Sweet. Been thinking about a pistol build on one of my lowers. Just haven't researched all the technicalities yet. There was a box on the form when I purchased them for long gun, handgun, or "other" and the dealer checked "other".

Follow the build and ask questions, Let me make the mistakes for you if you want. :-)

I figure it should work much like my first AR15 build except a different buffer, and shorter barrel/gas system.

I also heard that the gas system tends to affect cycling. Hopefully I'll overcome that.

Will definitely keep an eye on your post. Assembly should be no different than a rifle but I will be curious to see what sort of issues present themselves as far as reliable functioning goes.

Good luck. [Beer]

Might I suggest a Noveske sling end plate for this? I have them on two of my rifle and I love them. Would make a nice way to quickly attach a single point sling if you wanted. This is a picture I swiped off the internet...

I actually was looking around, I saw one i liked made by magpul but that has extra bar on it that could get tangled. I'll look into that one, a single-point sling is going to be needed to add to the effect of the pistols I'm looking for.

I went through several sling plates before I finally settled on the Noveske. The first one was an off brand that I didn't like at all. The second was the Magpul but I didn't care for the metal ring flopping around when the sling wasn't being used. I have heard of people cutting the ring off and just attaching something to the bar the ring was on but I just didn't like that either. Next, I found a GG&G that I liked a lot but it was definitely for right hand use only and I wanted something that was more for ambidextrous use. The Noveske gives me the ability to quickly attach or detach a sling without having anything extra rattling around when the sling is off and having a rotating QD sling swivel mounted in the center of the rifle lets me transition from strong to weak side shoulder easily.

But by all means, run what you want. [Beer]

Now that you mention the rattling I definately do not want it. I guess I didn't think of it. This one is cool, I like the ability to use a quick-disconnect, and it is amboidextrous. That will keep both pistols looking alike while still functinal in the left hand for the lefty.

Got the LPKs in the mail from Palmetto today, I installed one in the right-handed one, but I am going to get a couple Ambidextrous components yet for the left-handed so I am going to wait until those get in the mail to install the left LPK.

Sure are! They fit perfectly, Just has to take a dremel and zip a little bit off the inside tab to get the RRA tube to fit through the plate, but other than that they are exactly what I wanted it to look like! :-D
