Poll: AR Pistol Barrel Length

[clearconscience]

There's another for around $150 new. But I thought it was only for a 9mm.
Maybe I'm wrong.

I know I did not get a carrier when I bought the tube.

My 7.5" barreled rifle

is that considered a pistol? I have been looking for the right setup and don't want the brace or shockwave. can you shoulder it, how does this work?

It works by filling out the NFA paperwork and sending the BATFE $200, waiting close to a year... then yes you can shoulder it.

What he said.

10.5" Definately! Mk18 Clones are the shizzle! Just finished one and I couldn't be happier with it!

 

[JackFrost]

10.5" MASTER RACE!

Unless you can tolerate the end of the buffer tube digging into your shoulder every time you squeeze the trigger.

I have two pistol upper receivers. A 7.5" Rainer barrel in 5.56 and an 8.5 Noveski in 6.8 SPC. They both function well. I haven't wished for longer barrels. If I did I would use a rifle.

No option for both?

I've got one in each size.

The 7.5" makes dirt come up of the ground from being fired while standing.

The 10.5 is likely more practical for less loss of fps. The smaller 7.5 makes for a very compact set up.

I voted 10.5 out of the given choices.

I used to have a 7.5" 5.56 with a kx3, and it worked fine. I got rid of it for no particular reason.

A few days ago I assembled a 12.5" pistol that I will probably sbr. Haven't shot it, yet.

I plan to put together a really short 9mm (or maybe 300BLK) with a folding Shockwave brace as a "backpack gun".

.223 / 5.56 = 10.5 barrel for my Ar-Pistol. That was the minimum length where my suppressor warranty would still be valid. Never had any issues with it, runs well with just about everything.

.300blk = 12" and 10.5".
No issues yet.

What do you have on the end of the barrel of the 7.5? Both the 10.5 and 7 inch have the Troy
Claymore liner comp and do very well pushing blast and noise forward.

This is the Warden's 8.5" it has a Kaw Valley Precision Linear Compensator and is very handy. You can get the Compensator direct for $55 Black or $65 FDE or about $10 less from JoeBobs Outfitters (a real Name) They are on this page somewhere

Geez, I count at least 7 different colors/shades there. It's nice, but I think I'd like it better as a two-tone.

I would be glad to change the offending colors if you just provide the parts.

If it works it works, no prejudice for rifle colors from me. Good looking rifle!

Too late, they're already on my M400.

Hey, I said it was nice gun...

It does work well, even rapid fire, it has a Auto reset feature...that I think I need on another rifle, not hers!
