If you're doing a pistol, 300 blackout is a fun round
AR-15
- Thread starter Jcalder
- Start date
And can be swapped from the .223/5.56 upper for other purposes with a 2 pin push pull.
That's another perk. Same lower, same mags.Matttannet

Also to note...300 blackout runs good subsonic and a suppressor...which now a days are easy and quick to build. My last one the stamp took 20 days to get

My night stand, truck pistol is a Bear Creek Arsenal 300BLK 10 inch upper, bolt locked back, 30 rnd P-Mag, 3 spares. Started with a stripped lower.
What's the deal with the top of the brace where it looks like a strap may go thru. I've seen a few of these but don't understand the function.

The brace is for one handed firing of the pistol, the strap secures it to your forearm.
I use mine for my truck gun. Much easier to get around in the truck.
Yes. After my run in with those two thugs from Chattanooga last Fall I had to re-evaluate my vehicle preparedness. I have a carry handgun, but realized that, against two(or more) assailants it wasn't close to adequate.
I've heard a lot of folks say that a pistol is something you use to get to your rifle.
The AR pistol solves that dilemma.

I thought the same thing when I bought mine.
I don't carry it on me. My handgun gets me to my truck and my truck gets me home.

Sounds like you've already done your homework. All I have to offer is ...
1) know the price ranges and determine what you want to spend, you can spend hundreds to thousands very easily.
2) my son (who at the time was 11 and 80 lbs soaking wet) killed his first buck with my FN-15, red dot plus a 3x flip out magnifier made it super simple for a juvenile hunter at a short to medium range, no scope relief issues, recoil is minimal, adjustable stock, just an all around excellent gun for younglings IMO.
3) I think your purpose of use will probably help you with any decision-making.
Best of luck.

Thanks for all the help and advice. I've ordered a stripped lower and a pistol kit. For what I'm wanting I think the compact pistol will fill the bill perfectly.
Which one did you have before the boating accident?
Be patient on the shipping, the upper and kit got to me within a week. My lower was five weeks behind. When you get your kit check all your parts, I had a trigger disconnect missing, let them know and it arrived before my lower so no biggie.
The bolt release was a hair tight in the lower,1000 grit paper and oil and it's as smooth as butter.
I'm sure I'll be like a kid in the candy store when it gets here lol

LOL just make sure you've got some candy (ammo) to feed it with! Ive yet to have a parts shortage on anything Ive ordered but in the event that you do, Ive got plenty of parts laying around.
