Re: Commie Caliber AR15 Pistol Build
Parts gathering continues...….got a $100 gift card for a sporting clays event I was in, and found a barrel at a price that I thought was too good to pass up.....I mean, "even if it would crack, I would just throw it away and buy something else" cheap. CBC Industries has a $99.95 barrel on sale for $59.95. They have free shipping over $100, and since I still need some other stuff, I shopped for some other goodies. They have the SB3 brace in FDE for $98. But there is a 20% off code (SAVE20) that works, so it is like getting the brace for $78. They had a carbine buffer on sale for $27.95 as well, with the discount it was down to $22.
Got the barrel
https://www.cbcindustries.com/produc...-62x39-110525/
the FDE SB# Tactical Brace and a buffer tube set up for a total of $184.99, less 20% ($37.00) for a total of $147.99. Deduct the $100 Visa GC and left a balance of $47.99.

Re: Commie Caliber AR15 Pistol Build
New page - needs a pic!
This is very near finished now.
The only things I want to add or do are:
- LaRue Tactical 2 Stage trigger
- Troy Proctor 2-point sling
- Some sort of micro-sized hand stop
- Weapon mounted light
- Paint (Aervoe) the hand guard to match my x39 carbine
- Paint or otherwise mark the mags for quick identification as x39 magsLast edited by Emptymag; November 13th, 2019 at 01:04 AM.

That place also has an 8.5" 7.62x39 barrel for $59.00.
I think I'm addicted to 7.62x39 because I have a 5.56 upper waiting to be assembled and I'm looking at this 8.5" barrel, thinking, "Hmmmm... maybe I should buy that barrel and sell the 7" 5.56 barrel I have?

The coupon code works too - takes $11.80 off making it $47.20 - even with $8 shipping, that's only $55.20 shipped!

Re: Commie Caliber AR15 Pistol Build
That's an M4 profile too. Mine is a medium contour, just a bit heavier behind the gas block but about the best I could find in stock. The pic of yours shows 300BLK on the barrel, but the review mentions that the pic is incorrect and it is the same profile as the pic but actually in 7.62x39. That is a great price, glad the SAVE20 works. I had to call CBC since I wanted to use that Visa Gift Card I had, and they were super cool and helpful about getting my GC registered and processed. It took a few calls back and forth, but they were super helpful.

Re: Commie Caliber AR15 Pistol Build
Thanks! I love it!
My x39 carbine was my favorite, but this pistol may take the title.
All that's left to do is add a sling and in the spring when my income picks up I want to get a LaRue Tactical MBS 2 stage trigger.
And paint - I want it to look similar to my x39 carbine so my x39 guns are instantly identified as such, rather than looking like every other black 5.56.

Re: Commie Caliber AR15 Pistol Build
How long have you been chipping away on this project? I’m just in beginning stages of parts collection. I’m having a tough time with staying focused on this build so it seems like forever already. Lol
This one certainly motivates me, every time you update these threads.

Re: Commie Caliber AR15 Pistol Build
I started a thread (see link) in Feb 2019 pondering what I needed to do a x39 pistol.
http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=344627
I guess it took about 9 months from when I made up my mind to do it. A little faster than I had intended, but that's due to being hooked up with a barrel, and a finding a few great deals on parts that I acted on rather than paying more for them later.
I got really good deals on the brace, the ATLAS handguard, and the magwell grip. The BCG was on sale, and I already had a LPK and buffer tube/buffer and such lying around in a box. The optic was obtained via trade, so I didn't have to put out money for that.
The thing I love about AR15s is that you can grow them easily enough.
Just buy ANY part, toss it in a box, and soon there will be more parts in the box, then more, until there's enough to assemble a gun.
