Thus far, this has been enjoyable and a nice learning experience.

I do not need another AR, just wanted one and I am in no hurry. Life is a dance, you learn as you go.

I will build more. Maybe an AR pistol next.

AR pistol is definitely on my list for the summer. I just need to find someone local to me who will do the paperwork.

I want another AR. Probably going to get that AR firearm. When things get better, I will pay the extra money for a complete lower of my choice and a complete upper of my choice. Why? The same reason that I do not reload. I don’t have the time, don’t feel like doing it, nor do I want the headaches of wrong parts ordered or a spring missing or an incompatible LEGO piece. I will pay for another to do it for me just the same as I pay another to rotate my tires. I’m lazy.

Nuttin' wrong with this approach.

Personally, I hate building uppers for some reason so I outsourced that part last time around. I find doing lowers oddly relaxing though.

Two things to know about an AR pattern pistol in PRNY; 1) must be a fixed mag, and 2) no features (no muzzle device, no forward grip). Put a thread cap or faux hider with a pistol brace and you're GTG. Becomes an interesting range toy.

Not sure I understand all the terminology behind the "pistol". But, I will build anyway,

Or just make sure the overall length is over 26 inches which it will be if you use an 11.5 inch barrel, put a brace on it and a forward grip and now you don’t need to register it on your pistol permit. It’s a pistol that magically turned into a firearm.

Same gun. One needs registration. The other doesn’t. Same length. Only difference is the forward grip.

Features don't count for a fixed mag, add all that you want except a vertical foregrip.

I put a LaRue MBT-2S trigger in my .224V. It's about 95% of the Geissele trigger for about 30% of the price. I love it do much I went back and ordered more to put into all of my AR-platform guns.

I have two MBTs and two CAN scope mounts. Mark is deff a personality, but their products are second to none in price to performance ratio.

Nice job GOP!!!!! I'll bet looking back you wonder what you got all lathered up about!
I had never heard of the Swamp Fox brand of scopes but passed your information on to my son, who is very knowledgable on the subject, he was impressed. I think he is getting one.
