Glad your video just randomly popped up in my feed today. I was looking at the exact same setup. I have an 8.5 in currently with a Sylvan Arms folder on a SB3 brace. I can get it in my bag,but I want it a tad bit smaller. I was also considering the PDW route this time just because.
I wish I woulda went with a sb3 brace on this one.. my sylvan arms adapter won’t work on this since the brace is to wide. I wish I went with a 8.5 also… this brace does look cool though.
Pro2A tactical has a 5 inch 1:5 twist .300 blackout barrel that would be great for your build. Get an aero precision adjustable gas block too so you gas adjust the gas properly for super and subsonic ammo. 👍🏻 hope this helps.
@@Mr_P_Rockzz I just got 2 binary Franklin lowers with flat gold triggers, they were $399.99 each, Palmetto State had them, they usually have Franklin lowers in stock, just gotta wait for that daily deal to hit, you know what I’m talkin bout 😉
Watch out for that brace. I had the Maxim version & the castle nut would come loose every 150ish or so rounds. Unfortunately, with this design, theres no way to stake the castle nut.
Thanks! I actually do have a Sylvan arms adapter I plan on putting on, but I need to purchase a new brace because this brace won’t work for it. I’m thinking of now also ordering a 9 inch barrel ar with a folder so it will still fit in my bag and be little more accurate.
@@Mr_P_Rockzz if you go 9 inches you need a bigger bag. I have 2 vortx bags 1 is the over land 1 is the sling commuter 2.0 My barrel is 7.5 inches and on my sling it fits snug. Over land no issues.
Depends what you wanna use it for folding seem Better for a bag, but if you get a stock for a short barrel you are gonna have to get a tax stamp for it depending upon n your state if you can even have an SBR.
@@Mr_P_Rockzz you dont need a tax stamp because you still can have a folding stock with a pistol brace.Looking at your video and seeing the PDW not small enough to fit in a bag im going with the folding stock.But the PDW looks way cooler.
@@Gregtman502 ops I miss understood .. when you said folding stock I thought you meant an actual stock.. but you are talking about the folding Adapter and yes you can put one on then:p I thought you were talking about folding stock SBR it. Yeah I do like how those braces look better, but the backpack thing is a issue:/
I checked out that brace it looked pretty cool! I just received a 7inch 556.. I think I’m going to order a 7.62 AR from diamondback they look like nice
I like them, but not trying to pay 2000 for a 300 blk out that I won’t use much since ammonia more expensive .. but those are nice.. I would only spend 2000 on a 556 :p
Nice man! It looks like we’re searching for the same kindof build. I want a super shorty as well. I already have a standard carbine and 10.5 in pistol and wanted something that was heavy and hard close but super stashable without a folding adapter. Although the folding adapter is an option for you as well. Thanks for the all the way in and full length measurement. I think I’m going with the 5 and and micro buffer tube. It sucks when you see the shorts and/or people don’t say or show how they function or where they get the parts. I don’t think I want to go below 5 (with a flash can) and the micro tube would be what gets it down a bit. Very cool video and I nice score. I was definitely looking at the 7.5 but I think 5 -5.5 is the sweet spot. Military Arms channel shows his Sig MPX 300 blackout tumbles at upon impact at 5.5 similar to 556 so I was sold there.
There was a few sites I seen that have 4.5 inch - 5.5 inch barrels … my phone broke so don’t have the sites at the moment, but they had some good reviews..
Shoot you think that’s big and I thought my 10.5 300 blackout with the same lower was tiny. I love it though. Got a BCA side charging upper and it is sweet.
@@Mr_P_Rockzz Why 556? The 300BLK was developed to be used in ultra short barrels, the 556 not so much, that tiny bullet loses too much velocity in a short barrel to have much terminal ballistics left. And if you think a 300BLK is loud out of a short barrel wait until you shoot that 7" 556 😀.
@@spearfish5044 yes I knew that, But I just wanted one in 556 just for fun since the ammo is cheaper. I want a small pistol in all the calibers:p revived my 556 upper the other day, now looking at a 7.62 pistol
From this picture, it does look like a 10.5, but it has to be a 16 inch barrel because I got it from a pawnshop through a regular FFL but I have never measured it myself.. I think it’s just the angle that makes it look shorter. The grip says MOE and you could pick it up from pretty much any website just Google it
@@Getridofjeter no problem! You could build something like this for $400 though .. I just bought a more expensive lower … you can get a lower for like $130 and also a cheaper upper for like $160
All you need to do is get a folding brace attachment so you can fold your brace over your receiver and it will easily fit into a backpack. There’s your solution
I do have a folding adapter tho.. two problems with this brace.. if you put the folding adapter on then you will not be able to use any of the brace positions except the most extended because the adapter is to wide.. also you can’t fold this adapter properly because again it is to wide.
you just got it out the box you shouldve cleaned it before putting it together. Now that youre buying firearms you really need to learn more about them
@@Mr_P_Rockzz Well the fact that you had to ask that question says a lot. I dont care if you had a god damn f-16. You need to learn firearm basics because your video shows that you dont know shit. You mated that new upper and lower without cleaning and lubricating then wondered why you are hearing atrocious sounds. Cmon. This is shit I learned before I was 10 years old.

@@Jugg215 you are so strange lol the point of this video was to show the first time putting the parts together.. to show if it was a perfect fit without any kind of work needed since it it is a lower priced ar .

I have 7.5 inch AR pistol and it’s roughly 24 inches long. Will this drastically decrease my length?
@@dawaynejohnson9005 it will help but it’s not much shorter than a regular brace or stock
Nice video and pistol.
Your issue with fitting in backpack is that you need a folder like law tactical or sylvan folding gen 3.

Nice pistol. Try a folding stock adapter
Only way you’ll get a folder on it is if you keep it fully extended all the time because the brace bars will run into the folder hinge.
Throw a law tactical folding stock adapter on that and it'll fit in a back pack nicely. No need for a new upper.
I’m just bought a short 5.56 that’s I’m about to get one for :p
The strike industries PDW brace is shorter and go with SI cookie cutter brake
Is that a 10.5 hanging on the wall? And where did you get the foregrip on that same one?
