AR-15 Pistol Questions

[KBScobravert]

So what qualifies an AR as a pistol? No stock?

If it has never been assembled as a rifle, never been sold as a "rifle" on a 4473, you can build it as a pistol - no buttstock and any barrel length.

Those of you with SBR/pistol. What are you using for a muzzle brake? I am leaning towards a levang on a 7.5" barrel. If you have a levang what handguard are you using?

Levang and i think its a 6" YHM handguard with endcap.

Ha, Tim LaFrance style!

He was the first guy to make a super short M16 and had to make a pigtail gas tube. Long story but he unknowingly sold two to rogue agents who were going to use them to assassinate Anwar Sadat.

And not just for the shooter!

Seriously though, on my lwrc 8" lower its just stupid loud with the loudener. I love it.

[black2002ls]

7.5" barrel and levang, will a 9" free float tube be too long? I would like it to cover part of the levang. ATI is going to have 9" head down free float tubes for

Tim is a cool guy. He also races miatas with SCCA.
