My Latest AR-Pistol Build - Going Full Battle Worn (edit)
My latest AR Build project is one that I finally decided to do for me. The last few were done for others and to their liking, but this particular AR Pistol was done to please only me.
The idea behind this AR Pistol build was to combine new AR technologies like a modern hand guard, red dot and pistol brace, but with a completely Battle Worn look, as if the firearm had been around for many, many years.
The inspiration for this build came from a picture of an old Vietnam era M-16...
My new, old AR Pistol...
Project Breakdown:
I took the old girl out on our fist date yesterday to do a basic function test, and to get a quick 25-yard zero on the irons and red dot. I can report that she ran flawlessly, and the spent brass ejected nicely at the 4 o'clock position.
I can only say that I am exceedingly pleased with how this new/old AR pistol turned out!
