Making some changes wifey is taking over the BCM 11.5 pistol(likely to become SBR because AFT)

That means I get to build something new.
SOLGW 13.7 upper with pin/weld NOX Keymo mount to bring barrel length to 16.2
SOLGW Angry Patriot lower with Geissele internals and trigger. Vltor a5 buffer system, bcm grip and kag
Optic will be the MRO from my BCM prob will add 3x magnifier. Will put a Holosun Aems green dot on the bcm for wife because astigmatism.
Will prob change the stock later as this is just one I had lying around.

Looks fun!
You got a tax stamp and a can pending?
I don't see a gas tube there, what caliber is this?
Who did the barrel work for you in mounting the FSB?

- No SBR stamp yet, gonna run it as a pistol while waiting for the funds for that. AEM5 can is at 96 days on eform (almost there!)
- 223/556, gas tube is sitting on the shelf. Just waiting for another pin to get here, lost the one that I had....like a jackass
- This one is an off the shelf CCC barrel assembly with a Daniel Defense barrel/FSP. I have another 12.5 DD barrel that I had ADCO profile and make a custom collar for, but the Charlie's assembly came in stock right after sending out the one to ADCO, so I'm just gonna hang on to both until my can gets out of jail and I can confirm fitment. Will probably let the ADCO/DD barrel go if the Charlies one's gets me 8 or so turns with the can.

Charlies has a very hit or mis rep with alot of people, but so far I've been happy with their service. It's where I got my AEM5 as well.

As you know the CA crowd is drooling over suppressed SBR porn because we can't do anything close to that legally.

This is the closest I can get to something fun

Colt Model 629 /XM177E2 clone in 22LR with vintage CM marked upper and FSB

What are your plans for the rest of the rifle?
Is that FSB F marked?
You going full retro?

Ps. I bought a bag of 100.gas tube pins cause those things love to disappear

I've got a cali compliant that looks far more fun than that and hits at 400 yards pretty accurately. :gossip:

I have a C7 upper it'll get plugged into. Then that'll get mated with a PSA M16A2 lower in an effort to keep it somewhat period correct. Going to slap a Aimpoint PRO on it once I can source an ARMS #2 mount. I do have non-F marked FSP's on this one, the ADCO one has an F marked one.

It'll probably spend most of its life suppressed so I got a PRI Gasbuster to hopefully help bleed that excess junk off. Curious how it'll run suppressed, most of the ones I've seen tend to run fairly smooth without much tinkering.

Other than that, it'll be pretty simple. Geissele LPK w/ambi safety and maritime bolt catch (cause why not), old worn in LMT mil spec trigger, streamlight protac attached at the 10 o clock with a little polymer pic section, and a repro CAR-15 stock once that stamp goes through, that's about it. Debating on painting it once it's done, mostly to help with the damn desert sun turning all black guns into branding irons

One pistol and one spicy pistol. Stock is getting taken off to make it not spicy. Gun laws are silly.
