AR Pistol Build

[edgehill]

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.

What's the barrel length on that upper?

It’s 8.5” with a 1:7 twist.

Nice work! Looking forward to the range report.

I'd be interested in your thoughts/feedback on the folding mount as well.
