    Ar pistol question?

    Wanting to build my first AR pistol on a completed 80% lower. Does the flash suppressor need to be welded and pinned on the barrel or can it simply be threaded on? Just want to keep it legal. Thanks

      youll have a bullet button / mag lock on your ar pistol so no need to pin n weld flash suppressor

        On a separate note. Is building a pistol overkill. Just wanted to build something cool on the lower. Don't really have a need for an ar pistol. Just wanted something different. Is this build worth the money and trouble?

          I wouldn't waste a perfectly good completed 80% on a rifle build. Give it a little time, you'll be able to buy a rifle lower at a decent price, something you won't be able to do at all with a pistol lower in CA unless you are a person exempt from the "Roster".
          I'm retired. That's right, retired. I don't want to hear about the cop who stopped you today or how you didn't think you should get a ticket. That just makes me grumpy!

            It's a fun range toy. Loud as heck, but fun to shoot. I have "a friend" who built one before all the chaos/panic for under $800. G/L doing that now. YMMV

              They seem like a lot of fun to shoot. Looking for a complete upper now. So what was the price of the pre-panic pistol upper? I found few that look promising.....but have never priced one out.

                Complete upper was around $530 from RGUNS-mixed reviews on them. BCG & CH included. There was a guy here (vitaminC?) who used to sell them in the marketplace, but I don't remember how much he sold them for.

                        Now that's what I call good prices. Maybe I'll just wait for these to get back in stock. Thanks for the link.

                          I love mine! I went 7.5" barrel and have no regrets. My OAL is 23.25" with a birdcage on.

                            Speaking of oal, what's the minimum? Or is there one.

                              If AB169 passes, no more SSE, no more AR pistols in California.
