AR Pistol build??

Make sure you keep a copy of the transaction to show that you purchased it new and that the receiver was never built into a rifle. I might also consider what the receiver makers to to distinguish a "pistol" receiver from a "rifle" receiver — they engrave the pistol receiver "PISTOL." Strikes me as a cheap piece of insurance.

You also reminded me to buy a pistol lower so I can build up a 5.56 pistol to go with my Spike's 9mm AR pistol...

That is EXACTLY what I was going to do!. Thanks. Good luck with the 5.56 and let us know how it shoots. The 9mm looks great.
What brand of pop-up sights are those on the pistol?

I'm going to pass on one of the tid bits of wizdom my father told me growing up.

Goverment agencys that have 3 letter abbreviations, don't play fair. 

IRS, EPA, ATF( yeah I know its now the BATFE, but its still the ATF), BOE, DOJ...  etc

I seem to remember that case way back when. I think if I'm not mistaken, Sandra Day O'Connor, who was known for her anti gun positions, actually voted in favor of Thompson Center saying the possession of a Thompson rifle barrel and a pistol by the same owner made him no more guilty of "owning" a short barreled rifle, than a person who possessed a shotgun and a hacksaw would be guilty of "owning" a sawed off shotgun. Not a bad argument if you think about it.   Bill T.

I miss Sandra. Not the greatest on the 2A, but generally a voice of reason amid all the shouting and always honest and direct. We could do with more like her in temperment and attitude, if not always in terms of policy.
FQ13 wo thinks she is one of the 10 best things Reagan did while in office.

Got in all of my parts today. One surprise. The upper/ bolt carrier assembly is already assembled and headspaced. All I have to do is build the lower. I am not sure that is worth showing. Any suggestions?
