Meh. If Wife 1.0 uninstalls herself over an AR pistol, she wasn't going to stick around anyway. If she upgrades to 2.0, then she's a keeper.
You ARE building HER pistol, right? Gig 'em, backbencher |

Gig 'em, backbencher It's been 37 years so far, so I suspect she'll stay around for a while. However, there are days when she wants to uninstall my pistol.  She's not anti-gun, just anti-arsenal.

Well, if you would limit yourself to uppers, and a pistol lower that sometimes you throw a 16"+ bbl & a stock on, you could honestly claim to her that you have only 1 AR - the way the BATFE counts, anyway... : )

I have two other uppers planned. |

Well, it's getting close. I need a BCG and hand guard. I've used the Spike's BCG before and like it, so I'll probably do that again. I have no idea what hand guard to use. Suggestions, please.

So how do you like that Del-Ton lower? I bought one at a gun show, great price, and I'm very pleased with mine. Not quite finished with the assembly yet, waiting on parts, but the finish and fit to a PSA 20" upper is fantastic.

The finish seems just a bit smoother than the PSA and BCM lowers I've used before. Agreed on the fit to a PSA upper –– that's what mine is also. A local gun shop has Del-Ton stripped lowers for $100.00 +tax, so there's probably another one in my near future. |

FINALLY DONE!!! Don't even start on me about the BSA sight –– it's not permanent.
After waiting three weeks for Ranger sales to get back to me about the handguard I ordered, I gave up and ordered a Rock River. Four days later I had it. 
Now there's a 300 BLK in progress.

so if you build with a buffer tube that is ment to have a colapsible stock on it but don't put the stock on yet is it a pistol or do you have to use an actual pistol tube?

If you build it with a pistol tube it is a pistol. MInuite you put a stock of any kind on it it becomes a SBR and NFA paperwork needs to be filed

It's either a long-barrel pistol or a legal rifle. There was a LONG discussion in another thread about what constitutes "designed or redesigned to be fired from the shoulder" , therefore making it a rifle. Could I make the argument right now that it's a pistol? Maybe, but it's not worth it especially since the tube is clearly designed to have a stock attached. This one IS a rifle and will have a collapsible stock as soon as I pick one. |
