AR pistol build, any thoughts?
« on: August 07, 2012, 10:29:40 AM »
Been lurking about for a couple of years, made the move to sign up today.
I have a buddy who is going to build ARs for a living, and having shot one he built up from scratch, I am pursuing the
idea of having him build one for me.
 
Now, I have two factory AR15s, a Sig R400 carbine and a Remington VTR15, that cover up close and personal to reach out and touch someone.  I also own a Remington R25 for bigger and badder things that go bump in the night.
 
Because I don't have one, I am considering having him build me an AR pistol in 5.56 NATO. Planning on a 10.5 to 11 inch barrel, a 1/7 twist, MagPul plain forearm and MOE-K PDW grip, A3 flattop receiver, and a Vortex flash suppressor.
Also want to use 20 round MagPul mags to keep a compact package.
 
Never shot one though and the muzzle blast is worrying me.  Has anyone here owned and shot one extensively?
Advice and comments welcome.
 
Thanks in advance,
