Help with AR

[amonillas]

Apologies and thanks to all for any input , a bit of a noob when it comes to ARs and cali laws

[Master_Prestige]

Can you elaborate on the AR pistol , they have my attention but confused with the laws around them etc.

I was thinking about getting a CA7 and swapping the upper with a palmetto or aero ..if i did that would I still be able to have features and then slap a mag lock /kingpin ?

A palmetto pistol upper sounds violent lol. They ship their pistols with H1 buffers and incorrect sized gas blocks which makes them extremely unpleasant to shoot.

Yeah you need a king pin and Maglock and only 10 round mags.

Get the CA7 and build an upper from scratch using high quality components.

Anyone have fixed mag builds they like and care to share ?

AR pistol

Upper MK18, Trijicon MRO, Metal BUS , cloud defense OWL,

Lower Aero, Geissele trigger , Geissele buffer system , gen4 Maglock and king pin, 10 round mag , SBA3
Ferro concepts M81 slingster

And for the rifle I’d want to spend around 8-900 ish

I'm out.

And why do you guys keep recommending AR Pistols. You aren't even gonna get a lower for less than 1k.

Upper- $850
Trijicon-$350
OWL-$300
BUIS- $150

Lower-$100
Trigger-$180
Bufferkit-$100
SBA3-$80
Kingpin/lock-$90
Sling- priceless

I only buy gun parts on sale or no tax. This was built years ago and a lower is going to cost about $7-800 now ??? You can definitely build a cheaper lighter upper. I have a couple but something about the MK18 just feels right

As for building are you competent with tools and familiar with the procedures of assembling your own upper receiver ?

Unless you are willing to spend $1000+ on an AR Pistol Lower, I would just skip the AR pistol route for now.

Just get a quality pinned 14.5" upper. Calguns group think will revolve around price first, everything else secondary. Get ready for terms like "just as good", "Black Friday", and "optics planet coupon".

I haven't noticed anything violent with my PSA pistol, other than the noise.

Isn't this discussion moot anyway, if OP is in CA?

With a 20” barrel and a carry handle upper (A2 or A4) you won’t need an optic if you have good or corrected vision.

OP, don't screw around with any 14.5" pinned-and-welded BS, it will just cause you grief down the road. Just buy an ordinary run of the mill PSA 16" barreled AR to start. After you've used it for awhile, you can put stuff on the other one that suits your wants. Don't just buy them both because you don't know what you want yet.

Just get yourself an Anderson ar and call it a day for 0-200 yards.
