I started this build for the New Year, planned a pistol and then to file for an SBR.

Aero Precision Complete Barreled Upper, 5.56 / 10.5", threaded, FDE
Aero Precision Stripped Enhanced Lower, FDE
Maxim Defense CQB Pistol Gen 6 PDW Brace for AR15 - FDE
Toolcraft Premium BCG, 5.56, Nickel Boron
BCM Gunfighter charging handle, medium latch
BCM Mod 3 pistol grip, FDE
BCM PNT trigger group
BCM LPK

Not sure I like the BCM Mod 3 grip, it's very wide and not a good fit in my hand.
Maybe I'll replace it with an Ergo, perhaps in bl;ack to even out my color contrast scheme.

Took the optic of another AR so I can test fire this weekend.
Going to mount a Vortex Spitfire 1X AR Prism Scope.

Plan on replacing the A2 birdcage with a Noveske KX3 Flaming Pig.

Once SBR'd I'll replace the Brace rear end with Maxim's regular Stock rear end.

I was buying FDE Ergo grips from Numrich arms, they were about the cheapest I found.

That is a damned great price!
Wish they had them in black, maybe they do but I don't see them

CDNN Has them from time to time.

I bought a half dozen at $10 ea last time I saw them

I think you're wise to SBR it. I'm constantly seeing YT videos about pistol brace laws changing.

I'm betting that they redefine braces as stocks.
Lets be honest, most people use them as a work around.

Oh, I agree with you. I SBR'ed both my Noveske's 12 years ago, before the brace was a thing

 

[MuleSkinner88]

Look at how long that the brace has been allowed. Now all the sudden panic to reclassify, bullhocky.

Until the courts are done with all the challenges, I'm not gonna worry to much. A pistol sold as a pistol. Transfered as a pistol from the manufacturer with a document from BATFE stating they're classifying as a pistol. It starts to make them awfully stupid.

 

[ChileRelleno]

The ATF has a bunch of burrs under it's saddle, namely Binary and other rapid fire triggers, 80% or Homemade firearms and Pistol Braces.
If you think that the ATF and powers that be give one damn about looking stupid I've two words for you, Bump Stocks.

Thankfully the courts as of late have handed the ATF their arse in a few such cases.

sorry gents i didn't mean to stir up the pot with atf politics. very nice looking pistol indeed.

You're good... FJB and the ATF!

I bought 6 of these when they had them on sale for 5.99 each, they are a pretty good copy. they even include the Allen wrench.

It all gets so tiresome to continually fight over firearms that have been in the pipeline for many years. But I do not dwell on it, but I do not forget either. Death by a thousand cuts and all that.

The main tactic is to use the court system with biased courts to achieve even the smallest victory. Its all about money, for attorney's, and if the court is truly troubled over the definition of what constitutes the latest test, pistols of many designs, then the court should sanction the alphabet agency that brings another interpretation that has been the code for years.

I will stay vigilant as firearms are my 2nd favorite hobby and American God given Right to possess and use them. And the federal government doesn't mind being stupid as the federal system right now is so full of stupid that they personally make millions being stupid and are proud of it. That if for no other reason is enough not to just forget or "hope" that the Constitution is applied in the definition of the overall amendment.

And as for States Rights, that shall be the way to administer local law, however some States now have overreached their authority and the SCOTUS has kicked it back to the States to continue to delay the legal presidence.

Truly ridiculous to take ten years to reach a determination that has already been determined.

If I have to shorten my AR15 that short, I will get me a proper pistol. My commando 11.5 in barrel is short enough.

 

[ChileRelleno]

The Maxim Defense CQB/PDW brace is gone after weighing the likes/dislikes about it.

I'm going to reverse my course and SBR immediately.

And I'm going to try B5 Systems Coyote Brown and Magpul Coyote Tan on Aero's FDE.

B5 stock, grip and rail covers, Magpul mags and I may even get the LPK and ejector port cover Cerakoted in Coyote Brown.

Just efiled the form1, now the wait begins.

 

[Wolfsburg]

How annoying is it to do a Form 1? I’ve never done it but I have thought about going the sbr route on occasion. The only other thing would be finding someone (preferably local) to do the engraving work.

EFiling a Form 1 is very easy.
It's basically self explanatory and fairly user friendly.
Lots of drop boxes to select your choices from.
If you have any problems or questions you can have a tutorial open in another tab.

Use a passport photo app to take your photo, and have it ready to upload from your PC.
Have all pertinent info ready, e.g. serial#, model and etc.

I'm lucky enough to have a local guy who offers excellent laser engraving.
Be careful about using jewelers who offer engraving.
it must be a certain minimum depth and size, and jewelers often can't meet the minimum depth.

 

[Wolfsburg]

Ah, very interesting! Thanks! I may have to look into that then. I’ve heard Form 1 wait times are not very long, at least in comparison to Form 4s! Hopefully you’ll have a short turnaround!
