Nice rig. It seems as though i like AR pistols, most folks just don't bother with them. I just wanna see some badass pics. mine is'nt done yet, but if this thread survives long enough, I'll post pics of my half-way finished pistol.

I sell a lot of AR pistols to California. I'm trying to get a few built up with high end parts, like Magpul furniture, Noveske barrels, etc.

How do you sell those to California? What about the approved handguns list, and other BS they have there, how do you get around that?

Exemptions. I'm using their own laws against them. The DOJ can't do jack about it. We've got their backs against the wall and will have the roster list null and void by 2010. That's how I roll. My company specializes in giving the CA DOJ migraines and legal chaos that won't go away.

Single shot exemption. Once its DROS'D as a pistol, switch out the sled for a 10 round mag, making sure to have some sort of mag lock or "bullet button".

Bobsled single shot competition "magazine" installed with a magazine lock that requires a tool to drop the mag. It's not a detachable mag since you can't use your digit to manipulate the release. There is no law preventing someone from rendering a single shot pistol to semi auto after DROS (Dealer Record Of Sale, CA term). Use the tip of a round of ammunition to release the sled magazine and install a 10rd mag. Semi auto AR15 that's CA legal. Been doing this since last summer and the CA DOJ hates my guts. That means I'm doing my job.

I still have never seen anyone demonstrate how these are anything more than toys.

Ofcourse they are toys. They are totally impractical, but the are cool anyway. Some folks like single shot rifles, to me those are silly aswell.

My half-finished build.
[IMG]  [/IMG]
I used a lower receiver parts kit from Midwest Industries for the action mechanism , and though it came in a clear plastic bag with no name brand, I am pleased with it. I like light triggers so when I'm sitting around watching TV I Dry fire it With foam ear-plugs stuffed into the workings to prevent frame battering.

Just my n00b opinion..you have two ways of looking at it.
Realize and embrace the impracticality of the AR pistol.
Get the smallest barrel you can find and just have fun plinking, making a huge fireball, and generally scaring the guys to the left and right of your bench.
or
Try to make it as practical as possible.
That being making it the size of your average SBR. 10.3in-12in barrel.
What do you have in mind cal. wise?
