Built an AR pistol.

I finally built an AR after tinkering on my other rifles and other people's ARs for several years. I have always loved PDW's so I built a 7 1/2" 5.56 pistol. Below is the parts list.

Classic Arm's Premium 7 1/2" 1/7 twist barrel with generic A2 flash hider.
Seekin's Precision adjustable gas block

UTG Keymod rail covers
BCM Keymod 45 deg. Offset mount
Streamlight TLR1HP light with Surefire green filter
Holosun HE-510GR-Elite red dot sight
GG&G BUIS set with Blitzkrieg Components Tritium Chevron front sight and Meprolight rear aperture
Raptor Ambi charging handle
Strike Industries forward assist
Engraved dust cover from CustomARDustCover.com
SB PDW brace kit
Magpul MOE plus grip
Geissele G2S trigger

Troy ambi mag release with Odin Works extended mag release paddle
KNS pin set
Battle Arm’s ambi safety
Tactical Link single point sling or Magpul MS1 depending on mood.
Strike Industries +5 EMP mag plate
At first it was way overgassed, so I installed the Seekin's gas block and that fixed that. So far after >200 rounds there have been no malfs at all. It will shoot into an inch at 65 yards with Frontier 5.56, 62 gr. SP ammo.

Very nice build. Impressive parts list. I approve. I've thought about using the UTG pro parts before, but havnt heard from anyone with first hand expierence.

Thanks. I tell ya, it would have been a whole lot cheaper to buy one already built. It's crazy how cheap AR's are now.
The UTG Pro stuff is made in the USA and I really like their forends. I have a 15" Keymod rail and a 17" M-LOK rail. The fit and finish are very good and they are very sturdy. They are not cheap, but they don't cost as much as alot of other rails either. I had a Rainier Arms Hybrid Comp on it at first and man, talk about stupid loud with a huge fireball. The over pressure actually hurt my eyes. I fixed that with the A2 Flash suppressor. Much more pleasant to shoot now.
It is, without a doubt, my favorite gun and it rides in the truck everyday now.

I originally had a set of UTG BUIS on it that I swapped out for the GG&G. They are decent quality, all aluminum and seem very sturdy. They are < $50 for the set. I put them in my Windham Wep. MPC when I reconfigured it for a quad rail. I have actually bought several of their products and all seem very well made for the money. I know most of their stuff is not made in the USA, but the smaller LGS's that I frequent all carry something from UTG, so I still feel like I am supporting at least the local business' if I buy UTG stuff from them.
I need to go through my parts box again, I think I have enough small parts to build up another upper and lower receiver sans the barrel. Maybe build a 11.5 inch pistol in .300 for deer hunting.

Awesome! When I move to a free state I'm gonna turn one of my AR-9 builds into an AR pistol. I can't wait.

Thanks, I want to build a 9mm pistol as well, but you can get upper and lower receiver assemblies from PSA and put one together for around $500. I don't know how much I have in my 5.56 build but it's gonna be north of $1K easy. I had a bunch of the parts already, so I guess you could say I built it over time, making paying for it easier, but the sticker shock is still a biatch.

I feel ya. Every gun I've built has been over $1k. I start out with a budget build in mind. Then I go higher end parts in the end.

But you never regret it!!!

Hell no! I live my builds.

My dumb ass is considering doing a SLR rifle works build in distressed grey.... 2019. Mid length gas system and probably a slr mini comp.

why, cause America!

Before I built my pistol, I bought off the shelf AR's and modded them into what I wanted. Dunno where I am gonna go from here. 9mm PDW, .300 pistol for deer hunting, .308 SPR, ??????

Yes, yes, and yes.

All Three. FWIW because of @John A. I built an AR-9 for my wife and loved it so much I'm building another one for myself. So I vote 9mm PDW for your next project.

BTW how's the Holosun Green Elite sight? I'm seriously considering it for my AR-9 Build

Mine quickly became one of my favorites also. Im considering building a carbine as well. And although slightly different, not that bad.
