AR Pistol build

[Derbel McDillet]

Physics. At around 353 ft/lbs its well within 9mm specs for ft/lbs. And I've got 30 of them to dispatch.

It's the amount of physical damage (trauma) the bullet produces, not the amount of kinetic energy it possesses. It may very well produce .22 LR caliber sized holes if the bullets are not impacting with enough velocity to upset.

M855 green tip earned such a negative reputation for stopping power, when shot at rifle velocities, that the Army switched bullets regardless of the fact that soldiers have "30 of them to dispatch".

Yeah, it's a lil heavy but it actually works. All my ARs are fitted with medium contour barrels, including my AR pistol, which I CCW.

Your AR pistol is your CCW?
OWB, IWB or appendix?

Starting to consider a "pistolized Mk 18", sine the real thing would be NFA. Debating whether to go with 5.56 Mk 262s, or go or just a "Mk 18 Inspired" build in .300BLK...

Have an M4gery, and if I can figure out how to end-run ITAR and find a source that'll ship Canadian parts to the US a C8A3 clone, and possibly a no-ITAR homebrew Bundeswehr HK416 knockoff, to build first, though.

So you doubt the AR round's effectiveness from a pistol length barrel but you CCW one? OK.

Got my upper and finished it off. I will say the BCG has a nice long scratch in it, but for the price I'll live with it.

To be honest, I almost bought a Diamondback DB-15 pistol. But frankly, the cost of it was $729 with BGC and ZERO sites. I'm into this one about the same WITH the Vortex and the BUIS. So I figure I assembled the lower and saved a few bucks. And she doesn't look half bad either.

What are the sights? I like the looks.

Vortex Strikefire II red/green dot and UTG Pro BUIS. They 1/3 co-witness perfectly.

I have that vortex on another rifle, I like it allot. I will check out the UTG Pro BUIS. Thank you

 

[Kruel J]

They are less money than Magpul, and all metal. I'll see how they hold up over time.

Where did you get them? Do you by chance have a weblink for the set?

Same set, different seller. I can't vouch for the seller I linked to but the price and reviews are right.

Dunno if this'll help, but I'd assume a pistol build calls for light weight and I found a thread all about part weights on ARFCOM while looking for something else.

In my case, the one I posted above is my first pistol. If I come to like it, then I'll start thinking about building another that's light. If I pursued, Faxon would be my first stop.
