These takedown pins have over sized heads to make separating the upper and lower receiver faster and easier. Perfect for the shooting enthusiast with a variety of top ends and a single lower receiver. Heat treated and plated to Mil. Specs.

[@MrJesse4014]

Question? Did you have to make it a fixed magazine and if so what did you use to do that,

[@Zer0Nine]

No fixed mag. This ultimately was registered as an AW when the laws changed over.

[@sansan315]

Can we still build an ar pistol off of a 80% lower in cali

[@tysondeleon9287]

Lol California😕

[@aconn6460]

i'm so sorry california

[@novakjoey]

I'm building a 7.5" AR15 pistol with linear compensator attached. The overall barrel length is 10.5" and was wondering if the rail length Is safe at 10" or 9.5"? The compensator sticks out about 1/2".

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

Nice looking system, my friend. I built a pistol version of Spike's "Compressor" in 5.56. I've had it for awhile now and put a few thousand rounds through it. I love it!

[@OIFOEFVETERAN123]

how much did that phase 5 pistol buffer tube run you?

[@maxpower9672]

GUNSANDSTUFF I've seen them locally (Tennessee) for about $70.

[@MannyRozal]

How is this CA legal? Is yourslower receiver registered as a pistol lower?

[@Zer0Nine]

MannyRozal yup

[@MannyRozal]

ZeroNine Lucky bastard lol.

[@mvogelmeier1]

Hey brother I love the build! I'm looking 2 put together a Spikes Crusader Ar Pistol build. PSA lower parts kit, PSA 11.5 upper, KAK tube and stabilizing brace. BCM carry handle. Any thoughts? this will be my first pistol build I really would appreciate any comments or thoughts on my project... Thanks

[@Zer0Nine]

Sounds like you have a fun build on your hands. Post a video when you're all done.

[@skipskipper99]

you shoot it yet? how's it working?

[@Zer0Nine]

Its a complete blast. I wet myself with every round fired.

[@IsJustThat]

Will this be legal in 2017?

[@Zer0Nine]

It will have to be registered as an AW if you live in California like I do.

[@anythingadrenaline4515]

ZeroNine where in california are you? I'm in SoCal, let's shoot sometime boss

[@SonofaGun310]

I don't think they want us to have them

[@junfelipe4]

What song is this?

[@iExcIuded]

Can you add a fin to the pistol grip and make it ca legal, or is that just for "AW"? the whole Ca Legal shit is making it really annoying to have fun... not worth risking it....

[@Zer0Nine]

Fin grip would not make this legal.

[@marlenechavez7646]

I have an Anderson stripped lower just bought a complete upper now need to finish. what do u suggest I buy for the lower build kit lm building a 10.5" are 15 pistol I'm a newbie and this is my first if u can point me in right direction to complete this is appreciate it. thanks

[@Zer0Nine]

If its your first build its probably best you go with a standard mil spec or slightly enhanced trigger. Once you get some more experience with the platform you'll appreciate a better trigger kit. Baby steps...

[@StreetheatLA]

Enjoyed the video. I️ assume you are also is CA (unfortunately like me). I’m looking at the following upper for an AR pistol. Everything looks like CA compliant, but I’m not sure about the fluted flash can. Can you or anyone else who is familiar with CA gun laws help me out with this.. thanks!

[@Zer0Nine]

Definitely don't want Internet based legal advice. Check with your local 2A attorney. Be safe and not sorry!

[@marlenechavez7646]

what lower kit parts do you have

[@Zer0Nine]

I went with a spike tactical enhanced parts kit. I sourced all of my lower parts from Red Barn Armory.

[@toddthomas4606]

ZeroNine well that work with an Anderson stripped lower

[@freedomlover2646]

just wondering what is inside diameter on that rail?

[@agentxiiihh7227]

We can still build pistols. Just use a 80% lower. But you have to have it engraved to make it compliant

[@Zer0Nine]

This is true to my knowledge but check local laws or contact a 2a attorney to be safe.

[@btw911]

Why Can't you install a MagLock, and not register it? It would then Be a Break Top and would have a Fixed mag. Just wondering nice build.

[@VengeanceIV]

Nvm, doesn't apply to pistols. Ignore me.

[@btw911]

CA AW laws Apply to any firearm that has a "Bullet Button" so these fall in that Category regards less of Pistol or Rifle. And it's near impossible to a Pistol Featureless so it's either, A: Register it as an RAW, B: out a maglock on it and it's still ok to have or C: leave it as is and risk getting caught with a Unregistered AW. We are getting Screwed here in CA

[@nlrivers]

What brand flash can ?

[@houstonmontgomery4317]

Did your PSA upper, come without their logo on it?

[@Zer0Nine]

I'd have to double check but I don't think the upper had PSA markings.

[@colorado_koolaid2625]

What brand barrel is this?

[@Zer0Nine]

I've put all of the details of this build in the description.

[@Blankford777]

That sight tho 😥

[@Zer0Nine]

That's not the regular sight I run on this. It was just for the video. I use a vortex strikefire red dot which I've found to work pretty well for my needs. Thanks for the comment.
