Simply put, the shorter barrel makes the weapon more maneuverable in close quarters. Same with a sawed-off shotty. As far as the 200 dollar tax stamp? Registration. And also knowledge of what they may face if they decide to come for you...

It's a pistol! Barrel can be as short as I want it. No tax stamp needed. There is no stock on that pistol.

This video is nearly 10 years old! This was the first time I saw a rifle caliber pistol. Now I’ve got a bunch of em.

All AR15 stripped lowers are marked as "other" when you fill out the paperwork. Not pistol or rifle, the info you are giving isn't correct.

i have a slight correction to your explanations. when buying a stripped lower, you do not have to have it listed as a pistol or rifle, they list it under "other". the ATF has determined that the stripped lower can not be considered a pistol or rifle until it is assembled into it's final configuration.

These little bitches at the range now had to tell the ATF about his AK pistol

That cleared up a lot of questions I had without a lot of reading. As always, really appreciate it Sootch.

5:33 - "...it can take away your right to own a firearm permanently." Sootch, I get where you're coming from, but NOTHING can take away my right to own a firearm. I'm a human being and I have an unalienable right to self defense, no matter what arbitrary rules a government may choose to impose. Saying things like "you're not allowed to..." and "you can't have..." is only validating their control over you. You tell us to "be of good courage" at the end of every video. Maybe you should heed your own words. "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." -Thomas Jefferson

@doug phil Are you some kind of wizard?

i just finished my first build a 10.5 pistol your videos was a great help sootch thanks

Here in PA, purchasing the lower as a pistol isn't necessary. I thought the same, but my FFL cleared it up. In PA, they got essentially sick of the hassle. As long as the gun is legally a pistol, all is well.

Nice video! I know it's a few years old, but I thought I'd toss in that angled foregrips are legal on AR pistols, and you can run a full foregrip as long as the total overall length (without flash hider), is over 26" from the back of the buffer tube to the tip of the barrel. It changes the designation from 'pistol' to 'firearm'.

2A! There should be no rules regarding the use of my firearms.

Good review Sootch. You’re the man!

Great vid! Thanks!

Love your videos sootch, keep them coming brother!

Do you still feel the same about Ar15 pistols now years later? An update video would be super cool!

good insight and introduction to ar-15 pistols, it had all the information i was looking for!

Thank you . That clears the air and confusion. I was looking into a mini Draco . But now I see what an advantage having a AR-15 pistol as over it. (Buffer tube).

Very helpful, especially info about buying the lower as a "pistol" with proper forms, and excluding the vertical foregrip. It would be easy to make a mistake without that information. Another excellent video, Thanks Sootch!

Another great video with great info. Thanks Sootch

I have come to believe there are some advantages for a .300 AAC Blackout in an AR Pistol if you have conceal carry, as a car gun in particular. The caliber gives you ammunition options, and tremendous firepower in a small package. I did not realize it was the same lower, that it was simply how your register it with a new FFL purchase. Sootch offers good advice, keep the receipt of purchase as a pistol and never put anything but a pistol barrel or pistol compliant components on it.

Thanks for the video, I think it's important for gun owners to know this stuff, even if they don't plan on building or buying one.

Thank you ,I appreciate your answer.

I've been toying with the idea setting up an AR or AK pistol with a laser for HD. 5.45 is 'supposed' to perform better out of SBR's than 5.56/.223.

Thank you for explaining things for me.

Very informative review sootch, love the gun too :D

Dang it Sootch I'm sold I'm going to build my first real soon you just motivated me because I was battling with making for months now. God bless brother

More great information, Thanks Sootch!

I agree with your statement about the rifle being the most efficient, now though... that things can get dicey the issue is swinging that full rifle with 18" barrel out in an automotive attack situation. I think the pistol alternative with the "hand brace stock" is a wise solution for those of us living in densely populated metro areas when TSHTF.

Another great vid brother, thanks, keep em coming

Thanks for another fine video. I am trying to make up my mind about building a AR pistol or rifle in 300 blackout this video made me want to build a pistol and a rifle.

Very neat ik old vid but I highly recommend running a rail that covers the gas system to help protect it

That is a very very nice AR pistol configuration. I like it

To my understanding, adding a Magpul AFG is acceptable by the ATF to a AR15 pistol.

really liked your video, helped me make some decisions.

