POTD: A Last Chance AR-15 Pistol
JC decided it was now or never to build the AR pistol of his dreams. He wrote …
I have twins due in September, so this was my last chance to build a gun to my specs. Here is the build sheet:
Spikes Tactical upper
Odin Works 300BLK 10.5 barrel (-local, Boise company)
Odin Works 9.5 KMod handguard
Rock River Arms chrome lined BCG (solved FTE issues)
JP Enterprises muzzle brake (- thing is beefy)
Odin Works milled Alum KMod hand stop(friggin work of art)
Odin Works low pro adjustable gas block
Vortex Viper PST 1-4x MRAD
Burris one piece mount
MGM throw lever( – local company)
BCM gunfighter Charging handle
Spikes Tactical lower
Odin works extended mag release (XMR- highly recommend)
Seekins Precision trigger guard (solved problem of rough edges where lower reciever-pistol grip-trigger guard met up, which was causing chaffing issues on middle finger knuckle)
Seekins Precision ambi 60 deg throw Safety selector(must have)
Hiperfire trigger 4.5lbs (great budget trig)
VTAC 2 point sling
Magpul K pistol grip (steeper grip angle for comfort)
Odin Works buffer tube with adjustment collar
Sig Sauer pistol brace
JC, It looks great. And best of luck for September. Get some sleep while you still can!
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

one question, your scope is a viper PST MRAD. Does it have the same adjustment as the MOA version. Is it as good as the MOA version?
I have plans for a AR15 project but I'm waiting as a system that is potentially both UK legal as well as US Ban states (ala CT, NY and CA) is being made and allows something akin to semi auto option but with all the features (the main interest for me is the near semi auto option, something I can't have in the UK). So please either talk me into the MRAD or into the MOA version please?
Congratulations on the twins! My wife and I brought home our twin baby girls on Christmas day. You shouldn't look at it as "now or never", but rather, a justification to build MORE guns. I've made it my mission to slowly build 3 AR's over time so that I can hand them down to my daughters when they are old enough. While my daughters will have plenty of guns to inherit whenever I pass, I want to make sure they each have at least 1 AR that daddy built for them.
