    Every year, I take my holiday bonus and buy myself something nice. This year, it came in the form of a new AR pistol build. I am LOVING this one....

    Utilizing all the Black Friday and Holiday deals, I was able to build this for right about $700

    DETAILS:

    Anderson Manufacturing stripped lower
    CMMG Lower Parts Lit
    Magpul pistol grip
    KG Stinger II 7" upper in 5.56
    KAK Industries SB-15 buffer tube
    Sig Tac Pistol Brace
    Bushnell TRS-25 hi-rise
    Magpul AFG-2





    Can't wait to take her out for a spin!

    Please excuse my AR ignorance, but what is the difference between this AR pistol, and an SBR?

    Man that looks so awesome.

    I'm having a real tough time deciding between a 7.5" and a 10.5" barrel. Ive heard alot of not so good about 5.56/.223 out of a 7.5" but man they are so tiny!

    Sweet build.

    Somebody step in if I'm wrong, but I remember hearing that .223 out of the short barrels is comparable to a .38

    Maybe, but accuracy and cycling becomes an issue if not adjusted correctly. Also apparently loud and concussive to the point of it being ridiculous. I just haven't figured out if I want one that works right away, (10.5" at the sacrifice of a longer overall length), or one I MAY have to fiddle with before it works well, (7.5" nice and little overall). I'm building the upper, as well, instead of buying one, hence my dilemma.
