Well I built an AR Pistol on to an 80% lower T/M I machined.
It's a 7-1/2" stainless barrel. I can't remember but I think it's a YHM handgaurd.
I shot it the other day. A total of (2) rounds.
I've decided I don't like it. I like the way it looks, but don't like shooting it.
So I was thinking, should I try to sell/ trade the upper?
Or could I thread/pin an extension on and convert it to a Rifle and put a stock
on it.
Thoughts?
This is a Calif Legal Pistol, has bullet button and 10 ound Magazine.

What don't yo ulike? Only 2 rounds is difficult to make a final desicion.

 

[Gozuki]

Sell it as a pistol after you volreg it.

:laughing:

 

[Halogrinder]

lol no kidding, how is 2 rounds going to make your decision?!

 

[jettscott]

OMG!!! It's too loud brah! :flipoff2:

Anyway, what can be converted, cannot be unconverted. (or somesuch nonsense)

What sling is that?

 

[anchovy]

How much do you want for it?

Pm me a price.

Wrong. You can make a pistol into a rifle, but you can't make a rifle into a pistol.*



* Except the latest "interpretation" letter that seems to refute that, apparently for the contender like kits.

 

[jettscott]

But, but, but... if you converted a pistol to a rifle, then it's a rifle. A rifle is non-convertable to a pistol.

Seriously, I was thinking wrong, no?

 

[kryan]

Exactly, rifle2pistol NO pistol2rifle Yes

I don't want to sell the lower. I had some personal engraving done while it was a paperweight.

It didn't take long to figure out I just didn't like it.
It is loud as FUCK, and I don't like not having a stock.


What about just taking off the muzzle break, and having a threaded stainless
barrel extension, threaded on, and a litlle spotweld (so it's permenate).
or
Part barrel extension part FAKE CAN.?

 

[kryan]

Could I just unthread the Muzzle break
and thread on a 10" chunk of barrel, or would the gas system need to be modified?
Maybe it would be cheaper to just buy a new barrel? But then would I have
to worry about headspacing?

Thanks for any help advise.

 

[Gozuki]

A new barrel would be the easiest. You shouldn't have to re headspace, but checking is good.

I put a Levang comp on my 10.5" AR pistol, it works really well.

PM me a price as well.

Thumbs Up for JSE SURPLUS

A solution has been obtained.
They are allowing me to send back my pistol kit and buffer tube.
And they are going to send out a replacment M4 barrel.
All is well, thanks for the input.
By the Way.
AR Pistols fun to look at. Not fun to shoot. my .02

Thanks OSR
