It's done...finally...

in General Firearms #1


PSA 8.5" 5.56 MLOK upper
Ruger lower
SOB Brace
Magpul BUS
Magpul MOE grip
Magpul Enhanced trigger guard
Ambidextrous safety
Vortex SPARC II Red Dot
25" overall length...

Without a doubt the handiest AR variant I've ever used...everybody that picks it up and shoots it ends up wanting one...

I have found that I prefer to use 20 round magazines though I tried a friend's Magpul 60 round mag in it...the coolness factor was off the charts but it's just too heavy to be practical....

More detailed range report to follow...

    Very nice! I beed to follow your lead and make a shorter setup luke this. It looks very handy.
    Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

    Is it an SBR? I mean the bbl is 8" long?

    No.. it's a pistol. Under 26"', has a a BATF approved brace that cannot be adjusted for length as opposed to a stock, lower was sold as a pistol lower and registered with the state as a pistol.

    Very well done! You SUCK.

    I LIKE it! Looks like it will get the job done.

    I bought one of the Shockwave Technologies Blade braces for my pistol AR but haven't tested it yet.

    I like it, my box'Oparts is full and I need to put one together, are you able to compare the SOB to a Sig brace in your experience?

    Fair enough, I am thinking the braces are not going to change things very much brace to brace being that the have to be of a similar dimension.
