AR Pistol Build, thoughts and input?

[rcm192]

Im around the nola area. Mines a 5.56 if you wanna give her a run. I really want a dedicated 22lr upper and A 9mm pistol for my cans.

Are the sig arm braces comfortable to shoot with?

They are not bad. It's a little akward when you raise your arm up to bring the sight up. For me, it
requires me to have to turn my body or really tilt my head over to be able to line up the sights. YMMV

They're very comfortable if you don't strap them to your forearm.

I'm using a tros 3 lug adaptor with a aac triad mount. Used to have it mounted direct thread with fixed barrel spacer, and it recessed more, but this set up is a lot quicker.

For size reference, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rifle are 10.5 inch, 5th is the 9mm, 6th is 8.5 inch. The ends are 16

Well me and my gf exchanged gifts early. I've now got the first couple of AR parts I need for my build. Odin Works buffer tube and a FDE SB15 brace. I'm sort of leaning towards 5.56 since nearly everyone is saying that's the way to go. Atleast for a first build. I run the SB47 w/ RD spacer on my Draco. I love the feel and LOP of it.

Not sure where you are located but if there isn't a "rifle" range near by. The 9mm can generally be shot anywhere they allow pistols. Sometimes I look at my rifles and wish I shot them more, but driving an hour only on the weekend, which I only have every other one off, is difficult. Family duties come first.

I thought I was the most northern LA resident here. East or west?

 

[screamingdemon]

Northwest

Build both. ARs are cheap right now.

I would build 9mm, 5.56, and 300 blackout if I could afford it. As it stands it looks like I'll be doing a 5.56 build.

223/556 pistol is nothing but a 22 mag at 100yrds go 9mm.

he said its for home defense. at that range rifle round trumps pistol all day err day.

Numbers will be a little less with a 10.5in barrel, but 22 mag still won't touch .223/5.56.