Thanks for the info. All of your videos are great.

I have got to get me one of these. Good job on the Sootch, lovin' the ATI accessories. What kind of realistic range do you think the pistol configuration would be capable of?

AND NOW WE HAVE THE SIG-TAC ARM BRACE!!!!!!!

Very informative. Thanks Sootch!

I love your reviews.

Great video Sootch. I've been doing a little research online. An I have decided to build an AR pistol. Thanks for the info on '10.5 inch barrel. I was going to go '8.5. I'm glad you said that in the video. An as far as the paracord goes. When I applie my paracord to the buffer tube. Do I put the apoxy on the buffer tude then wrap it???

Great review as usual. Still undecided but thinking I want to build a 300BLK AR pistol for target & home defense use with subsonic ammo.

Sootch....great video....as usual. One request if possible....and maybe I missed it on the build videos. But sure would like to see a parts list for this build. Thanks again!!

Also, you can register your weapon as an aow, its a $5 form, and put a vertical foregrip on it. Or, you can use the magpul afg, which has been found to be legal without paperwork, due to not being a vertical grip.

Great vid. About how much does building your own cost when compared to buying one ready made? Love what you do here, keep up the good work.

February 2023 ATF published rules disallowing anything on the end of the pistol buffer, even a stopper.

According to multiple forums amd emails to the ATF Magpul's AFG is not considered to be a vertical grip and CAN be used on pistols.

A lower listed on the 4473 form as a "other" can be made into a pistol or rifle.

Thanks for the great information.

Thanks for sharing. My next build will be a pistol.

According to the ATF, you can legally add an 'angled for-grip' (like the magpul AFG) to a pistol. Only 'vertical' for-grips are disallowed by law.

badass! love that ati handguard

Thanks for the comprehensive coverage of the legal issues. They're NOT something people want to be confused about.

your older vids are so funny, in a good way.

I really want more of these in games as side arms

Great video sootch00!

I've heard good things about the Battlecomp. Would love to see you review it.

Interested in your thoughts on the Sig SB15 brace? Thanks for the awesome videos!

Thats a good point about not putting the mbuis on the gas block. My magpul front sight got a little melted befor I figured that out.

i so like your gun videos, thank you thank you thank you.

sootch00, as I said in the upper build video, thank you for videotaping the process. One concern I have is that exposed gas tube. If that gun is going in and out of a vehicle I'm concerned that the tube may get crimped by accident. Just my $.02. Thanks for the vids bro.

Great vid brother....learning a lot!

The Magpul Angle Front Grip is not a vertical grip, per the Technology Dept. at the ATF. Therefore you could put an AFG on the bottom rail for more control and comfort.

7.5" DI can be reliable. But it is a good idea to buy a known good build or have seller demonstrate reliability. I got a 7.5" build dirt cheap. It was sold by second owner because it would stove pipe just about every time you pulled the trigger. And when it rarely did eject the brass went straight forward. The original owner put a flash can on it and the back pressure from what was essentially a muffler caused severe over gas condition. Ran great with out flash can but was still what I would consider slightly over gassed. I now custom load 55gr sp with reduced charge and faster powder and now the thing cycles like a M16 rifle with the flash can. And absolutely no flash at night! As others have mentioned you can put a forward vertical grip on a pistol if it measures > 26 inches overall (with any threaded muzzle device removed).

What buffer did you use for this Sootch? Can you address the differences in the heavy buffers and their advantages/disadvantages? Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Sootch I loved this series. More full builds would be awesome. One question: now that you have been shooting the gun do you feel the $200 for a tax stamp might be worth the extra comfort and stability.

I've been told that the Rear buffer tube cant be from a AR15 with the slot/slid for a adjustable but stock. Wrapping it with twine is not a legal work around, there is a specific buffer tube you must purchase. Also the 45 degree front grip is still legal with out any special paperwork on the AR pistol.

For anyone wondering, The AFG can be used on a pistol. The ATF does not consider it a forward grip.

Great video. Re: END CAP. Size. Type. What exactly is it? Home Depot pipe cap? The Paracord idea is exactly what I was looking for.

