    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.
    very nice. have an upper just like this waiting for a build...

    Is there a thread about the rules of pistols? Can't find one...the erwos SB281 FAQ thread had some strange commentary on pistols.

    Max barrel length for a MD pistol? I know that the ballistics on 11.5 are better than that of 10.5. Are any 11.5s legal as a MD pistol? Or maybe OLA is what governs.

    Also, it seems like I see every AR upper under the sun but I thought pistols had to be on a roster or something. Especially as it relates to ak's.

    Basically, I'm trying to find the longest barrel / highest quality AK I can configure legally as a pistol in MD.

    AFAIK, No max or minimum barrel length for pistols. The deal with pistols is, if it has a bbl shorter than 16'', it either has to be a pistol or SBR. If you buy a ''pistol'' already built, you need an HQL in Md. If you build an AR pistol(or AK pistol for that matter), or any 80% pistol, you don't need an HQL. No roster for a 'homegrown' pistol. IANAL

    I just finished my build, what are you guys using for a case for them ?

    No need for a case...just holster it!

    :lol2: :lol: I'm not sure I own a belt that would hold this up though.

    I mostly use a backpack for the 7.5 and a Midway discreet case for the 10.5-11.5". The rectangular cases don't scream rifle case as much as some others.

    Until the Form 1's returned, I reckon she qualifies as a AR-pistol

    Thank You, I am very happy with it. I have swapped out the standard buffer with an H3 Buffer for the added weight and added $2.25 in Quarters to the buffer tube to shorten the bolt travel. I was unaware of the possibility of breaking the bolt stop.

    Time to take it back to the range and see if the recoil impulse is a little more comfortable. I can say I was surprised with the amount of recoil from this pistol.
