First 100% built by ME AR!!!

[aaron580]

Disclaimer: This is an AR pistol, but since it is an AR, in 300blk, and not exactly a typical handgun, thought this would be the place to post it.

So over the last few months, I have been doing tons of research, asking questions, and looking at pictures to figure out what I wasnted my next build to be. So I decided on a pistol, but since I didn't want a 556 from a short barrel, I wanted a round that would yield me the shortest barrel with the best ballistics. So, supersonic 300blk seemed to be the answer! So I compiled my lists, looked a couple hours for parts, and found what seemed to be the best parts for the money. After ordering them all on sunday, I waited all this week for my parts to arrive. Today, the last batch came, and THIS is the result:

THIS is now known as my Honey Badger! (there is a reason for this). 8.2" seemed to yield the best ballistics in a supersonic 300blk of all the shorties out there, so here it is! This was my first time assembling an AR upper from scratch, and it really was not that hard since I had a pretty good idea of what I was doing to begin with. The lower was the easy part! If anybody would like a parts list, I can post it as I take inventory again of what all I used

Let me know what you think!

This should be in hand guns I think. But that aside, awesome!! I finished up my second build awhile back. It's a addiction once you start. Welcome to the club! You'll want to build more! Good luck resisting the urge lol.

Range report!!!! ???

Please share your list!

Awesome build. I'm glad you finally got your "Honey Badger" built!

The joy was short lived. My 300blk cases wont chamber right. Im getting a little pissed.

Have you tried factory ammo? I could do some measuring of a round if that would help.

Also: Is the lack of a trigger guard purposeful?

No access to any currently. That would help though! My necks may be to short I am thinking...

 

[gunworks321]

I took some rough measurements with 1.375 on length and .275 on neck length. Check the SAAMI on this link: http://www.saami.org/PubResources/CC_Drawings/Rifle/300 AAC Blackout.pdf

Edit: Micrometer keeps slipping, but I think I got it right.

Got my cases to chamber FINALLY! Had to resize, but they fit now! Little tight, but they work, thats what matters! Tomorrow, ammo will be made.

 

[gunworks321]

Great! Best of luck and let us know how it shoots.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.
ive been thinking of doing the exact same thing with a stripped lower I have.

So why 8.3" and not 10"

 

[throttletony]

Also, is that the extended buffer tube to help put that sig brace back a bit further?

 

[FireBirdDS]

Sweet looking setup!

But I thought an AR "pistol" by definition couldn't have a buttstock of any kind lest it become an SBR(?)

It's not a stock. It's an arm brace made by Sig.

A 300blk w/8.3 barrel I bet that thing is gonna be loud... Nice looking tho.. A +++++

 

[jjtroy912]

Range report?... How's she running, and what buffer weight did you go with? Looks good, hope she runs good for you too.

Yes it is. I feel is more comfortable on my arm that way

Sooo......what can are you going to put on it? I see you're using an AAC flash hider (not muzzle break), although it doesn't appear to have any ratchet teeth. I think you're badger would look even better with an SDN-6 or 762 Saker attached to it!

TRIGGER GUARD: I forgot to order my magpul guard when I got the rest of the parts, coming this week. Always happens on my builds.

suppressor, was not planning on running one due to the wait time. I hate having that much money allocated to something that I can't touch for a year! Not worth it to me
