    Oh yeah.

    Not sure exactly how much.

    Thought about taking it to the Post office to accurately weigh, but....

    I'm thinking not a good idea. But hey if your near a drug house in Baltimore I'm sure they would be glad to lend out their scale to weigh it. Lol

    If you buy it, let me know if you want an 8" handguard. I have an extra one from another PSA upper. 2" may not seem like much, but it should make it a little more comfortable.

    On a related note, I really need a 10"-12" m-lok handguard that uses a standard milspec barrel nut. I have a 13.5" one that I can give in trade, or I'll just buy it. I have an upper that the handguard sticks out about 1/4" past the Flaming Pig. It shoots fine and is safe, but it looks stupid. I want a shorter handguard, but not enough to pay for a new one. :)

    I’ve been powder coating my 80% builds and have been pretty happy with the results. Here’s a recent AR pistol built up with some parts lying around. Color is “Silver Vein” from Eastwood. Had some initial issues with rounds not exiting but after reworking the extractor (replacement spring and o-ring) that’s now sorted. Surprisingly decent groups at 100 yards....plus amazing fireballs!

    I went old school A1 with this one. I purchased the complete Colt upper and Yankee Hill dedicated 9mm lower from A1 Uniform Sales. KAK Shockwave Blade Brace from KAK's website. I also picked up two original Colt 32 round magazines at the Chantilly gun show last week.

    This is what an AR pistol should look like. Had one like it built a while ago and took it apart. Got me thinking about another. Thanks for that.

    I sent you a PM about this longer hand guard.
    Thanks

    I suggest the sprinco buffer springs to folks also. I run the red spring with a spikes T2 buffer (7.5 barrel) still no malfunctions ever.
    Nice looking build!!

    TMGN is great about it. I asked to make sure shouldering the brace was acceptable after the ATF sent out that notice. They said "didn't care before. don't care now either. enjoy!"

    Did a 25 yard zero on mine there yesterday. No problem.
