If you're looking for an AR pistol, an Extar EXP-556(http://extarguns.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). is a great way to get one for a lot less than a "normal" AR pistol. Lightweight (3lbs) and have amazingly low recoil even for shooting a 5.56mm round.

However, a short-barreled AR pistol is going to be loud, and an EXP-556 is no exception. You'll think you've unleashed Thor's hammer with each shot :lol:

I have been eyeing one of those since recently I have been wanting something to leave in my car just in case I ever need something with a bit more firepower than my handgun (I know, I will probably never need it but just having something available would be nice). I could probably hide that thing pretty easily in the cavernous trunk of my Mercury Grand Marquis. I was actually looking for a cheap rifle but there are some advantages (well, there are some disadvantages too) to the smaller Extar.

I can't go into details right now, but something will be announced in the next month or so about the EXP-556's that will make people's jaws drop, and it won't require getting a tax stamp :mrgreen:

I received a shipment of 10 a few days ago and two sold the moment I opened the box!

Very nice! What buffer tube is that? I have the arm brace but the tube I bought was too big to put it on.

ACE buffer tube. It's a TINY bit loose so I need to find some way to tighten it.

Guns are like parachutes, if your ever in a situation that you need one and you dont have one, you'll probably never need one again.

This is what you are talking about?

The first it needs is a daylight green laser pointer with 600+ lunens illuminating LED light.

I sell those, yes, but something is supposed to be announced soon as an accessory to it. Unfortunately, I can't say anything about it yet :cryin

Is it some type of go-fast switch?
Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.
There is no safety in denial. When seconds count the Police are only minutes away.
Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?
