my first build









10.5" LMT with 9" Troy TRX extreme rail
Roggio lower with DPMS parts kit
RRA pistol buffer
Charles Daly 30 rd mag with magpul follower
Magpul asap sling plate
cheapo BSA red dot for now

5.45x39 S&W upper cut down to 11" built on a stripped lower. Has the Osprey gas piston system. Assinine lower 1/3 mount for the Aimpoint T1 (I ordered the "true co-witness" one and they sent the wrong thing ). Chair end cap to protect buffer tube when resting on it and Magpul AFG, both utilized after much reading of ATF letters so they've been ruled as legal (not fired from the shoulder before someone suggests it). Hardly any recoil so a cheek weld is all that is necessary.

Damn picture keeps inserting sideways.

JSE Surplus 7.5" upper with DPMS Chrome BCG
YHM Light weight rail and compensator
Badger Gen 2 latch on the CH
Mapul rear BUS
Palmetto State Armory stripped lower built with their LPK
Spike T-2 buffer and carbine length spring
RRA Pistol buffer tube
Magpul ASP, grip and trigger guard


I will be taking it to the range tonight after work. Just completed last night

AR-15 Pistol just add water ! LOL

...and per ARFCOM SOP toes in shot...well done lad....well done...

toes was actually focus of the pic, AR was the accessory

Just wanted to update, shot great. No issues with cycling in 150 rounds. I was not happy with the flame put put out through the YHM FH/comp. Picked up a Levang from Brownells, I am 25 miles from them so shipped to me in 2 days. Going out to the range today for follow up test shoot with the Levang.

You don't say. What part of Iowa you in? Come join us in the Iowa Home Town Forum

That looks perfect!

I am in the IAHTF, I just stay out of the Bob Roberts/Sceptic love fest threads.


I will be at the next build /shoot, I was at the last one too, if you want to try out the pistol.

Last build I was shooting RLarge's Galil quite a bit and then the 7.5 SBR. It was my arm that ended up bloody from it.

Please excuse my crappy camera pics. I will get better ones up this weekend, hopefully.

This is the finished product from earlier pics, built on Aero Precision receivers, DTI 7 inch barrel and LPK from JSE, RRA bolt and carrier, YHM carbine light weight free float and end cap, YHM Phantom flash hider, CAA/EMA flip up sights, one point sling, AR 6 position buffer tube covered by an ACE sleeve with an ACE buffer and spring.

My first pistol build 4th ar build. JSE 7" upper YHM spector rail ace buffer tube sight mark scope magpull flip sights

Here's mine...




The upper and lower receivers are Spikes Tactical; with Spikes BAR carbine-length rail; Spikes Tactical bolt carrier group; PWS enhanced buffer tube; Spikes Tactical ST-2 buffer; Citadel 7.5" 1:9 twist, chrome-lined barrel; Eotech 512 RDS; Noveske KX3 flaming pig flash hider; Magpul AFG 2; Magpul BAD lever; Magpul MS2 sling; CAA UPG16 grip; and Troy front and rear flip iron sights.

Second photo is the same pistol but with the PWS CQB flash hider and H&K front and rear (drum) sights.

Wrapping cord around a M4 or carbine extension tube is ok to meet pistol qualifications? Would like to know this before I spend a little extra $ on another pistol tube. Thanks.

My understanding (not a lawyer, but I have written the BATFE about pistol buffer tubes before and using a rubber cane tip on them) is that any brand new lower that has never had a buttstock attached can be used for a pistol, and the buffer tube has to not allow a buttstock to be readily attached. I would not feel comfortable just wrapping a working carbine buttstock extension with anything, as you could just cut it off and slide on a rifle stock. I have seen where others have dipped the extension in plastic/rubber, yielding it impossible to fit a standard buttstock on the extension. I would probably be okay with that, personally, if I couldn't find a pistol extension.

Overall, unless you write the BATFE about it, all you are going to get are opinions that hold no legal weight.

Just finished building it tonight. I can't wait to take it to the range!

AR pistol with 7" barrel (thanks JSE for the great service). High powered pistol and concussion grenade all in one.

RGuns SS LPK, Ace pistol buffer, and JSE 7" upper.

Thanks! It's a sweet shooter, but it will be even nicer with a CTR on the back and a suppressor on the front.

I have no idea who made that mag cinch or even where I got it. It's at least 10 years old and was sitting around two aluminum GI mags. It cinches nicely around the PMAGS, and they function fine.

I haven't seen any like them on any websites or current catalogs, so I guess they aren't made anymore.
