Shouldn't these be considered submachine guns? They have the same length and size, fire the same caliber ammunition... I don't see the difference other than it being a modified AR.
Also, it would be really cool to have one of these in 10mm Auto
couple of recent developments for pistol lovers.... caa cheek pieces are OK (decision in 2011) to attach to the buffer tube as long as you dont include the stock. also if your pistol is over 26" than it is a "firearm" not a "pistol" or a "rifle" you can attach a vertical fore grip as long as it is not concealed . Just remember when building always start with a stripped lower that has never had the word rifle used in any paperwork.
sweet pistol, been interested in one of these ever since I saw Willem Dafoe's character use one at the end of Clear and Present danger and thought wtf is that?? Apparently his was an Olympic Arms OA-93 pistol in 5.56 x 45mm (THE only AR-15 pistol sold with select fire, or so they say.) That gun in that caliber would be a bitch on full-auto. Where did you get the front grip/forearm?
@air2142 For once somebody knows what they are talking about. MG>SBR or anything else. If its a machine gun you can do whatever you want (minus suppressor)
I completely agree wouldn't even consider it without the buffer tube balances it adds control helps aiming and it just feels right and i want my guns to feel right
I live in Texas and I was going to build an AR lower to put a 9mm upper on it, but this AR pistol looks pretty BA. BUT, do you have to register the lower as a pistol lower in order to have the short barrel on it and do I have to pay the ATF to have that short barrel?
@blackdew80 It has to be a virgin lower, and I think it's marked as "other" on the 4473. You do not have to pay the fees to the ATF if you build it without a stock, but you need to verify all of that for yourself. Be safe! John
cool gun, but the mpa defender with 10" barrel is more accurate, more compact, and more relieable; and still hold 30+rounds. have you tried a kel tec plr16????
@WeWantGoodCovers . You also "build" a model airplane which doesn't have to modeled "fresh new". Why quibble about word use in this case? We know perfectly well what he meant! Sheesh people nowadays!!
@CombatRZero Yes, to build a plane, you have to model it fresh new, new parts etc.. AND you HAVE to MAKE, each little part, melt the metal down, shape it the way you want, THATS creating. He just modified and existing AR15 model, trimmed some parts here others there, thats not creating
never fails to make me lol at how Americans always talk about home defense. What are you guys so scared of? I live in a country where people dont get shot very often at all, mostly because (i think) we arent as scared and automatic rifles arent sold here. Think about it, you guys could live with your minds at ease if you all chilled out and got rid of your auto rifles. Let me be clear, guns arent a bad thing. Many people in my area own .308 bolt actions for pig hunting, i go with them often.
@LemoneyFishmas you are one of the many people who really don't get it, criminals don't follow the law, lets take AU where acording to your channel you live, a criminals could get aa semi auto weapon and kill someone look at the uk criminals with aj 47s nd uzis criminals are the people who you don't want to have the guns but gun control doesnt stop them, look at cuba gun ban yet high gun murder rate llok at the uk and canada thier gun mrder rate rose as did home invasions, you think a bolt
@LemoneyFishmas action can beet an uzi? but a semi auto has a better chance, pump shotguns a legitimate self defence tool is banned in AU, just becuase tec moves on you rights should too, i believe the machinegun ban should be repealed, why? becuase criminals still get and use machines guns illegally, look at the usa the places with the mose gun control have the highest crime its a fact, i'd rather have 10 home breaks ins in my life and have tools to defend myself than once and not, but in the
@LemoneyFishmas the right to bear owns is human right and ANY control is really a violation of it, as the main use for these is to tell a man like hitler if someone like that ever comes to power that we don't want you and have a relovution good look fighting an army with weapons of ww1
Bushmaster sells them. Other than added weight, why not put a collapsable stock on the buffer tube? Would it then technically be a rifle and then illegal?

