So, I was gifted an Upper and Lower for Xmas.

Now, I must spends oodles of cash to make it into a work of art.

Now, I must spends oodles of cash to make it into a work of art.

Ideas, suggestions and visions of what I should build...

What’s the purpose of it? Serious home defense, hunting, range toy, cool caliber toy, long distance toy, or general purpose?

 

[GOPerfect]

Just another gun. No reason, no purpose. Just looking to make a fun build.

I am in the process of doing a retro build. Trying to build an M16A2 clone as close as possible. Got a "Property of U.S Govt M16A2" stamped receiver with "Safe, Semi, Burst" selector print. Next is upper config...plenty of A2 style uppers to choose from (fixed carry handle). Gotta have the M16 style foregrip and front sight. I have been eyeing an H&R complete M16 style upper with a 20" FN barrel. I guess they are just PSA built with H&R stampings. I would still change some things about it to have better authenticity. Choices, choices, choices.

Looking for a new round or want another that you already have?

 

[GOPerfect]

I will stick with 5.56/.223

Looking for a fun little thing. Thinking about a 14" barrel, cool paint scheme. An eye popper.

There are so many manufactures of the pieces and parts, barrels, triggers, handguards and the like. Searching for stuff is making me go blind.

Do you have a pistol yet? Go with a PDW brace, dot, and light. Make a nice HD gun, can even add a suppressor later. Make it a pink gun with unicorn mags, make fun of the guy that got smoked by a pink gun.

I do not have an AR pistol. I am not sure I understand the pieces and parts needed. I am, I think, pretty ignorant on the pistol AR thing, I am researching now.

Build something you can shoot regularly and enjoy, instead of another safe queen. There are good CMP matches in your area. They mostly shoot AR-15 service rifle. These are not difficult to build. 20" free-floated barrel, 4.5lb two stage trigger, 4.5x scope. Most of the parts are standard mil-spec. Course of fire is similar to good'al qualification course.

 

[Mosinitis]

There are some variations between different ranges and also reduced distance matches, but they run something like this.

 

[Podmonkey]

I think you should build what I would also like to build someday: A heavy bench pig of target rifle.

@GOPerfect

Whatever you build brother, build 2, and send one to me!

 

[dsdmmat]

Make it suppressor ready.

Without a doubt.

Wylde chamber and a side folding stock.

Okay, I cannot believe that I am asking this.....

What exactly is the difference between an SBR and an AR pistol.....

Stock vs brace is all, correct?

 

[dsdmmat]

Stock vs brace is all, correct?

And a 200 dollar tax stamp.

Okay... AR pistol is what it shall be. Never owned one before. 7.5 barrel or a 10"

 

[Brawny71]

I’ve mentioned a few times. Kali-key takes the first part of the AW clause out; makes it bolt/ manual action. You can have everything else. Fun to watch people at the range want to ask or even call to find out…..NYS compliant.

Inspite of what some may say or think, go with the 10"

 

[SomeSoldier]

I agree with this. If it was .300blk, I would say 7.5". Just make sure you stay within length requirements and no forward grips.

I have this brace on my .300blk pistol and I love it.

This build would also make a great truck gun.

10 or up to 14.5. 7s are way too loud.

 

[GOPerfect]

10 inches it shall be.....

 

[1075tech]

I went 10.5" on mine.

350 Legend though. Nice short woods Thumper.



ASR mount on the flash hider for the eventual 36M or Alaskan 360

Anything under a 10.3" requires careful thought and parts selection to get running right. It used to be that under that length reliability was always suspect but the market has responded with solutions. Nevertheless when going shorter than 10.3 you are on a non-standard, specialized path in terms of buffer weights, recoil springs and gas port specs. I would go with a 10.3 if you want a shorty boy but personally I think the 11.5" is the best all around length for an SBR AR-15. Then again if you want to go with 300 BLK the market has figured out how to make really short barrels run well with that cartridge. If you can stomach paying .308 money per round for 7.62x39 performance.

Reloading is the way for .300blk

It would go well with the White Rifle....
