Warning, there are no pictures in this first post. [BD] Sorry to disappoint, but I'm in the planning stages, so not every part is set in stone. I recently took apart 3 existing rifles, so a lot of the parts decisions rode on what parts I could cannibalized from the tear downs.
I ended up ordering 2 Aero Precision Lowers. Decided to use the new M4E1 Lowers. Black one will be an SBR, FDE one will be a pistol.
Pistol specs so far:
Lower:
Aero Precision M4E1 FDE Lower
SB Tactical PDW 3 position Brace
Battle Arms Development 45 degree BAD-ASS
Battle Arms Development Enhanced Bolt Catch
Battle Arms Development EPS Pins
Xtech Tactical Grip
7075 Mil Spec Receiver Extension
Fortis Manufacturing QD End Plate
H2 Buffer / Spring
Trigger?
Upper:
Aero Precision Enhanced FDE Upper
Aero Precision BCG
Aero Precision Iron Sights
Radian Weapons Raptor
Cross Machine Tool JAG Gas Block
Barrel?
Handguard?
Muzzle Device?
All the parts listed are in, except the lower. The parts with question marks I haven't decided on yet. I don't like braces, but on this build I decided to make an exception and go with the SB Tactical. The purpose of the pistol build is a "truck gun." I have a secure, discreet location to place it in, but it won't be left in the vehicle overnight. Because it's a pistol, I'll leave it loaded as recent events have unfolded.... I think it's a good idea to have more than just a Glock 43 on my hip.
I've got some choices with the barrel. I could use an existing 7.5" Rainier Arms Barrel, Ultramatch, nitrided and use a Cross Machine Tool Mod 4 7" Rail I have coming. I could also go with a 10.5" Rainier UltraMatch that I already have with a Geissele MK4 9.5" I'm still debating as I do want to keep it compact, but 7.5" is loud, really loud. Since I already have existing PDW SBR's, I'm leaning 10.5"
SBR
Lower:
Aero Precision M4E1 Lower
Battle Arms Development 45 degree BAD-ASS
Battle Arms Development Enhanced Bolt Catch
Battle Arms Development EPS Pins
Magpul MOE Grip
7075 Mil Spec Receiver Extension
Fortis Manufacturing QD End Plate
Magpul STR Stock
H2 Buffer / Spring
Geissele SSA
Upper:
Aero Precision Enhanced Upper
Aero Precision Nitride BCG
Aero Precision Rear Sight
Radian Weapons Raptor
Aero Precision 10.5" FSB Barrel
Cross Machine Tool 7" Quad Rail
Muzzle Device?
Main purpose of this gun is to SBR a lower to match several existing M4E1 Enhanced uppers. However, this will be more of a MK18 Mod 0'ish and heavy emphasis on the "ish" I'm just a big fan of 10.3/10.5" FSB Uppers. They are fun to shoot and I still like FSB. Should just be a fun shorty to shoot at the range. I'll have to check what suppressor mounts I have left, but this one will definitely get a can.
Most of the parts for this build are in hand, but obviously won't be able to assemble the gun together until my stamp comes back.
Pictures to come after some assembly/progress is made!