@radicaledward40 It does not cause any problems. It's the light refracting off of the smoke from the lead round nose reloads that I am using up for plinking & testing.

im not an expert on guns but really getting into them, why dont you just get a 9mm glock and if need be throw a 30 round mag in it if you need to, (i think theyre 30 maybe 20, either way same idea)
@drewsterm7 there are 32 round mags for glocks but i think what he likes is the weight and the size of the ar pistol as well as the fact that if he wanted to he could change it back into a 223
@C172Pilotdude There may be longer tubes available, but I didn't want one. I liked the look of the Rock River, so that's what I bought. They are too much fun. Be safe! John
Yea I had a RRA pistol.. I had it for a long time then I got tired of it.. I wanted a long rifle.. But now I would like to have another one.. Chamber in 9mm of coarse.
Are there any ways that I can build a pistol like this from any rifle receiver, or any receiver for that matter? I have a receiver, but it was never barreled, and I believe (that's the magic word) it was buoght as a rifle by the previous owner. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks in advance.
I personally own a bushmaster carbon 15 pistol and I love the gun but it is hard for me to build it cuz I can't seem to find a good websites to get part from what site would you recommend?
@12ghozt26 I use AR15.com forums to read what others are doing & to ask questions. There are other informational websites on the web, but that's the one I use. John
@shopperman2007 There is no "upgrade" required for FMJ's. It will shoot them just fine. I'm sure you could readily engage full size targets out to 100 yards with a high percentage of hits, but I will try to verify that, next time I have it out. Be safe! John
The 5.56 has that violent blast, like he says in the video...the 9mm is a much weaker load, BUT with a barrel like that the 9mm bullet is probably running at .357 mag ballistics. That'll ruin your day, all right.
i served as a conscript back in 03-06, and i was trained primarily with an AR15. and i gotta ask, wouldn't it burn the heck outta your supporting hand when you hold that metallic area infront of the mag???
@cerrutiboy 9mm does not get as hot as 5.56, and I have never felt the 5.56 rifles get that hot, but you have probably fired a lot more rounds at one time, than I have. Be safe! John
@sootch00 I like the compactness of that AR pistol..very cool. Do you know the overall length and if an upper chambered in Fn 5.7x28mm will work on this lower. I'd use the 5.7 for indoors then probly switch out to .223 when i'm using as my car gun
Hey Sootch, what kind of mount for the optic and flashlight is being used for this video. I am wanting to build a 9mm AR pistol after seeing this video and I want to copy the setup you have. Give me some of the build details please. Thanks
@Starstreak817 The carry handle mount on that pistol was made by a company called Quik-2-See, who is now out of business. I have a cantilever mount for the red dot, but I had to turn it around to keep the red dot tube from hitting the front sight assembly. There are several companies who currently make a "gooseneck" mount similar to the one I have, and any of those shoud work. If you go with a flat top rec'r, it will be even more simple. Good luck with you build. John
@Starstreak817 Also, the Quik-2-See mount has quick attachment points built into it, which is where my light is mounted in the vids. I like it there because I can access the tail switch with my offhand thumb very easily. Later! John
Hey, thanks for the response... i really wasn't into the AR for the simple fact, (to me at least) it seems like a "diva" gun all the lubing and cleaning, not that i don't clean my guns after every use, But (and you may laugh) in a "Mad Max" world where are you going to get the lube and cleaning stuff to maintain the gun. That's why i like the AK. But when i saw this "AR pistol" I fell in love, of course i have to get it in .223. I'm really thinking of getting it... we'll see, hey thx 4 all U do.
@MakeYaBootyBurn I hear ya on the mad max world... I have a gas piston m4 and am putting a buffer in it that provents all carrier tilt... It is my madmax gun... Its kinda of like a mix with AR and AK... I respect the AK but I dont really like them... But like I said I respect them... Same ammo to heavy and I think it looks ugly...LOL I know I know...LOL Either way both are good.
I wanted to ask, does the "tube" (where you rest your face) does that or can it extend to your shoulder? for more support? or can it be replaced with one that does?
@MakeYaBootyBurn You can put a padded sleeve on the tube but extending it out would make it a Short barrel rifle and restricted under the NFA, kind of like a sawed off shotgun. They are illegal without a $200 tax stamp and FBI background check.
i live in california and iv seen those sold at gun stores all over around hear and iv never heard you need an extra backround check to make it into a pistol. and california is the hitler of gun legislation
@FishingVo It is standard light, but I added a Butler Creek flip up scope cap that is supplied with a yellow lens, but I change it out to a red gel. You can use the red lenses
from the old crook neck milspec flashlights, too. Good Luck! John
Fun toy, but I am sceptical. The length of the tube makes the weapon as long on the back end as my M4. I just cannot find a situation in which a few inches of barel length is worth the range and accuracy... anyone who has cleared rooms with an M4 will likely agree that it is already short enough for the task... But I guess this one can fit under your pillow!
Good discussion starting around 2:00 btw. Explains the quirky advantages of the AR pistol form under current law. It's a non-NFA firearm (i.e., doesn't require specialized federal registration) with a short barrel, and the buffer tube behind the pistol receiver provides at least a partial point of contact with the cheek that goes beyond most handguns.
The buffer tube's inherent to the AR action. You won't have that on, e.g., an AK-47 pistol build, so it's not as usable as the AR pistol.
@classof77 I built it for the fun factor & because I could, but after shooting it for a while, the other adavntages are becoming more apparent. Be safe! John
Nice job with the video Would like to see the target get chawed up or some dirt flying on video too. That would fit in the door pocket of my truck perfectly
Who needs a reason to own or build one, I think when you say 223 pistol to anyone they should recognize a loophole and get one while they can! FYI, mines a great camping buddy.
@1965lo There are many pro's & cons. The AR is less cost in the firearm, and the mags. The H&K MP-5 is a world class firearm, second to few, but much higher in cost and it is very hard to find, since it was banned from import, several years ago. The AR platform for a pistol is relatively new to the civilian market, but I believe it's popularity will grow rapidly, in the next few years. The AR already has an incredible parts following. You can build one in many different configurations. John
I can't see carrying this in any way concealed , maybe in the trunk. As for home defense my 12 ga. or my Glock. You can buy a Glock and a Rem 870 for the price of this thing.
I just got one I saw it & had 2 get it

