Got it today ;D
-
Picture sucks, I know, took it with my web cam ;D
Came with cardboard box, and 1 20 rd mag.
Takes standard Glock mags. It is NOT an AR design, it just looks similar.
-
Nice. Looks like a perfect size for stealth carry.
I can carry my AR in a backpack, but it is heavy and I need to make a better liner to keep it in place. That one looks like it would fit perfectly in my pack and be lighter.
I wish I'd kept my Kel-Tec Sub2000.... it folded in half and fit in a laptop bag.

It's a DENSE little bugger .
And the only way to shorten it is to take the barrel off, it threads kind of like an Uzi, or M-3 Grease Gun.
The 2 pins only release the trigger pac.
The brace is just a rubber sleeve that slides over the buffer tube.
Is it legal to stuff that with paper to adjust Length of pull ?
I don't know when I'll get to shoot it, the local range is indoors, so it's been closed.

I bought this because the only 2 I found in 10 mm were this or CMMG which was double the price.
If I were going to do a standard caliber, which I might later , I would go with standard AR pistol, just for the simplicity and interchangeability of parts.

My AR's not that heavy, as it is the 80 rounds of ammo(5.56) that weighs me down. Mine's in a yoga mat back right now with a Sono tube for a stiffener.
Originally built as a pistol, then as a rifle. I may go back to a pistol, but am tempted to move to a 9mm.

Alf... if you really want to cut the weight, you might look at the Recover Brace I commented on... with a set of slightly taller sights, it is going to replace both a 10.5 (5.56) and 7.5 (9mm) I have for a truck gun currently...
I got the basic model without the front grip and 1913 rails...I want to go with a fixed sight gun, though a set of micro dots would be my choice if it were just a range toy.

Be REAL careful switching back and forth, this all depends on whims of ATF and my understanding is "Once a rifle Always a rifle".
In one of his Q&A's Ian, at Forgotten weapons pointed out that if you register it as an SBR you can do what ever you want.
I was at Thompson Center when they went to SCOTUS over Contender Carbines.
My understanding then was that if it was originally bought as a pistol it could be converted up to carbine, but not the other way.

That quotes a little off. It's "originally a rifle, always a rifle."
All my lowers were purchased as "other" and assembled as pistols first. Photographed as evidence. Taken to the range and fired as such. Usually also posted about. Then as a pistol I can convert to a rifle and back as desired.
-
When I originally decided to get this I figured I'd just buy a dedicated pistol lower and leave that way to just avoid the details. ;D
I still might assemble a 9MM, I've got enough pistols in that caliber to make it practical. ;D

Only 80? ;D
Yeah, the ammo definitely adds a good bit to the total weight. I carry four 20 rd Magpuls and two 30 rds and a couple spare boxes in the little side pockets..

I'm fuming.
After 2 days search I found my proper laser bore sight so I can get things roughly lined up.
Frigging battery dead in the sight. ::)
There's no magnification involved, why not just use the old Weaver quick point idea of a tube with a wire running through for the dot ?
-
Tom... if you go with a 1x prism sight with the reticle etched on the prism, you still have a black reticle even if the battery in the scope goes dead... I have a Vortex Spitfire that I tried for my PCC... I don't like the layout of the reticle, but it is always available
if you decide to build a 9mm, give a shout... I've put together 2...a New Frontier Armory and a Palmetto State Armory with a billet lower made for them by NFA... a friend built one for his grandson with a PSA forged lower... all Glock magazine format... the NFA was originally a straight blow back, and now has a CMMG radial delayed bolt and barrel (there was a lot of R&D for me on that one to get the magazines straightened out and later an extraction problem at about 1200 rounds) and uses a hydraulic buffer and 142 power factor loads for competition... the blow backs are pretty straight forward (you might start with about a 6oz buffer and stock AR spring...... my PSA currently has a 7.5" barrel as it was a contender for the truck gun, but is considerably heavier than the G17w Recover Tactical brace...if you want to use a 5.56 lower, an adapter from MEAN ARMS converts a PMag to 9mm and works the bolt hold open... I use the longer 40 round stick mags for competition, and don't need a bolt hold open... I broke a bolt hold open with a mag well adapter for my SBR that used Colt mags.... regards Les

That information is exactly what I couldn't find when I first thought about the AR pistol . ;D
Thank you.
A bit off topic, but I just saw the video about the Banshee, radial delay.
It's cool you never know where clever little tweaks will show up. ;D
