10.5 AR-15 pistols are the best guns ever!!!

[Diddyboy225]

I love my AR-15 pistol. I’ve been building one from just a lower reviver. I would love any tips or advice on how to make it better on a budget.

In order I’d upgrade the bcg, trigger, then barrel if you really want too. I’ve been happy with aero/ ballistic advantage barrels I have but I may consider upgrading one in the future.

Honestly I wouldn’t cheap out at all on the bcg. For the trigger if you don’t want to spend $200+ I highly recommend a Nickel coated trigger. It’s basically a mil spec trigger with a nickel coating that brings it down to around a 4lb trigger pull in the two ARs I have one in. I just ordered one for my 16” aero because the mil spec trigger is griddy and breaks at around 8lbs. I have one PSA nickel coated trigger and one from BCM. I can’t tell them apart whatsoever. It looks to be the exact same trigger with the exact same markings on it. You can also get the JP enterprise enhanced reliability reduced pull trigger springs to lighten it up even a tad more. I don’t have any yet but I’ve been reading about them and just ordered a couple sets to try out. My only concern with reduced weight trigger springs was sacrificing reliability and getting light primer strikes. From all of the reviews I’m reading it seems that’s not an issue. Only time will tell and it’s worth the $10 to give it a shot imo.

add a suppressor (plenty of good ones) and a heavier buffer and spring. You will love it even more

Definitely heavier buffer, idk how that slipped my mind. Cheap, efficient upgrade for sure

Are you running double reddots?

 

[shrxfn]

If his rifle is shooting and ejecting fine why would he add a heavier buffer? if you want to tame recoil adjustable gas block is the way to go and it also helps with shooting suppressed.

Are you running double reddots?

I noticed that also and it looks to be mounted to the handguard. Also with BUIS in case both red dots go dead....

 

[Bigchillin83]

Maybe with 2 reddots you can roll it to the side at 45deg, and see 2 dots at the same time if you can train each one of your eyes to focus on each reddot and the target beyond,

Would put a whole new meeting for cowitness’s lol

I meant after adding a suppressor unless it’s a pistol that runs smooth both ways. An adjustable gas block would definitely be better but was thinking how he said on a budget

Yea

 

[Diddyboy225]

Yea

I tried Getting in the prone position and it’s really uncomfortable to shoot with a 45 round magazine. A 45° red dot is more comfortable to shoot in the prone position and easier to maneuver around corners in CQB.

the beauty of the ar platform what doesnt work for most works for one, and able to be customer tailored to the user

Don’t knock it until you try it. Its comfortable and makes going around Conners indoors easier.