@SpiritofAdventure22 The AR pistol is made from an AR platform, and I never said the magazine goes through the grip, I said the magazine IS the grip.
The platform itself is slightly modified so the trigger is in front of the magazine.
Once again, if you really doubt me that much I can e-mail you the picture.
Also, what exactly makes these so called AR pistols a pistol anyway?
Size?
Weight?

Are there any ways that I can build a pistol like this from any rifle receiver, or any receiver for that matter? I have a receiver, but it was never barreled, and I believe (that's the magic word) it was buoght as a rifle by the previous owner. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks in advance.

I personally own a bushmaster carbon 15 pistol and I love the gun but it is hard for me to build it cuz I can't seem to find a good websites to get part from what site would you recommend?

@12ghozt26 I use AR15.com forums to read what others are doing & to ask questions. There are other informational websites on the web, but that's the one I use. John

is it possible to upgrade the barrel to shot full metal jackets? just curious about the range on that thing enjoyed ur video post
shopperman2007 1 year ago
@shopperman2007 There is no "upgrade" required for FMJ's. It will shoot them just fine. I'm sure you could readily engage full size targets out to 100 yards with a high percentage of hits, but I will try to verify that, next time I have it out. Be safe! John

Is there an AR pistol version like the S&W, M&P 15-22 that shoots 5.56/223 without the buffer bar in the back?
sphinx013 1 year ago
The 5.56 has that violent blast, like he says in the video...the 9mm is a much weaker load, BUT with a barrel like that the 9mm bullet is probably running at .357 mag ballistics. That'll ruin your day, all right.
roentgen571 1 year ago
i served as a conscript back in 03-06, and i was trained primarily with an AR15. and i gotta ask, wouldn't it burn the heck outta your supporting hand when you hold that metallic area infront of the mag???
cerrutiboy 1 year ago
@cerrutiboy 9mm does not get as hot as 5.56, and I have never felt the 5.56 rifles get that hot, but you have probably fired a lot more rounds at one time, than I have. Be safe! John

Oh man, my dad owns an AR15 and the barrel gets soooo hot. Like, too hot to touch.

