Putty Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Here you have an Olympic Arms AR pistol. It has never been shot. Been in a case since purchase. Sorry for small pic. Better one coming $1000 (will entertain offers) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/CLovaR1/imagejpeg_2_2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 What makes it a pistol? Just the barrel and stock lengths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 What makes it a pistol? Just the barrel and stock lengths? No stock. Just buffer tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 So if the buffer tube (and spring?) are shorter I assume using the same 5.56 round will have a higher recoil? Even though I was in the army for eight years I don't know all the small cool shit about guns, I like learning about them though.

cinergi Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 On a rifle overall barrel length must be less than 16" for it to be a pistol, that is from chamber to tip. A pistol may not have a stock of any sort because it is a "hand gun" capable of being fired with one hand. People like these because you can still use the hand guard and do all the stuff you can to a full size ar15. Generally on these pistols, barrel lengths are shorter than 12", 10" being common. Pretty nice for CQB and with the right rounds pack a potent punch. You can go shorter for certain, but loss of velocity and tremendous muzzle flash are enough to stop most people. Yes you can get Noveske anti-flashs and stuff like this, but overall it's a big waste of money to go shorter unless you have a specific purpose. Now, as cool as it seems don't let anyone catch you swapping a rifle lower (with stock) with a pistol upper. ATF and fed boys pay a lot closer attention now since the Obama scare and are ready and willing to do a lot more about it then what they used to... Good choice on the OA, if I was going to buy one pre-assembled I would have gone this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
