Just curious. I have a 10.5" pistol. Fun, but if one was looking for something that felt like an SBR (as in significantly smaller), it's not a huge difference. But what's nice is once you've got the lower squared away, you can always swap out and try other uppers. My current favorite AR is my 8.5" blackout pistol.I've always heard good things about Geissele actually. I think my bro might have one in his AR and he likes it. But I have no experience with them (I might've shot his AR once with it in, can't remember).
Yeah, there is the State lines advantage to the pistol route. I'm not too worried about that though. It would be a rare case for me to do that; the only reason being that I'd be taking it to an out-of-state training class which case I'd maybe just take the 300 BLK pistol if it was going to be a problem with the SBR.
No particular reason for the upper I was looking at. I think around a 10.5" - 11" would be ideal for me. I think I heard John Lovell of Warrior Poet Society said something like that, or he enjoys that length, and I figure the guy knows a thing or two about shooting. Plus at 10.5" - 11" range you don't lose a ton of the potential speed/power of the 223/556 round. You can definitely shoot out to hundreds of yards at that barrel length and make hits.
Nice, thanks for the info.Just curious. I have a 10.5" pistol. Fun, but if one was looking for something that felt like an SBR (as in significantly smaller), it's not a huge difference.

Looking at the quotes on the first page, I'd say it was "kazaam."What was the OPs user name before he changed it?
Shorty's amatuer and unnofficial range reports.
Two vids cuz I had some upload and download issues. Next time around I use a stabilized camera.
What about it with the pistol brace do you not like? My AR pistols, nothing really jumps out at me as a deal-breaker.I got a pistol brace and put it on (sorta) and it moderately helped me shoot the Bren 2 MS. But I think I need to get an SBR stamp and put on a real stock.
OR, wait for the rifle to arrive this summer and buy that instead. As it is, this sucker is no good for home defense, sport shooting, or a minuteman course.
It doesnt handle like a proper stock. Doesnt help control recoil at all. Wiggles a lot thanks to the imperfect design of the gun itself. Makes rattling noise too. Mostly I dont like how it handles recoil. Need something better. LIke a rifle.What about it with the pistol brace do you not like? My AR pistols, nothing really jumps out at me as a deal-breaker.

No.What are you shooting out of it? I've a couple of versions of a pistol brace on some ARs and with those (or normal stocks) I don't notice any recoil.. You have a spring and buffer tube?
Nothing new for most of us, but some good info for new gun owners by our friend Hickok45 (and John) on YouTube.
No.
Its a Bren 2.
Did I forget to say that?
Maybe you just don't like the Bren 2? Like with the BRN-180S, I don't think the recoil would be any different between using the pistol brace or a rifle stock. Comparing my AR rifle to one of the AR pistols, again, I don't notice much of a difference. Your gun though, you do you.It doesnt handle like a proper stock. Doesnt help control recoil at all.

That a stock might not fix your problem with the recoil.What do you mean maybe you just dont like the Bren 2?
I just made 5 posts saying I didnt like the Bren 2.
Good vid. Unfortunately, those that really need to watch it probably won't bother.
The level of gun safety in the general public is scary. I usually leave the range if someone else shows up.
Agreed on all points. Muzzle sweeps and eager index fingers are why I only shoot in unoccupied privately owned quarries now. I simply cannot relax and enjoy myself if I'm around strangers who are shooting, I spend too much time keeping a cautious eye on them.
