AR15 pistol thread

[WHSmithIV]

Nice, I like the CAA Saddle vs. a ridiculous Sig Brace.

Yeah - me too. I was looking last night at putting the Thordsen kit on mine but found out that the cover won't fit the Phase 5 pistol tube. The diameter is just a little too much. I'd have to change the pistol tube. they make those saddles in FDE too (though FDE is currently out of stock).

I got in some of my parts for an AR Rebuild I am starting. I installed the new barrel nut, gas block and test fitted the new hand guard.
I think I know why I like these things now. Apparently, I am still very much a kid watching the very first Star Wars in 1977.

Yep - there certainly is something very Star Wars when it comes to AR pistols

Duh... Of course you want a fixed FSP. The real question is 11.5 with carbine HG or 12.5 Kino configuration.

I need a 9" handguard then... I only have a 12" which was my original intentions. And I want 10.5 barrel.

[JHoward]

Oh... 10.5...

[Ride4frnt]

Oh... 10.5...

Well, I'm between 10.5 and 11.5." But regardless I need a shorter rail if I want a fixed post. Have my 12" force up for trade.

[JHoward]

I'm just giving you a hard time. I had a 10.5 and although it wasn't too finicky with ammo, it did have a hickup every now and then. I don't notice the extra inch on my 11.5 except for the fact that it cycles everything just as good as every other rifle I've owned. I would love a 10.5" upper, as long as I already had an 11.5".

I guess a 9" rail wouldn't help me either way with a FSB on either a 10.5 or 11.5...

7" on a carbine gas barrel

But now my dilemma is do I want a fixed front sight? Something about that short barrel with the front post that gets me going.

Something like this?




10.5" barrel with no hiccups or stoppages. Runs like a champ

[JHoward]

Nope. Are you set on a rail? I got a standard weight barrel and a MOE SL hand guard, mainly because I believe that with a carbine length fsb you will be a lot less likely to put enough pressure on the barrel, whether with a sling or on a barrier, to greatly reduce accuracy.

I'm not set on anything. I have a 12" rainier force sitting at home. Would be open to trades, but I'm not sure I want another moe hand guard. Have one on my 14.5" I may just end up with what was originally planned which was a 10.5" and a kx3. But then I can't suppress it. Not to say another upper isn't in my future.

I could always go the drop in 2 piece rail route. Midwest or something similar.

[JHoward]

I just hate to see another one of "those". No offense, but that's a trend I was never a fan of.
