| My latest AR build
I picked up this Jolly Roger lower a month or two ago. I didn't know what I wanted to do with it, but eventually decided an AR pistol was in order.
I just got the barrel in yesterday, after waiting for it to come off backorder.
I'm still missing a couple of parts, namely the fore end. I ordered a free float tube directly from DPMS, but that was about a month ago....  I may end up canceling it and going another route, but time will tell. I'm also waiting on it so it can be dipped.... 
On to pics!
Stripped lower: 
Its now got a YHM stripped upper, still missing a carrier and bolt, PSA MOE LPK, AR-Stoner 7.5" barrel, single point sling. 
And of course, this handy dust cover, taken from another AR 
More updates and pics will come as it becomes completed!

I'd like to see an AK pistol. I don't think I ever have in person.

Looks great. I love to make AR's.
An AK is a little more intense build, I did a 16 inch underfolder last year, take your time and it should be ok.

How much does something like that cost to build? I've been wanting an AR pistol but not for the retail pricing.

Should be in the $6-700 range when I'm done.
I'm still waiting for the free float tube from DPMS. I email them about it and they said that they are waiting to get those in from production. Whatever that means. Other than that, all it needs is a bolt carrier and some ammo! I've got a lot of other stuff going on now, so this has taken a back seat for a while.

Very nicely done. I have never been a bid fan of the personal defense weapon idea in a non military seting bu if you want one go for it.

It won't be a PDW. Just for plinking and fun. I SUPPOSE, if there were to be an apocalypse or something, this would be a great secondary backup to a primary rifle, as it is small and can hang on the sling out of the way.
It's also good for open carry of a "handgun" to irk the antis!  | |
