What buffer setup are you using?
If your using the CAR buffer, then yeah - AR pistol doesn't get that short....... |

Observations are freely welcome in this forum. ....But remember, that this is NOT the General Discussion. The OP's post was his observation about a technical aspect of the AR15 pistol and it was a valid contribution. |

I played with a RRA at the gun shop the other day and noticed that it seemed big. What buffer setup will make them smaller? How small can you get a pistol AR?
I want to get one for fun but if I cant get it down in size (I know it wont get that much smaller) then it might not be worth it. |

A folding stock Ak or SBR AK is going to be shorter than and ar platform of the same barrel length with a buffer tube.

The olympic arms OA-93 (?) upper would allow you to make a REALLY short AR pistol, as the buffer tube is no longer needed.

my desire in an AR pistol was primarily based on the AR platform and caliber, rather than simply a question of length.

I posted a breakdown of the parts I used to make a very short buffer tube in the "AR pistol buffer tube" stickied thread. I hated the look of the CAR tube, but knew the M-1 sales system wouldn't work as-in.
As it is now, it works 100% and is about as short as you can go without moving the entire system such as in the OA-93. |

I need the longer buffer tube because I shoot the pistol with a "cheek weld"

I was wanting to know what question he was asking. Or was he just saying its the same length.

My setup allows a cheek weld, think I am going to do a para-cord wrap though. It doesn't kick enough to hurt, but it does get hot/cold depending on weather.

I use mine for a cheek weld also, however the AR pistol really isn't that compact of a weapon overall. I like mine but then compairing it to a full length rifle with folding stock, gives it the disadvantage. I have an ACE style buttstock on mine- is there anything shorter that is relieable?

Thats absolutely right. Its all a matter of preference I guess. I would like to have both but a 10.5" happened to be at the top of my list when I got into a position to buy. Now, I would REALLY like to build a AR45.. but wouldn't a Mac10 be even smaller and 1/2 the price? |

Retro - yes, there is something that is reliable and shorter - read my post on the last page of the "pistol buffer thread" that is stickied.

If !!! You were going to buy a hand gun for entry work would you buy one with a 10" barrel or a 6" barrel ?? ( think short )

Or go with a .22LR setup. Unless you definitely want the .223, it is fun and cheaper to shoot, compact, and controllable. No buffer tube needed. I changed from a 9mm pistol with carbine buffer tube to the .22LR setup.

You can, but from the factory it will take a long time to get it. |

[Dr. Mcoy] " Dammit Jim it's a PISTOL not a rifle" [Dr. Mcoy]  This is why some of us went with a 7.5" uppper. We can even shoot our ARPs one handed.

That's what I thought. I priced an AR45 at more than a grand and bought a MasterPiece Arms Mac-10 instead. I built the pistol to avoid the anguish of the SBR paperwork. Low and behold I'm filing for a Form 1 anyway
