This thread must be kept alive. There's really a lot of interest in AR PDW's now, with all the new offerings from Maxim Defense, Daniel Defense, Springfield Armory, and others. Unfortunately, the thread below has been archived but one can still read it and see the builds, past and new.

Clint... do you want to open it to pistol caliber PDWs like the Flux Defense brace or keep it strictly AR as mentioned?

I built a proof of concept (the least expensive PDW style AR using readily available components)... a 7.5" PSA upper and LAW folding adapter with pistol buffer tube, no brace or blade....about 2" at 50yd... don't remember trying at 100yd... length of pull was nose to charging handle... I opted for a 10.5" for my truck gun

Good looking pics. Vacillating between Tailhook Mod2 and a skeletonized blade from Team15Tactical on my next build.

I just sold a new Law Tactical folder, PWS buffer tube, and Tailhook Mod 1 a few days ago and I'm already having seller's remorse.
That was a great combo. |

7.5" Hanson barrel with a SLR adjustable gas block and and a
Strike Industries Viper PDW brace. Lots of fun! |

Do you have a build list or anything you could link me to? I really like that setup and didn't realize .300BLK had piston options. That stock makes me want an SBR'd .300 and I've never really been an SBR fan lol EDIT: also, how do those CZ sights hold up on an AR? I've thought about picking up those to do the same, wasn't sure if it would work but it appears it will ?? View Quote PWS has 300blk piston guns/uppers, btw. The CZ sights are nice and beefy, they would hold up on anything. They are way low for a regular AR, but work great with the 1/2" higher rail on this gun. |

Is Veritas Tactical still in business? I've tried to contact them three times, without success.
Am looking for a 5" 300BO barrel that doesn't cost $400. |

it's funny to see people meet RDTCU for the first time in these forums. The excitement in their voice, followed by the deflating realization that he crafts these projects himself and they are literally one-of-a-kind and will never be obtainable.

Alrighty- I am staring a budget/poor man's AR PDW build in 5.56...gatherin parts that I have and seeing what else I need.
I'm looking at the KAK 4.75" barrel...and will use a KAK flash can. I need recommendations on a handguard/rail- the one I have is for a 7" barrel so I think I need a couple inches shorter than that for the 4.75" barrel and flash- and want it to barely stick out from the HG. |

Heck, for less money than the sbpdw, someone could get a chopped down SBA3 brace with a shorter pdw tube in the form of a CMMG Ripbrace, which offers the benefits of the SBA3, but the shorter length closer to the maxim, for a lower price than the SBPDW. |

Quoted: Wow. Nice pdw. I find it interesting that you spared no expense on components except on the actually pdw part of it, opting for the SBT instead of the Maxim brace. The SBT version isn't any shorter collapsed than an SBA3, etc, so it's a more expensive, heavier, and less comfortable brace (ie. cheekweld) that doesn't really offer anything an SBA3 doesn't.

I may order one of those, after the sheep quit panicking. |

Quoted: i got the SBPDW instead of the SBA3 because i liked the look and had a couple SBA3s already. from what i recall, the Maxim brace has proprietary bcg/spring/buffer and i wanted to stick with as many standard components as possible. at the end of the day, i didn't really put a ton of thought into the purchase; the SBPDW looked cool, i think i got a deal on it somewhere, and i like the heft offsetting the weight of my bigass Saker 762 up front. i do love the look of the chopped down SBA3, and i think that'll be the next pistol build i'll go for. View Quote Only the really short Maxim braces utilize a proprietary bcg, buffer, and spring. My Maxim SCW brace requires it but the longer versions do not. |
