My TGO 300 Blackout AR Pistol Build

[KKing]

I will take a hole that is not cleaned up to save $40. Mine that I actually received is a work of art.

Myself, I don't care if that hole is boogered up, I need one of those on my 7.5" pistol. I'm gonna see this evening if I'd be able to access the set screw adjustment with the rail on, if so I'll have one as well. Thanks for the tip

Received the Seekins magazine release button and enhanced bolt catch. Not sure why the finish isn't the same on both parts, but that's not really an issue.

 I wasn't meaning that one shouldn't order it because of that, heck i'll be in the market for an adjustable block for my .223 AR as soon as the Grendel is finished and this on is definitely in the runnings. I just found it funny that out of all of them that they produce that are likely perfect, this was the one that was on top of the pile when it came time to take a stock photo.

My order from Ironworks Tactical. From order to doorstep was 3 days. That's coming from California.

What I have done so far.

 

CMT Upper and Lower Receiver

MAS Defense Pistol Tube w/ Phase 5 Foam Tube

Ironworks Tactical LPK

Noveske QD End Plate

ALG ACT Trigger - This thing is great for a slightly upgraded stock trigger.
Seekins Bolt Catch and Magazine Release Button

BAD-ASS Ambi Safety Selector 

Custom (300 BLACKOUT) Ejection Port Cover

Custom Stippled Umbrella Corp Grip 23 - Awesome for a pistol build. 

 

Still looking for KNS pins and a Norgon Ambi-Catch Magazine Release.

Are you getting the KNS for looks?

[TripleDigitRide]

Are you getting the KNS for looks?

Pretty much. I'm not sure they serve much purpose on a semi-auto. I just like the way they look. 

[Guest 6.8 AR]

You can get KNS pins on Amazon.

Yeah, I forgot to order them when I ordered the other parts. I was hoping to find some local, so I could install them right away. I found some.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I got some on Amazon. They came in in about five days. No Prime.

[Lumber_Jack]

Joeboboutfitters I believe has them too. Pins and pin kits. Would be there fast

....

MAS Defense Pistol Tube w/ Phase 5 Foam Tube

 

Noveske QD End Plate

 

So that pistol tube was able to still reach the buffer retaining pin using the end plate?

 

Meaning, aren't they sized to be screwed in all the way to just catch it, without plate width? And if it sizes to it now, seems it would have been too long without it?

 

Looking great.

I'm talking about the buffer retaining pin in base of buffer thread area, that holds the buffer back when you open the AR. Screwed in flush with the end plate, the length is just right for that?

 

Meaning I thought a lot of pistol buffer tubes used their own rim to hold the takedown spring/detente?

edit: never mind, thanks LJ. I see looking at pix sampling now that most are indeed designed to allow for the plate.

[Oh Shoot]

As per above post, guess was thinking about that I might change to a rifle length tube on mine, which indeed will not hold the plate as it comes up too short to reach buffer retaining pin.

 

Folks who do that generally either thread the takedown pin channel and use set screw, or even simpler, just use a KNS push pin, eliminating need for the spring/detente altogether.

 They have them in stock at Outpost, I didn't catch the price though.

 

 Right after I clicked "post" I read the last of your post stating that you found a set. Guess I should read the whole post next time.

TDR, did you ever finish this build? I wanna see the pics!

Not yet. it's going to be a while. I started at a bad time, with home improvement projects already underway and over budget. Then I had to drop nearly $1500 on vehicle maintenance and repairs. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.  

[TripleDigitRide]

This is as far as I've gotten. I have a few parts in a box, but not enough to put anything else together.

With all of the home projects going on, this has taken a backseat for a while. 

I picked up this set from PSA for $83 (using my free $50 gift card) shipped. I may be done by this time next year.

Looks cool so far man. Do you already have a 300 bolt-face and carrier?

300 Blackout uses the same bolt and carrier as any standard 223 AR.
