Ar-15 Pistol

Post by zombiehunter »

I am currently in the process of getting material to build a AR pistol, and i was wondering if there was any way to eliminate the buffer tube? I understand it's function but i have seen other AR builds without it and think is look much better, Any ideas?

If it's piston driven I believe you can. But I have no idea how you would go about doing that. Did you consider that fact the buffer can be used against your cheek to brace the rifle when shooting.

EDIT:
I found you a link http://www.paraord.com/new/product_rifle.php#specs

This is Para's rifle without a buffer tube and it's still DI, but it is what they call Delayed Impingement Gas System™ (DIGS™). They say "The recoil spring is over the op-rod so there is no “twang” in your ear as your head rests on the rifle’s stock while the bolt cycles between shots. " I'm not really an AR guy so I have no clue what this means or if you can build a pistol of it. Maybe you do.

ANOTHER EDIT:
Watch the video, this rifle looks awesome, very little muzzle flip. It also shows break down.
