Yeah I've been reading up on all of that.

I understand there's some drawbacks and costs.....but just from dry firing/handling the thing, I think it would be a lot more useful with a stock.

Maybe when I get it to the range I'll change my mind and keep it as a pistol.

I'm considering changing the sights too. Plastic sights are fine on a range toy, but if I decide to actually keep it as a trunk gun or something, I think I'd prefer something a little more durable.
I think that once it is mated to a rifle lower and licensed as an SBR it cannot go back to being a pistol. I may be mistaken, of course, but I remembersomething like that.

I just picked one up yesterday. For now its a bit of range toy, but I'm planning to make it an SBR, which should drastically improve its usefulness.

Here it is next to my Glock 19 for size reference.

Details: Del Ton lower, 7.5" stainless steel barrel with a 1:9 twist, YHM rail, Hogue grip, Magpul flip up sights.

Haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet, and probably won't get to until after all the Christmas stuff is over.

From just handing it, I like it a lot. I hear that the 7.5" are loud, so I'll probably look for a better brake to try and reduce its "flashbang" quality. :biggrinjester:

Feel free to share yours, ask questions, whatever. :tiphat:

I have a pistola upper that I am waiting on the pistola buffer tube to complete. It is not as short as yours. I think mine is 10".

I will let you know when it is finished.
