Looks nice.

How much barrel (if any) sticks out of your handguard when it has a bare muzzle? Asking because it looks like your cookie cutter fits perfect. I have a 7.5" barrel that I may consider that same break for, if my setup is right.

Thanks in advance.

I really like that brace, so much that I had to snag a second one when they were still in stock.

It turned out great. I was considering a Cookie Cutter too, but it got too complicated trying to calculate how it would work and what rail I should buy.
It was tricky enough figuring out what size rail to get just to partially/properly cover the PWS CQB comp I ultimately chose to use.

Good job.

How do you like the cheek rests vs the Shockwave? I've got Shockwave braces with pistol tubes on all my AR pistols, before the Shockwave came out I was just running foam over the tube.
I wanted to try a cheek riser on a standard buffer tube, just curious if people with both like one more than the other.

The rest provides more surface...more comfortable and natural on cheek than the Shockwave. Shockwave is lighter overall but they both work well enough on the cheek. One thing I've noted since I started shooting these pistols is that (imo) it feels easier and more natural to line up your sights/optics on your cheek instead of having to crank your face down to the side as you would on a regular rifle. Just obviously not as stable as a rifle platform. But, I must admit I have a thick neck and fat cheeks.

I bought a builders kit from CMMG for my LPK. Why pay for a gross milspec trigger and A2 grip when you're not going to use it IMO. My AP barrel is well made and accurate as can be. Just be aware that you will need to drill it for the gas block.

Thanks, it's a Polymer80 Phoenix2. Lower, jig, and bits for $59. Very easy to finish on my $30 Craigslist drill press. I did have to do tweaking to get it to work right. The gap for the bolt catch was too big, needed to shim it with a piece of soup can. May have been my fault but the trigger, sear pins kept wanting to walk out so I needed ones that screw together. Magwell was super tight, had to sand it a bit. However after that it works well, and the extra material around the buffer tube gives me confidence it'll hold up to 9mm blowback, along with a stronger buffer spring and a soft rubber buffer bumper.

It's only had about 150 rounds through it now but I'm not worried about durability. Recoil was tamer than expected, I don't think the lower is taking much more punishment than a DI gun would. There's a video on Youtube of someone putting 50 rounds of Beowulf through it so I think it'll be fine.

First ever pistol - never planned on building one. Project started when I was randomly offered a dirt cheap deal for the barrel on this build - need to get sights and shoot it.
