Pistol build purpose?

[Great-Kazoo]

Does one really need to justify why they build any firearm?

I bought my first AR pistol to decide if it was worth it to have an SBR, get a feel for accuracy and handling characteristics of a shorter barrel. Well I'm waiting on paperwork for SBR lower #3 now.

They are alot of fun and easy to wield. If you're worried about ballistics, there's still plenty of "tang" on steel at 300 yds with my 10.5".

If it appeals to you, then do it!

Looks like the 10.5" is the standard. I can build a multi cal lower, put a blade or arm brace on it, and then buy a complete upper to assemble all together right? No special difference between rifle and pistol except the stock?

The pistol receiver has to have been transfered as an other or pistol. If it was a rifle first it's a no no. A pistol can be converted to a rifle and back though.

I meant if I buy a blemished lower from PSA, and build it. A pistol build is the exact as a rifle build, but with a shorter BBL and no stock correct?

It's also worth noting that unless your AR pistol overall length is more than 26"(collapsed) you cannot put a vertical foregrip on it. The Magpul angled foregrip and those like it are legal though.

It's complicated like all atf bs. It cannot readily accept a stock and has to be originally sold not as a rifle.

Assbly wise yes it's just another ar.

On a similar topic, I'm curious if anyone has both a shockwave and SB15, and what what they think of them or prefer....I'm familiar with how the SB15 feels/handles, but have no experience with the shockwave blade....

I vote shockwave

Love my shockwave. No experience with the other.
