AR pistol picture thread

Franklin Armory 11.5" SE-SSP (Self Extracting - Single Shot Pistol), the closest I can get in CA to an SBR.

i’ll contribute, fellow BB user…

A fellow Calgunner. Very nice.

What’s the setup?

Say Hello to my little-Frien… Honestly, it is small.

Spike’s “FDE” Upper/Lower, STAB & heavy buffer, LW 7.5" SS barrel, YHM FF rail, and the BCG is BCM.

Seems to shoot very well for what it is. Closest thing I can get to an SBR.

Sweet setup. What is LW?

Lothar Walther. It’s a bit shinny…

Upper and lower Mega receivers with basic RRA LPK; LT BCG, 9" rail, gasblock, index clips & handstops; BCM 11.5" barrel; LT BUIS and Troy Ind. sights; buffer tube cover courtesy of Tactical Thread Design. PRI gasbuster charging handle.

Pictured below with build in progress at the time now finished and available for your viewing pleasure a few posts below!

And now the finished design for both.

More pictures please! :happy:

I think the New 300 Blackout will change the face of the AR Pistol.

I’ve played with many 223/5.56 AR pistols in the past, but none were keepers for me. I don’t have a SBR lower, and I wanted to try the new Blackout, my first 2 300 Blackout barrels are from http://www.deltacompanyarms.com/ , I rigged up the pistol with a Sampson FF rail(recommended by Aaron of Delta Company), and an Ace pistol buffer setup. The barrel has a pistol gas system, and she runs great with the super sonic loads I’ve tried.

I have less blast with the blackout vs the 5.56, but I haven’t done any night testing(that’s whats summer is for). I don’t use this set up as a PDW yet, it still needs more testing, and I don’t have any factory ammo to use for that purpose. 125gr Nosler Ballistic tips at 2000 fps is my starting load, but I still need work up loads to see where the ceiling is. Out of a 16 inch Blackout, the 125 BT has worked well on the coyotes that didn’t run fast enough.

For a comparison, 5.56 and the 300 Blackout:

I’ve been working out seating depth, and mag function, these are the deepest I’ve seated, they are just over 2" in length.

I shoot this like a rifle, tube against my shoulder, and a good cheek weld. Shooting Bill drills and El Pres’s vs a 45acp(both starting at the low ready), at 10m the 45 pistol rocks, but when I move to 50m, and 100m, the 45 doesn’t stand a chance. This is just for me, other shooters might get a different result. I’ll need to dust off the 38 super, put in fresh batteries and test at 50m with the Blackout pistol, maybe the Comp gun has a chance, Maybe.

What’s with the Aimpoint mounted so far forward? :confused:

FOV experiments.

Hammering close targets(5m, 7m,10m) using the tube as an index, trying to hang with the 1911’s, lol.

I think this one will end up with a Micro.

Rainier Arms Billet Upper, Tactical Machining Lower Receiver (CeraKoted Graphite Black), ( 7.5" Shillen Barrel, 7" VTAC Hand Guard, Noveske KX3 PIG, Arredondo Mag-Well, AImpoint T1 Micro, Larue T1 QD Mount (CeraKoted Magpul FDE), Magpul MBUS, Gas-Buster Charging Handle, Vltor End Plate, DPMS Lower Parts Kit, YHM Extended Take-Down Pins, Magpul BAD Lever, Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard, Magpul MOE Grip, Surefire M76 QD Light Mount, Surefire G2Z, Combat Light, Spike’s Tactical Pistol Receiver Extension, TAG Single Point Sling, H&K 5.56 Magazines (CeraKoted Magpul FDE).
I do some personal Cerakote work at home. (See “Homemade Cerakote Paint Curing Oven” thread). So, added color to the Larue T1 mount, the HK magazine and I also did the lower receiver.


Here are some pics of my OD pistol finally finished! Identical to the other build with the exception of an AAC flash hider. It has LT bcg, rail, index clips & handstops, and gas block on an 11.5" BCM standard barrel. LT BUIS and Troy Ind. front sight. Magpul trigger guard, ASAP & MS2, and MOE grip. Thanks to GDS for the upper assembly!
