[quote name="Seaslug" post="1164276" timestamp="1404243902"]Yes, but you'd end up with more of a "temple" weld than a "cheek" weld. :PSent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using technology and stuff[/quote] This would be my fear, I'm not sure of the height of the UTG riser for example. They're just stating you must buy one of those risers for proper cowitness height, nothing keeping you from clamping that base onto a riser Edited July 1, 2014 by KKing

Gotcha. Thanks both for explanation.

You are so right.  I have the Vortex Sparc, which is very similar, on a high riser and it's perfect on the AR platform. 

 

I have another Votex Sparc, in the mount presented in the AIM configuration, working for me on my AK on a side mount.

Another good AK mount choice is Midwest Industries http://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=421

Found another place with very competitive pricing vs PSA. Primary Arms sells their stuff so must be good to go.

Have some good prices on stuff, not sure who makes their barrels but all of the reviews I have found online (granted, not many) are positive.

I passed on one for my current build but might pick one up for a beater/steel case shooter

Been thinking about an AR pistol or maybe SBR?

 

Probably never gonna beat this at PSA with 10.5" FN barrel: $279

Already gone unfortunately. Wish I had seen this earlier.

 

I'm still torn on building one or just buying one.

Be hard pressed to build an upper like that with a known quality barrel for that price.

 

I grabbed identical one about a month ago to use up most of my leftover stuff for $319 in hand and thought that was quite the deal, no idea it would come around again at more than 20 clams even less.

 

Course, not everybody is gonna want an A2 gas/sight block either, and that fat handguard has to go even if you do. So building one from scratch to what you want sans some of the stuff on this one might bring you in cheaper than buying this and adding to it -- maybe.

I was coming to post that OS. I am calling tomorrow to order one - I have two stripped lowers on the way and plan to build one up as a pistol. Not sure if I will actually like the Sig brace (missed out on a couple chances to test one at the range so far) but this is too great of a deal to pass on.

[runco]

Now thats a good deal, I just don't have a need for the brace today, but maybe someday.  Thanks OS.

[Oh Shoot]

..... Not sure if I will actually like the Sig brace ....

 

If you use a KAK or similar tube to get 12" of pull or better, you won't be able to do anything but like it. Also recommend an upright grip like one of Magpul's K2 models, makes amazing diff on wrist/arm for short LOP configs.

 

The sheer functionality of the brace overrides esthetics IMNSHO. Amazing and unexpected gift from the ATF.

From what little reading I have done, the KAK tube is what I plan to grab when I start this build. I am probably going to spend a few months building it up, have to decide what barrel length I want to go with.

Just ordered the KAK Sig Super Tube $48.50 delivered. Makes for a pretty cheap SBR ..... :)

Is that just the tube, or the kit? KAK has the kit with QD endplate for $93 and I am planning to use it when I get to building the pistol. May build up the lower over the next 2 months (ALG ACT trigger and short throw 45 degree safety are on my list), and then a 10.5" upper around Thanksgiving or Christmas.

[Fourtyfive]

This is the 2nd gen tube that uses the standard endplate and castle nut. Tube only.

Note to newbies: make sure you have 30mm scope barrel, not the more common 1 inch.  Guess you could use a reducer though .. YMMV depending on which brand seems.

Yep! Thanks OS for the disclaimer. I've never used reducers so not sure on what brand to go with, but for me, I would feel more comfortable with just putting a 30mm scope in a 30mm mount.
