Looks like this

ETA - What a disappointing way to own a page. When I build my AR pistol I'll put the picture here.

Law Tactical (Folder) just thought I'd try it out --- reduces the OAL to 21" folded, I also have the SigTac Brace too, but thought I'd try out the Thordsens 1st.

Is there a reason I only see single point slings on these? Is it a legal reason, or just the fact that there's not much room to waste on a forward sling mount?

Single Point Slings work very well on AR Pistols.  That is probably why you see so many of them.  Function Over Form.

In the past I had to take 2 of my 7.5" pistols to the local gunsmiths to open up the gas ports on the barrel. But they ran fine after that. I would also recommend shooting good ammo through them. My 10.5" ran without any problems what so ever with shit ammo.

My 7.5 has run like a top since day 1 on 90% steel case.  H3 buffer and KX3.

It's a SBR now, 1000's through it, still not a single failure.

Well, it happened. After finishing my first AR, I've gone and started the process all over again.

This Time I decided to snag a Sig Pistol Brace before they get 86'd and run a 12.5" system since I primarily shoot within 100 yards where I live (Dense woods) and am looking to run a very lightweight yet reliable system.

Here's a Link to my first Build Stag




Here's the Specs (As of 03-11-14)

Upper:

  • Daniel Defense 12.5 CHF Lightweight Barrel

  • BCM BCG

  • Bravo Company Low Profile Gas Block .725

  • Carbine Gas Tube

  • Magpul Carbine Hanguard (Will be replaced)

  • End Cap

  • Delta Assebly

  • (Midway USA)

  • Vltor M1A Upper

  • Vltor Ambidextrous Charging Handle

  • Bravo Company Full Auto Bolt Carrier Group

  • SureFire MB556K Muzzle Brake / Suppressor Adapter



Lower

  • SantTan Tactical Lower Receiver Cerakoted FDE
  • (Am looking for a new Lower du to excessive play between Mur and San Tan)
  • Battle Arms Ambidextrous Safety

  • KNS Ant Rotation Pins

  • Battle Arms EPS (Ended up being to loose for this lower, caused excessive wobble and the front pin was a constant problem for taking down.

  • Magpul Miad Grip (1.1?)

  • ALG Trigger

  • Phase 5 Pistol Buffer Tube

  • Impact Weapons QD End Plate

  • Sig Sauer Pistol Brace

  • Wolff Extra Power Buffer Spring

  • Spikes Tactical Heavy Buffer








*I plan to upgrade to a Bravo Company KMR 10" rail as soon as it comes back in stock.

Nice.

Your KNS pins are backwards btw, and it does matter.

I really like the SanTan lower, but I'm not sure I like it $300 worth
There are options to tighten up the fit between receivers, the cheapest and easiest is an O-ring around the front lug of the upper, makes a world of difference.

Oring size is #41

I mean your trigger/hammer pins.
The one with the screws belongs in the trigger so that the solid one can be in the hammer.  The hammer pin needs to be solid, it takes much more force during firing.

Ha yeah that's why they went away from the earlier 4 screw design.  People were using them in 9mm's and such with high bolt speed (part of what the pins were designed for) and some cracked the hammer pin.

I've got that exact 10.5" setup coming, but as a complete upper coming. It'll be pretty simple as well. At least for a while(I've spend waaaaaay too much on gun stuff lately). Lower is ready to go with the Sig brace and KAK extended buffer. Its killing me waiting on it (boo hoo).

Only about 3"to 4" shorter than your rifle. Your rifle with a fully collapsed stock is probably around 31-32" no?

edit: funky math

Yes it is just under 32 with an AAC flash hider. My 10.5 with a KX3 is exactly 28 and for 99.9% of my purpose I'd rather have the extra 4 inches and a buttstock without it being an SBR.

Anyway awesome set up you have!

Thanks. I like the 14.5 alot. I carry one at work. Another reason i like the 12" barrel is how easy it is to bring to bear in a vehicle, this set up is only about 1.35 inches longer than a tavor bullpup. i was about to buy a tavor to replace an Aug A3 i had to sell but I decided to try out an AR pistol first.. plus this pistol is going to suppressed 85% of the time anyway... so every inch counts when your going to adding about 7 inches to the OAL

Just finished my Stag Pistol Lower.  Looking to build a 300AAC 10.5" upper for it but the 5.56  11.5/16"" will do for now.  Used a KAK Gen II Buffer Tube.  Fits perfect for a Sig Brace, Mike.

Nice looking pistol, but why do you have that ultra-long FH on it? it only adds weight and you dont have to worry about barrel length at all. With that F.H on it you could put a real stock on it and be better off.
