    OK, what's the legality of building an AR pistol? Anything I need to be aware of? Does it have to have a front grip and made an AOW?

    If you attach a front grip, you must make it an AOW first. If you have no front grip and/or stock attached you're fine. Just make sure you build it from a stripped "virgin" receiver and you should be good to go. This is how I understand the law, others may chime in with more info.

    My 300 BLKOUT upper will very very similar to this. Same rail but 1" longer.

    I've picked up a few parts to start this build (RR pistol tube, Stark grip with single point sling) but am still fuzzy about the legality of it; aren't AR pistols considered variants of the Bushmaster AR pistol, and therefore a no go?

    NO. End of story. The Bushmaster was NOT an AR. Bushmaster DID NOT make an AR pistol when the law was passed.
