    First SBR in process. CMT PDW

    Well.... it begins. CMT PDW arrived yesterday. Pinned 16" upper should arrive today to keep it useable until the stamp comes in.
    I sent money and paper work to my local firearm lawyer for a Trust.

    I'm really excited to start this. It's what selling the SMOS helped partially fund (trust and tax stamp). Having a feeling this is going to be my favorite rifle. Which is hard to say because I love my SSA build.

    I'll use this thread as a progress thread.

    Thanks guys. Looking at it, I think I am going to have to take the BAD pins out of my SSA and swap them with the SI pins I have sitting here for this lower. I don't think the sliding bar will clear the SI pins.

    Looking up from the bottom of the hill, it appears a long and arduous trip, but from the top, you'll be glad you did this. In a couple weeks, you'll start to forget and then one day, BAM! Stamp is approved and the wait starts all over to get it in your hands, only it's more of an enjoyable anticipation that time, like buying new parts and waiting for the mail call. My SBR is my favorite rifle by far. That is, until I have a second SBR. Same goes for cans!

    I can already answer this for you

    I built an SBR and it's my most fun gun to shoot by far.

    The PDW is the shit. You will love shooting it. 7.5 or 10.5 are my faves for that.

    You tease me with that Mini 4 every chance you get. I'm up for a new upper build also

    Hawt. I like how the 7.5 barrel looks best but ballistics... only having 1, I need the most I can get.

    Wanting to go with somewhere between 9". and 10.5". Trying to get as close to 26" OAL while staying under.

    I think if you're gonna go, go all out. 7.5".... probably be around 2100fps muzzle with 77gr OTM ammo. If your intended use is HD and a small truck gun.....you're fine.

    Really? I like the idea of a 7.5 too once I add a suppressor.

    Maybe I'll look into it some more.

    7.5 is not ideal obviously, but this is a PDW build right? I think for a PDW, short is the goal. You have plenty of other guns you can shoot for max velocity. You can also just build another upper later. I'm sure Jeff is more than happy to supply another upper.

    Hmm. Valid points. I had a 10.5 pistol for a bit and it was alright.... I do want to go a tad shorter. I'll see if someone local has a 7.5 I can play with.