Hey sootch he love your videos, I used your ar 15 build vid when I built my very first build. I have a question. What are your thought on a 300 blackout pistol build for home defense?? Any suggestions or thoughts? Thanks

Hey Sootch, from what I have read at the ATF site you CAN put a Rifle upper and stock on your AR pistol but you CAN'T put your pistol upper on a rifle lower. That would be an SBR. To find the info on the ATF site click on rulings under the tab Laws, Regulations & Rulings and find ruling 2011-4

Nice vid Sootch... big fan of AR Pistols :) FWIW, the BATFE has given the thumbs-up to Magpul AFG's on these fun guns.

Awesome Video! Very informative. Keep up the good work.

the 4473 can list the lower as "Other", and the lower DOES NOT have to be marked 'pistol'. You can even have a buffer tube that will fit a stock; you just cannot put a stock on the pistol. I have letters from the BATF specifically stating this.

Gotta love the Bureau of Arbitrary Technical Findings and Edicts.

Always informative

Mag well grips are legal am I right? And what are the legalities or building a AR pistol from a 80% lower. Nice video very informative

how did you get that paracord on the buffer tube. I really like how that looks and would love to replicate it.

For a 5.56 pistol, I prefer the PLR-16. I feel that if I want my cheak on something, I should use one of my rifles. The PLR-16 is also much lighter and though it uses the same action as the SU-16, it was designed as a pistol. That helps function.

The range clip where the guy is shooting the AK pistol looks awfully familiar. Might that be the range in Pickens, SC ?

Nice job sootch !!!

Nice setup!!

I had the issue of purchasing the stripped lower receiver as a "PISTOL" but the FFL I use stated to me its listed as "OTHER," because it is a receiver not a rifle nor a handgun. So I asked an ATF agent and after his research responded back with the receiver is purchased as OTHER. The definition comes when the lower and the upper are mated, its then a pistol or a rifle. Thats what I was told by a live ATF Agent. Form 4473 States Handgun, Rifle or Other.

hey sooch, just wondering how you like that ATI forend so far. Im really looking at buying one but my only concern is the stability of those set screws as far as keeping it from turning. have you had any issues with this?

Very impressive review. Thanking you for providing this info. I never seen a review about derringers. I have a 9mm derringer. I know they would be close range, I was thinking car pistro? Any thoughts. Have a good day

My 7.5" pistol in .300BLK is reliable 100% so far. That didn't change with the suppressor added.

I would like a little more info on the range effectiveness of the shorter barrel along with an opinion on how much louder it is over a 16" rifle.

I'm 6ft tall and I use the buffer tube up against my shoulder I like the compact tight feeling I get.

Great informative video. Funny take outs..

Great video and information.

I hope Kel-Tec will offer the PLR-16 in 300BLK in the future (as is currently available for the SU-16C and SU-16CA). 25% more energy out of a 9" barrel than 5.56mm. Plus with a detachable silencer and subsonic ammunition it's a very practical option for certain roles. Quieter and more effective than a suppressed pistol caliber carbine. Of course the best thing is the SBR SU-16D, a PLR-16 with the SU-16C's folding stock, but it has to be registered as an SBR and subject to all those restrictions.

on the new ATF 4473 form, the stripped lower is now classified as "other" (question 18)

And forward grips are fine as long as they are not "vertical". The Magpul AFG is ATF approved for AR-pistols.

As an FFL dealer I beg you to please take this stupid video down, or correct your false information about stripped lowers needing to be transferred as Pistol. All lowers are transferred as Other, always. I am sick of people watching this video and get false information.

I heard somewhere that if the pistol is a certain length then u can put a vertical fore grip on it and it would still be legal, but I personally don't have a use for that or a need. I also wouldn't wanna have to worry about being questioned about it all the time.

Good stuff as usual

Muzzle brakes or flash hiders are horrible on ar pistols as they blast the guy next to you and this setup is ridiculously loud, my advice is a flash forwarder as it does as advertised and doesnt beat up your friends at the range

Stripped Lower Receivers are marked as "Other" on the 4473. You can also take a pistol and make it into a rifle and back to a pistol as often as you want, as long as the lower started life as a pistol. If it started life as a rifle, it must stay a rifle, so yes, if you put your pistol upper on your rifle lower, it's a violation.
