owndjoo Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well, I've gotten the itch again... and thanks to some liquidation of vehicles I feel this is the time to build another rig... Picked up an Anderson Manufacturing stripped lower and blackhawk grip last night. Will be building up a 7.5" pistol w/sig brace setup. I've wanted one for a long time and the price is now right on pieces again. I'll try to document some of the build over the next month or so. Trying to wait until black Friday to pick up some DEALS.

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Wait on the sig brace for this. http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?156387-Seeking-input-on-Shockwave-Blade-AR-pistol-stabilizer-we-re-developing Much nicer.

owndjoo Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 ehhh, who knows when it'll actually be available, and how the ATF is going to look at it. I would presume they would give it the same judgement as the sig. but I'm not really interested in waiting til mid next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I think the sig looks better anyway.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Been thinking about doing a pistol build at the end of the year also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Why not just stamp it and make it an SBR, oh and add a Suppressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Why not just stamp it and make it an SBR, oh and add a Suppressor. suppressor is def something i'm looking at.... however I will be building my own and with the sig brace it's close enough to the SBR without the paperwork and $$ Edited November 18, 2014 by owndjoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowdog Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I have one that i have not even shot yet. I need to go shoot soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCBS Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Why not just stamp it and make it an SBR, oh and add a Suppressor. X2 on a can. ARs under 10" are just obnoxious without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Also a SBR and a can will run you an additional $400 in stamps compared to a pistol with a sig brace, I get the loud factor though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 X2 on a can. ARs under 10" are just obnoxious without.very true. I dont' have a problem with that though. I will definitely be getting a proper compensator to help with the concussion direction away from the shooter. I'm around all types of military weaponry all the time, so it really doesn't bother me if it's a little loud. I always wear double hearing pro. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works pretty well for throwing most of the noise/blast downrange.http://www.shopnoveske.com/products/kx3-flash-suppressor-1-2-28-for-5-56ar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 those aren't bad. I was considering the cookie cutter as well. it looks like it would be pretty close to my rails on a 7.5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 well, I finished putting it all together this weekend and took it out.... loud is an uderstatement.... Was shooting 50gr frangible and it keyholed 80% of the rounds. 1/9 twist barrel. I'm hoping using some 62gr green tip will help, but I have to go outside for that... haha. Gotta say, insanely fun to shoot. I think I was pissing off everyone at AimHi on Sunday though... boomer for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of doing a 7.5 next but may just go 10.5 .300 which was my plan before the reversed the green tip ban thinking. Dunno, but I do know Wally had tons of .223 cheap so may stick with 5.56/.223 instead of the .300 and just go for the 7.5 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owndjoo Posted March 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 it's the standard pistol kit from radical firearms. was a little tight getting it in. Looks like the extractor o-ring mod may be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the extractor o-ring mod may be needed.Thats what my builds upper is, had the same issue with rear take down pin being uber tight. Did it loosen up after throwing some rounds down? My friend built a 300 from parts and said he had the same issue and his upper was not a Radical. BTW did you see they are running 10.5 pistols right now for 525, which is seriously good for a full pistol built. Add 15 for FFL and its only 25.00 more than I spent on my super budget build.

madcat6183 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Suppressors..........MT, just saw that silencerco actually has some for 5.56 that even I can afford, less than 800 with tax stamp. Figure if I went that route with 2 quick detaches(1 for full size, 1 for pistol), tax stamp, and NFA trust, plus transfer fees, could be under 1K total with a can that works for both guns. Is that legal or nada? I feel like if theres a quick detach setup it should be legal, but not sure it is. I haven't looked into it, figure you'd answer before I got home tonight to look it up online. Work doesn't like me looking up cans Does that sound possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
