AR15 Pistol Thread
Searched the forum and this subforum for an AR15 Pistol Thread and didn't find any matches so I thought I'd open one up. I saw other people's pic threads but I don't want to threadcrap on anyone else's pic thread.
I've been sitting on this lower for 5 years and with the panic going on, I thought I'd finally build it for my birthday.
Adams Arm 5.56 PDW EVO Ultra Lite Piston Upper - 7.5"
Anvil Arms Stripped Lower - Custom Etched with Falling Down cover art
Rock River Arms LPK with National Match 2 Stage Trigger
Phase 5 Tactical Carbine Buffer Assembly inbound for completion on Tuesday.
ETA: Bought a Troy Industries QD Back plate for the Magpul MK3 Sling.
Obvious, this isn't complete yet but I'm too excited. I'll edit thread with complete pics in ASAP.
This is my first AR build. Only tools I needed were a hammer with some electrical tape, needle-nose pliers and a hex driver. I will say however that my thumbs STILL hurt. :P
ETA: Since bought and used a Tapco Armorers Tool for the Castle nut. Also got a brass hammer and punch set for the next time. I need MOAR!!
Also, of note, the RRA LPK trigger pins are super ridiculously tight in my Anvil Arms lower. I was worried I'd need an oversize replacement but these things aren't going anywhere.
ETA: Links are broken so fixing up

Post pics of yours!
ETA: Buffer Tube took 3 weeks longer to get here than expected... But alas, it has finally arrived.
Here she is complete

And she is all dolled up for a night on the town

AR pistols, personally I think they are a riot to shoot. Loud as heck and make me giggle like a school girl with every trigger pull.

Re: AR15 Pistol Thread
Thanks for sharing! Rep to all posters until I forget about this thread or lose my wood.
Please post any details you have. Any issues with particular components, etc. AR15 pistols are so widely varied and information is scarce so anything anyone can share will be a huge gain to the enthusiast community!
I've only shot one before, it was GROPA's and it was a BOOMstick!
I've read, in passing, that the Noveske smokepig will help reduce that so that's on my acquisition list.
Thanks, guys!"Because I'm an American." - MtnJack

Re: AR15 Pistol Thread
The muzzle flash from them is always fun.
Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,
all you get is ridicule, laughter,
and a trip to the house of pain.

Re: AR15 Pistol Thread
No the ATf does not consider the AFG "Angled Foregrip" a vertical grip. There aletter from the ATF (I Think on this forum) addressing this issue. I think it was about a draco.
Edit: found the link to the Letter
https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=...Ux&hl=en&pli=1
#7 on third Page, I have seen letters strickly about the AFG but didnt see them.Last edited by CPratt; February 18th, 2013 at 06:38 PM.

Re: AR15 Pistol Thread
If interested u can read ATF letter that specifically adresses the Magpul AFG on ar15.com here:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_122/5...R_pistols.html
It is near the bottom of the first page!When unholstering your sidearm it is customary to say: "Excuse me while i whip this out"
