My basic black AR-15

notagolfr · Jul 18, 2020

Finished building my corona AR pistol today and want to show it to people.
It's isn't too interesting like some of the other crazy stuff I've seen on here but it's my first AR build, except the upper was assembled.

BCM MK2 12.5" upper
Anderson lower
CMMG LPK
milspec trigger
Magpul MOE
Aimpoint PRO
SBA3 w/ splitfix

I think I kept it all MD/federally legal but someone please chime in if I went over/under on lengths...

28 5/16” brace collapsed to end of not permanently attached muzzle device
27 1/8” brace collapsed to end of barrel
30 15/16” brace extended to end of not permanently attached muzzle device
29 3/4” brace extended to end of barrel
28 1/4” end of buffer tube to end of not permanently attached muzzle device
27” end of buffer tube to end of barrel

Nice build!!

It's a pistol with a brace. No lengths matter.

That's racist

I thought there was something federally about >29" lengths but I'm having a hard time finding non-conflicting info.

Mine is a 10.5 with brace.

Nurp. What you're thinking of is not federal, it's Merryland, and only applies to SBRs. Not pistols.

OP, nice build. :thumbsup:

Gotta get me one of those law folders so it'll fit in my backpack!

Love them blasters, this one has a Colt 11.5 FBI/HRT Barrel and an SBA4 Brace, then a whole bunch of neat stuff (yes I love to shoot the irons).

Nice looking gun OP.

Is your 12.5” upper a carbine or mid length gas system? I’ve been reading up a lot on 12.5” barrels and the two different gas system lengths

calicojack · Jul 18, 2020

OP - I think that's a nice build. Now you need to do an eForm1 and SBR it :innocent0

Carbine length, it's a prebuilt upper

Yeah this brace isn't ideal! But I plan to keep it locked and loaded in my car, and afaik you can't do that with a rifle

I need to get some backup irons, but there's very limited supply in the current situation

My only concern is with the split fix. I wouldn’t go about modifying a brace in any way.

I was leaning towards the side of not altering function, it's still useable as a brace. The strap is actually longer so I can fit my massive arm guns inside

All the BCM 12.5 barrels are carbine gas. Some of them get an FSB at mid-length position to make a Kino config, but that's just the FSB, not a gas port.

Personally I think 12.5 is a bit short for mid-length gas. Lots of 12.5 barrels come with carbine gas so I suppose I'm not alone on that one.
