Quote HistoryQuoted: I have the urge.to put that on a 5.5" 5.56 barrel lol. I'm planning to swap it on my LaFrance clone when I get that done - rotate between the proper duckbill (repro) as it's a 601-type build, the AR180S cone, and the KAK... |

I finally found someone to sell me a round handguard.
  It arrives Tuesday. |

I bought the 4” version; looks just like your pic. Now I’m trying to decide on a muzzle device. Needs about an inch and a half to extend beyond the guard. |

You could try Evike though. They sell real parts. Might have to click something saying its for airsoft only if you are a CA resident. |

I got my Blaster D ring from Evike.  It is a new California law that went into effect July 1st 2022 restricting online AR component purchases. Apparently some companies are selling anyway, so I won't say who is doing this. I'm just glad they're doing it.  I'm buying a stripped Aero Precision lower and parts kit from our local gun store today to do another build while I still can. |

The handguard arrived three days early.
Elapsed time from ordering to receiving the product: Less than 3 days. This is super good service.   I noticed no one else did this, so I thought I'd give it a try just to see how it works. I like it. The big round guard makes the gun really comfortable to hold and to easy to present. And the knurling offers a nice grippy surface. |

I like the way it looks with the shorty hand guard. Curious how hot it gets shooting it with the standard style compensator installed?
Given any thought to using a linear comp instead, that blows hot gasses forward instead of inside the hand guard? Or is this an eventual host for a suppressor? |

Given any thought to using a linear comp instead, that blows hot gasses forward instead of inside the hand guard? Or is this an eventual host for a suppressor? While it shoots fine and the handguard offers a firm comfortable grip, the inside of the guard does get dirty so I'm going to turn the guard down on a lathe to shorten it to end behind the ports. Supressors aren't legal in California.  I just got a bolt action AR upper today, and got the same round design longer handguard for it.  I still have to figure out how to get the barrel nut off first. It's on super tight. |

You might not be able to get a suppressor in Cali, but a Flaming Pig is essentially a legal one-baffle suppressor.

Facts are facts.. And again it has nothing to do with fearing the government. I suggest that you read the actual NFA laws concerning short barreled rifles. Even just test fitting as you say you did is breaking the National Firearms Act of 1934 which is a law passed by Congress. |

When this post started back in May I decided I definitely wanted to build one of these so I started collecting parts as I stumbled onto them. Other projects took over and I thought I hadn’t gotten all the needed parts.
Earlier tonight I went looking for some magazines I knew I bought a while back and while looking I decided to clean up my parts pile and group everything for the ongoing projects together. That’s when I realized I had all the parts to finally build a Baby AR Blaster. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. I even found an old red dot to put on it temporarily to take it to the range to check for accuracy and functionality. Here it is pictured with my other dedicated .22LR pistol:  Attached FileEventually going to swap out the dinosaur sight for a better sight. |

Nice neat sharp looking guns. Are pistol braces still going to be legal. I heard a rumor that they were going to be "no bueno" in December, but I have no idea whether it's true or not. The logic of the practical real world difference between a brace and a stock still eludes me. If I understood, that would mean I was a liberal bureaucrat, so I'd rather not know.

ATF has a proposed brace rule where braces are still legal depending on the configuration of the pistol & they reserve the right for you to jump through all the hoops & still declare your gun an illegal SBR. It'll immediately go to court & w/o Chevron & w/ NYSRPA, w/ any luck we'll get an injunction and snarl it til they back down. |
