I'm building a AR pistol out of a pistol-registered stripped lower.  Question is ... is the pistol buffer assemb from model 1 good?

Or am I better off getting say a buffer tube from a telestock and just use that instead?  (not the entire stock, just the tube and springs, so it's not a "stock" and making it a SBR.).

Any advise would be appreciated.  The objective here is to have a AR pistol that cycles properly and reliable.

Parts:
DPMS 7.5" upper.
BM bolt assembly.
BM lower trigger, hammer, grip, etc.
Olympic stripped lower.

Need a buffer tube and I'd be complete.

I'm pretty sure this would still constitute an unregistered SBR in the eyes of the law.  IMO you should stick with a pistol-specific set-up.

HardShell - That's what I thought too after I saw a pic of a "pistol" in the AR pistol thread in the AR discussion section.  I want this to be a LEGAL toy, I'll take Avengeusa's advise and order that pistol buffer system.

Thanks guys.

I knew I'd read a good thread on this subject recently!  It just took me a minute to find it- SORRY!

Ok ... what about this:

Pistol-registered lower, pistol buffer ... here's the trick:

24" upper.

What would that be then?  A REALLY LONG pistol or a SBR?

Really long pistol... think THE JOKER in the first BATMAN film.


I can see it now - the AR15 Buntline Pistol!  (the original Buntline was a Colt, after all! )
