7.62x39 AR pistol

[Mgderf]

Is there such a thing?

I built a 7.62x39 AR15 a couple of years back and I really like it. I am sitting on a stripped lower receiver that I had no particular plans for, so I got to wondering, does anyone make an AR15 pistol barrel in 7.5", or even 10"?

Of course. AR barrels can be had in just about any length you might want. But on an AR rifle build you are into NFA rules with a SBR. Not impossible but extra work and $200.

But if you take that 9" AR upper and put it into a pistol configuration, you don't have to worry about NFA.

Believe it or not, this shows a pistol NOT an SBR. Nobody said NFA laws make sense. They just are... But put a stock on it, and it magically becomes an SBR in the view of the BATF and the law.

I am aware of, and I think I understand the NFA laws. I was asking if anyone could give me a manufacturer name of a short 7.62x39 barrel.
