little unusual,.but because in the picture it looks bent, rising upwards in the front. Camera angle ?

The support spar under the rail gets slightly thinner toward the end. That's why it appears to be bent.

I shoot my 7.5" AR pistol indoors all the time. I don't see what the fuss is. I don't notice the fireball everyone talks about. It isn't as loud as my .357 with a 4" barrel. I put 36 of 40 into a 6" circle at 25yds with a red dot and rapid fire. It does exactly what I wanted it to when I decided to build one.

I like AR pistols; I have one. To be honest - I don't like indoor ranges in general. The AR pistol on the other hand is awesome.

A muzzle brake is punishing. A flash hider is a much better choice. And yes, double up on ear pro. Plugs and muffs.

It doesn't bother me. But then again, my recoil and blast sensitivity was fashioned by years with M16s, M60 machine guns, M3A1 sub-machine guns, and M-60A1 combat tanks.

I also agree about doubling up on hearing protection at an indoor range, regardless of what I'm shooting.

What do you use for ear plugs? Just regular foam ones for sleeping or custom molded ones from an audiologist.

I use Howard Leight 33db Super Leight USA plugs with 3M Peltor 26db active behind-the-head muffs on top.

It depends on how deaf you already are. In my case, lots of damage.

Biggfoot44 · Nov 5, 2017

But seriously, you already 2/3 deaf guys need to hang on to what you have left .

I ain't no Otolaryngologist.

I wear ear plugs all day at work running pneumatic guns. I started some 30 years ago(my first 10+ years don't count). Blew out both eardrums shooting somewhere in between. I am the poster child of hearing protection, believe me. All this crap about "this gun is too loud for this" is bunk. Get some well fitting ear pro and choot!

I wish I knew of indoor range in MD that lets you fire rifle caliber fire arms?

I routinely shoot 30-06 at NRA (Fairfax) and Gilberts (Rockville).

Are people still buying and building AR pistols.....I thought that fad ended a while ago.

I see a lot of folks building them still. This would be my first, not sure what to expect honestly.

I would expect building a rifle in the near future with what ever lower you use LOL