@sootch00 I like the compactness of that AR pistol..very cool. Do you know the overall length and if an upper chambered in Fn 5.7x28mm will work on this lower. I'd use the 5.7 for indoors then probly switch out to .223 when i'm using as my car gun

@sootch00 It's more like a submachine gun to me. (Though SMGs are also called machine pistols, based on what I've read). :-)

Hey Sootch, what kind of mount for the optic and flashlight is being used for this video. I am wanting to build a 9mm AR pistol after seeing this video and I want to copy the setup you have. Give me some of the build details please. Thanks
Starstreak817 1 year ago
@Starstreak817 The carry handle mount on that pistol was made by a company called Quik-2-See, who is now out of business. I have a cantilever mount for the red dot, but I had to turn it around to keep the red dot tube from hitting the front sight assembly. There are several companies who currently make a "gooseneck" mount similar to the one I have, and any of those shoud work. If you go with a flat top rec'r, it will be even more simple. Good luck with you build. John
TheOtherEddie 1 year ago
@Starstreak817 Also, the Quik-2-See mount has quick attachment points built into it, which is where my light is mounted in the vids. I like it there because I can access the tail switch with my offhand thumb very easily. Later! John

Hey, thanks for the response... i really wasn't into the AR for the simple fact, (to me at least) it seems like a "diva" gun all the lubing and cleaning, not that i don't clean my guns after every use, But (and you may laugh) in a "Mad Max" world where are you going to get the lube and cleaning stuff to maintain the gun. That's why i like the AK. But when i saw this "AR pistol" I fell in love, of course i have to get it in .223. I'm really thinking of getting it... we'll see, hey thx 4 all U do.
MakeYaBootyBurn 1 year ago
@MakeYaBootyBurn I hear ya on the mad max world... I have a gas piston m4 and am putting a buffer in it that provents all carrier tilt... It is my madmax gun... Its kinda of like a mix with AR and AK... I respect the AK but I dont really like them... But like I said I respect them... Same ammo to heavy and I think it looks ugly...LOL I know I know...LOL Either way both are good.
joezbackwith2gatz 1 year ago
I wanted to ask, does the "tube" (where you rest your face) does that or can it extend to your shoulder? for more support? or can it be replaced with one that does?
MakeYaBootyBurn 1 year ago
@MakeYaBootyBurn You can put a padded sleeve on the tube but extending it out would make it a Short barrel rifle and restricted under the NFA, kind of like a sawed off shotgun. They are illegal without a $200 tax stamp and FBI background check.

@FishingVo It is standard light, but I added a Butler Creek flip up scope cap that is supplied with a yellow lens, but I change it out to a red gel. You can use the red lenses
from the old crook neck milspec flashlights, too. Good Luck! John

goodnightChesty1775 1 year ago
@goodnightChesty1775 I intend to buy a .223/5.56 pistol upper, some day. That's another
nice thing about the Olympic Arms style AR pistols. The lowers for them are standard for
the .223/5.56's, with the only exception being the mag blocks, which are easily removed,
when needed. Good Luck! John

Fun toy, but I am sceptical. The length of the tube makes the weapon as long on the back end as my M4. I just cannot find a situation in which a few inches of barel length is worth the range and accuracy... anyone who has cleared rooms with an M4 will likely agree that it is already short enough for the task... But I guess this one can fit under your pillow!

LFRPHOTOGRAPHY 1 year ago
Good discussion starting around 2:00 btw. Explains the quirky advantages of the AR pistol form under current law. It's a non-NFA firearm (i.e., doesn't require specialized federal registration) with a short barrel, and the buffer tube behind the pistol receiver provides at least a partial point of contact with the cheek that goes beyond most handguns.
The buffer tube's inherent to the AR action. You won't have that on, e.g., an AK-47 pistol build, so it's not as usable as the AR pistol.

You can really see the reduced muzzle blast and "flash" at 4:25... lower flash than a .223... yet another advantage.

Who needs a reason to own or build one, I think when you say 223 pistol to anyone they should recognize a loophole and get one while they can! FYI, mines a great camping buddy.

what are the advantages of this vs h & k mp5
1965lo 1 year ago
@1965lo There are many pro's & cons. The AR is less cost in the firearm, and the mags. The H&K MP-5 is a world class firearm, second to few, but much higher in cost and it is very hard to find, since it was banned from import, several years ago. The AR platform for a pistol is relatively new to the civilian market, but I believe it's popularity will grow rapidly, in the next few years. The AR already has an incredible parts following. You can build one in many different configurations. John
