today is the day guys i have finally finished my ar pistol build
i think it turned out awesome and we're gonna go over everything we put on this
gun all the parts we decided to use and we're gonna do that in just a minute
all right guys welcome back to the pilot patriot channel and yes we did finally finish the ar
pistol build if you've been following the channel for a while you know that we've done reviews on a
lot of the stuff that we've put onto this pistol so as we're going through this if you want some
more information on individual parts i will put links to those videos in the description below
this has been a long time in the making like a lot of you guys i kind of buy my parts a little bit at
a time and just assemble it as i go and we have finally finished it the only thing we're missing
now is the suppressor and that's just because we're waiting on old uncle sam to approve it so
i have done a video on how to build a 400 ar-15 that was the ultimate budget rifle video
this is not that video now what i tend to do is i kind of shoot for the middle of the road type
products when i'm building out something like this i don't always go for the top of the line most
expensive thing you can get because a lot of times i don't think it's worth it but i also definitely
wouldn't call this a budget build by any means so stick with me guys we're going to get in here and
take a close look at every part we put on here and why but before we do that if you haven't
done it yet make sure you hit that subscribe button down below hit that notification bell
and give us a big old thumbs up that helps us with that youtube algorithm because a video like this
is definitely not getting monetized all right guys now let's get in here and take a closer look
at this pistol first we're going to take a look at some of the main components we did go with an aero
precision receiver set this is the m4 e1 error precision upper and lower air precision is a good
reputable name brand and i think you're getting a lot of good quality as well as some really nice
aesthetics with that error precision receiver set going up here to our bulk here group again from
air precision this is their nickel boron bolt carrier group and for our charging handle we're
using the radian raptor sd that's because we do plan on suppressing this pistol in the future and
what's cool about that radian raptor sd is that it has side ports that allow that gas to escape from
the sides rather than blowing back into your face when you have a suppressed rifle or especially
a pistol with a short barrel going down to our trigger we have the franklin armory bfs3 binary
trigger so you'll notice that we do have a third position on our selector switch there that is
for binary mode and i have done a full review and test of that franklin armory trigger if you want
to check that out i'll put a link to it right here at the top of the screen you also notice here that
i do have the magpul bad lever if i can i always go with the bad lever on most of my ar-15s just
out of convenience for my barrel i went with the ballistic advantage b.a hanson 11.3 inch barrel
i think that's a good size for a pistol you get a little bit better ballistics than the short 10.5
but you still keep it at a nice manageable length and if you're not aware of ballistic advantage
they make some of the best ar-15 barrels on the market right now especially their ba hanson line
moving on to my grip i just kept it simple with a magpul moe grip let's move on up here to the front
of the pistol and don't forget guys as we're going over all this stuff i am going to have links to
everything in the description below if you want to get it for yourself so looking here at our
hand guard this is the midwest industries m-lok combat rail for those of you looking to get a size
comparison with that 11.3 inch barrel this is the 10 and a half inch hand guard and as you can see
it's going to run right up to the back of your muzzle device if you have the 11.3 inch barrel
while we're up here looking at this muzzle device like i said i am going to be suppressing this
pistol and the suppressor that i'm going with is the yankee hill machine turbo k this is the
muzzle brake that comes with the turbo k i really like the ratcheting system that comes with this
and what you saw here is the blast shield from yankee hill machine that attaches the same way
their suppressors do you just put it on give it a twist and it ratchets into place that's going
to keep some of that noise and that concussion going forward rather than back towards you or to
the sides pissing off all your friends beside you on the range looking back at the handguard i did
go with the magpul hand stop i think it comes in right at the perfect position here and this
comes in a hand stop kit so it comes with a few different accessories you can kind of arrange that
in any way you want so that's cool and it does attach to your m lock rail right here on the side
you'll notice that i have the strike industries m lock rail covers i have that on both sides just
going to give you a little more comfortable area where your hand rests on that hand guard for my
light i have the streamlight protac rail mount hlx this is a thousand lumen i have done a full review
of this as well and i'll put a link to that here at the top of the screen now one thing you may
notice is that this light originally comes with a picatinny rail mount and i have swapped that out
for the arasaka inline m-lok rail mount gets it in a little bit tighter and closer to your hand guard
is you can see how long this inline rail mount from arisaka is where i can effectively push
this light all the way out to here once i get that suppressor on there if i want to
you'll notice that light also comes with the front tape switch here and i have the cables just routed
in here through that tape switch mount and i just keep it all organized with some ranger bands
looking up here at the front sight this is the fixed front sight post from midwest industries
i really like the way this looks and i like the functionality of always having my front sight
there some guys like it some guys don't if you don't like the fixed front post you could always
go with some magpul folders while we're on sites let's go back here to the rear sight we have the
magpul mbus pro just a nice flip up backup site i like how low profile the pro version of their
sights are so that's why i went with that one and it fits nicely underneath my magnifier here
moving on to optics like we just mentioned this is the vortex micro three times magnifier just flips
right there out of the way it's going to give you three times magnification on your red dot
i just like having the option of being able to go magnified if i need to
for further out shots and i really love the way this vortex magnifier functions you just flip
it out of the side there's no buttons to push or anything like that it's just held in with friction
and you just push it in and out of the way whenever you need to
moving on up this is the hollow sun 515cm red dot this is one of the nicer options from hollow sun
you get pretty much everything hollow sun has to offer you get the shake wake technology
you get the solar panel the flip caps you get the qd mount and i just think this is
a great value for your money here and i have done a review on both the red dot and the magnifier
if you want to check that out i'll try to get a link to that right here at the top of the screen
coming on back we're going to take a look at the pistol brace most of you guys are going to
recognize this this is the sb tactical sba3 pistol brace it is fully adjustable and functional i just
really like the way this thing looks i like the way it feels and one thing that really
helps out with that is this aftermarket strap that i put on here this is from lunar concepts
this is their split fix and what you'll notice here is that as that strap comes around it has
an additional strap that goes through here and kind of tightens up that split that you get in the
sba3 and keeps it a lot more rigid so that you're not having to worry about that sba3 getting out
of whack like you normally would you'll also notice here that we do have the law tactical
folding stock adapter i've also done a video on that you'll see a link to that in the description
below this is the last video that we did um really a big fan of that lol tactical folder
i like the idea of being able to fold this up and really shorten the overall length of my pistol
when i'm storing it or transporting it i think that just comes in handy and it's also about a 10
on the cool factor now one thing to mention with the law tactical folder they do have a qd sling
mount here on the bottom but that's really kind of a horrible position because of where your hand
is going to lay on that grip and typically i go with the magpul asap plate back here on the back
the problem with the asap plate is because it sticks out so far on the sides
it wouldn't allow me to fully fold the stock so instead of the magpul asap i went with this
slap plate here i will link to that in the description below that's made by a company called
i kick hippies all right guys that is pretty much it for my ar pistol build i'm really loving this
thing i am totally satisfied with everything that i've decided to put on here if you guys have any
suggestions or any questions make sure you leave those down in the comment section below i always
like to hear from you guys what do you like what do you not like about this build not that that's
really going to matter because i like it and it works for me and that's really all that matters
if any of you guys are in the process of building your own ar-15s or building your own pistol i
hope this video has helped you out giving you some cool ideas of where you can go with that i
have reviewed and tested everything that's on this rifle over the last few months and i fully endorse
and stand behind all of it don't forget guys i'm gonna have links to everything everything you see
