Custom 300 Blk AAC theme pistol (Half Life)

[PuppY_Kick3R]

Never really owned or let alone shoot a 300 blk out before or an AR pistol for that matter. But I was quite curios on what would one feel like so a couple of months ago, I started to plan my build. I did a lot of research on AR pistols and found that the shorter the barrel length the more troublesome it became. Of course I'm talking about 5.56. So I decided to go 300 blk out. I have build several rifles before. Most of them look good but I wanted to build myself something different. So I thought long and hard. What about a theme rifle? Great now im like paul senior and im the OCC of guns. But I was really inspired by one of the games I loved playing on the PC during the olden days. Half Life.....yes that game. Then I thought about the color scheme. Oh damn its gonna be orange. The damn thing is gonna look like a toy. $#% it!!! I'm gonna go for it. So started looking for which parts to use. I wanted something new something different. Another thing I wanted to accomplish was to show people in the community that even though Kalifornia gun laws suck, we actually have some great manufacturers locally. Like Broken Arms in San Jose, 2111 Arms in San Jose, Phase 5 in Lockeford, and RC refinishing in San Jose Some parts like the upper, from Northtech Defense, is manufactured in Oregon which is still in the West Coast.

I would also like to personally thank Mike from Broken Arms for the mill work done on the outside of the lower. It made it extra custom. Jason from 2111 Arms for giving me one of his comps for this project. And Tunis from Metal Dog Tactical for outfitting this pistol with gear from his shop. Without those guys, this project wouldn't be as custom as I'd like it to be.

Here are links to the folks that helped this build.

Some of the subtle touches, like Black Mesa, are pretty cool. An excellent theme build, and great photos.

I used to play Half Life in College.... are there new games? Still a following? Obviously I've lost touch.

Nice looking gun though... more importantly, how does she shoot?

Doesn't come with a crowbar.
