AR Pistol or not??

[Ggreen]

I wonder if places like PSA ask themselves "what the heck just happened?" after one of these threads takes off and we all start building stuff.

Not from psa but I did order stuff for a 3.1" 9mm after this thread. Should be interesting..

so in terms of a 300 blk out with 10.5 pistol gas barrel, is there a specific recoil spring/buffer i need?

Carbine works in all of my 300blk applications.

I just built one with a 12.5 Aero Precision barrel I picked up from their booth at the NRA show. Absolutely love it. Shoots just as smooth as my AR rifles. Extremely light and handy too. It's now my go-to.

Got most of the parts for my newest low budget blaster ar pistol. The handguard is 4" the barrel I have enroute is 3.1. I have a blast can, but I may just go with a hex barrel nut. Also looking into short stroke kits that will work with the safety harbor short pdw pistol tube. VP9L for scale.

Caught the late delivery. This build is ridiculous, even by my standards.

Has anyone used Qc10 to build their 9mm AR pistol? I've heard good things about them but looking for first hand experience.

I'm building one now. Still waiting on a flash can and front sight to complete it. I used QC10 for the upper (side-charger), lower, BCG, and barrel. The fit and finish on everything has been excellent, and I expect it will function equally as well.

I have AR pistols in 223 in 7 and 1/2 , 10 1/2 and SBR in 12 and a half inch.
I like them all.
Very handy.

Working at a branch office in Evansville for a couple days, and hoping to be able to get away early Thursday and be able to detour slightly and hit Proteq on my way home to shake out my new pistol build.

Of course I didnt want to leave my pistol in the trunk, so I took it in. I am using a tennis racket bag to hold it for discretion. It was fun walking through the hotel lobby past a crowd and knowing nobody had a clue as to what was REALLY in the bag. Nobody even batted an eye even though several took brief notice of me.

These are nice for concealing your AR pistol.

I picked up this 8" PSA a couple months ago and it a blast to shoot! (flashlight is now on the left side)

I have the same set up in a 4” barrel. LOVE it. Fun. Accurate and Compact.

Ok, so what are you guys with AR pistols and like 8" barrels or so using for cleaning? A long rod 36" or so seems unwieldy for this task, while a normal pistol length rod is not long enough to handle barrel and upper length. I'm not real fond of bore snakes, but guess I could go that way if I have to.

I can't seem to find a 16" or so one piece cleaning rod.

I use a 3 piece cleaning rod, similar to this.

I use a 2 piece sectional rod that luckily I didn't get of years ago. It's 22" long.

 

[WebSnyper]

Thanks guys. I may have to do some measuring.

I'd rather go one piece if I can.

This one may just fit my need, (12 inch model) though I'd rather not pay this much for it:

Mine came in one of those cheap universal cleaning kits you can get at the big box stores for under $20.

I just measured. With two sections connected the rods (without brush or patch holder attachment) is 18". All three sections measure approx 28.5" long.
