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.

It came with the Blade pistol brace

I found this tool to help with the pivot pin. Took me less than a minute to set this pin.

I also got the Sylvan Arms Folding Stock adapter. Folded, the length is at 20 inches.

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!!

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.

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.

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.
