Project Gremlin 1.0 is slowly starting to take shape... Lower clamped into its machining jig, buffer kit stowed inside handguard, standard LPK safety already thrown into spares box and replaced with ambi. Timing washers and muzzle devices are stowed in the vault with the rifle they were originally meant for, so I'll mooch those and buy replacements later--they'll be less needed on the 6"-longer barrel.
Temporary upper not yet ordered--once the basic concept is tested with a 10.5 in the 1.0 build, I'll order a Daniel Defense or Andro Corp 10.3 FSB barrel for Gremlin 2.0's Aero upper and a Tennessee Arms hybrid lower, and the 1.0 complete upper with its factory handguard restored and this lower will be reassembled into a plinker pistol. (Yeah, I know, "buy once cry once" but part of the purpose here is gradual steps to slowly develop my gunsmithing skills--first finishing a lower from 80% blank, then assembling an unbarreled upper, then assembling and debugging a pistol, and finally barreling for the next few steps.)

^^Now that truly is the REAL "Leetle Friend"^^
Nice.
Thanks for the compliments! I used a 16" F1 Arms mid-length fluted barrel. I had my local shop bead blast the exterior, and apply a Teflon coating. I'm getting nice and tight groupings at the 25 meter zeroing range, so I have high expectations for it out at distance. The optics I'm considering are the following: Accupower 1-8, Vortex HD Razor II 1-6, Leupold MR/T 1.5-5.

My 7.5, thanks to the ATF now legal to shoulder, which is great for me, my back and neck are fused and with the Blade I can get the AR in a better position to get a great sight picture. Once I got the gas block dialed in it has run everything I put through it. The combination of the PWS DI Carrier and H3 buffer really make this Pistol a joy to shoot, and the added weight of the PWS Gen 2 Carrier increase dwell time
