Tactical Machining has the templates marked as out of stock. I'll call this week an put it on backorder.

I called Tactical Machining. They said the templates are almost complete and should be ready by the end of the week. I'm going to place my order by Friday!

Thanks! I was just cruising the RRA site and noticed they have a pretty complete line of AR pistol components. I was actually wondering if I should just use their buffer tube and use a Wolff buffer spring and a Spikes tungsten buffer or just use the RRA system.

Can you tell me your thoughts on 7 vs. 11??

The great thing about AR pistols is (right now) they are as close as we can get to owning a "SBR"-ish type firearm in CA. The Colt Commando design was a 10.5-inch system and there is plenty of reliability built into it because of the amount of use, time and money already in that system.

The 7.5 is really a small upper assembly and I use a KX3 on mine to funnel that blast forward. I personally think that there exists a positive defensive application of an AR pistol. If you're worried about exceeding that 2500 fps mark for terminal ballistic effects, I would say additional work with some of the varmint loadings (30, 36 40 grain) projectiles is needed. The defensive use of short barrel AR uppers is in its infancy right now so time will tell.
