AR Pistol Build
Charlie recently posted his AR pistol build from Palmetto State. I bought a lower from them last year and recently got a pistol kit from them. I finished putting it together today. Took about two hours, but the upper was delivered complete so I just had to put the lower together.
I wished I had taken pictures as I went. But here it is. https://i.imgur.com/nA2AG4Tl.jpg Complete Upper https://i.imgur.com/WVM6GBCl.jpg Buffer and buffer tube spring https://i.imgur.com/TDntWvrl.jpg Buffer tube https://i.imgur.com/YHCxUZ1l.jpg It came with the Blade pistol brace https://i.imgur.com/SmRxoMUl.jpg I found this tool to help with the pivot pin. Took me less than a minute to set this pin. https://i.imgur.com/6MMUq3Cl.jpg I also got the Sylvan Arms Folding Stock adapter. Folded, the length is at 20 inches. https://i.imgur.com/JAsQ1q2l.jpg It is a total length of 26 inches. It’s not as heavy as a lot of pistols I’ve seen. I also have a red dot for it that I will mount on it. All the function tests went well, so I’ll take it to the range later this week and give it a test run and dial in the red dot. |
that's awesome.....can't wait for a range report! I like that!!

AR Pistol Build
Just mounted the red dot. I went cheap-o and got a red dot at the gun show for $45. It’s by a company called Electro Dot.
https://i.imgur.com/aZFWhuZl.jpg I got the lower for $30. I got the pistol kit on sale for $350. So I’m at about $450 if you don’t count the tools I got for this, which weren’t that expensive. Should make a good car rifle. Total empty weight is 6-1/4 pounds. Also this is the video I followed to out the lower together. https://youtu.be/p8sY5CQmlHI |
On the price, I forgot to add the cost of the Sylvan folding mount. That adds $180 to the cost. So if you’re trying to go under $500, skip that mount.

That is pretty sweet to be under $500! That is a great pricepoint I feel.

What's the barrel length on that upper? |
Quote:
It’s 8.5” with a 1:7 twist. |
Nice work! Looking forward to the range report.
