First pistol build in process. I've asked questions here and there and I appreciate your guys advice. Mocked up it is right at 23 inches long from the buffer to to the compensator tip. Specs below.
Levang Linear Compensator ( going to have 2 flats machined on bottom end for a wrench ) YHM crush washer 7" AR Stoner Barrel from Midway Midwest SS series one piece Free float rail system Carbine Length Midwest end cap PSA Upper AO Precision charging handle Noveske pistol length gas tube Magpul Mbus front and rear sights Anderson Lower CMMG LPK Spikes Tactical Billet Trigger guard Phase 5 pistol buffer tube kit MagPul MOE grip Kies adjustable clamp on gas block Im missing the BCG. I guess it all depends on who has the best deal right now. Can anyone recommend where to go?

Im still waiting on my barrel nut wrench to get my build together. Meanwhile............should I do the extractor upgrade? I do have an adjustable gas block.
BCM extractor upgrade kit. |

Yes, you should. I had consistent failure to eject on my pistol build during my first range session and it was due to a weak extractor spring. It was so frustrating to have a new build that didn't cycle properly. Added the #60 o-ring around the extractor spring as a stop gap and no more FTE.
Don't know if there is such a thing as having an extractor spring which is too strong. This was on a 10.5" with carbine gas. |
