Robocop1051 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 So recently (with a positive climate change at my department) I started working towards a pistol build. This will likely be my new "throw in a bag and carry around town" gun. I couldn't go with off-the-shelf or even mainstream. I always have to be a little off. Originally I was thinking about a 7.5" wrapped with a VLTOR CASV-M and a KX3 on the end... then I decided I wwanted to go crazy and build a shorty 7.62x39. As some of you may know, I hate cleaning my guns. Building a 7.62x39 was the perfect excuse to build another piston system. At first I just tried to get a PWS Diablo, but it looks like PWS has dried up anything relating to that caliber. I couldn't even build it from their parts. My second option was either an AA piston or an Osprey piston. Osprey doesn't have quite the history or fan base backing, and it's crazy expensive. So it looks like another AA kit is in my future. I really would like to find a NiB coated bolt while I'm going this "clean" route. Finding a barrel is getting to be a PITA too. Lots of barrels available, but they are all HBARs. I'm still holding out for a Med to LW contour, 1:10 twist with pistol length gas and 5/8x24 threads. Preferably melonite treated, but would settle for chrome lined. Since I'm pretty stuck with the AA piston option, my most favorable option is the Samson Evolution 7" extended handguard. I like how the sides come around the gas block. I'm kind of stuck on muzzle devices right now. I thought about a KX3. I also like the PWS CQB. My more unique option would be an AAC muzzle brake with a "brake shield" installed around it.

Robocop1051 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm so fickle with my plans. I think I'm going to rebuild my 300Blk with a short barrel and the VLTOR, and then do a slightly longer version (11"-12") in 7.62x39 for plinking. I should be ordering parts by the end of this month.

98Z5V Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 You know, Rob... When most of us start a topic with a title like "Rob's pistola," or "Drew's long-slide .45"... It's usually a finished product that we've somehow kept secret, and we're revealing it. REVEALING IT. <lmao> By the time we post a topic like this, it's not just a pipedream, or a wishlist. I'm just sayin'... <laughs> :banana: Wait 'til Greg sees this one... :yup: :stfu2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.308LiteHunter Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 What barrel did you end up getting? Thought I found a NIB Bcg for you at Red X, but nope out of stock. Really interested to see how this build turns out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I bought THIS barrel I'm talking to a local manufacturer about making a NiB coated bolt. They are new and right in my backyard. They claim to have an enhanced bolt, similar to the super rare and high sought after LMT bolts.

Robocop1051 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I have no idea who made the barrel, but it was the only one I could find that had all the options I wanted; Contour, twist, and nitride treatment. I already have a melonite carrier, but I have to get it modified for this build. I'm shipping it out soon for some custom milling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
