AR 10 Pistol

[TFOGGER]

.308 with any type of binary trigger set up or bump fire stock is well out of my price range.

yeah, me too... the sound they make is "buckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuckb uckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuckbuck..."

I laughed entirely too hard at this....I made the noise too

But you have to figure, being a bit of a money-hose is what a 10.5" .308 is likely to be best at, so if that's the build-spec, might as well unleash the awesome while you're at it!

You guys aren't doing a great job of talking me out of this build.

I’d be curious to see some 308 ballistics out of that barrel compared to the same bullet weight in something like a 300 Blackout.

I did get to fire a few shots from a 30-06 pistol once. I wasn’t really kidding about the Volkswagen reference earlier. Powder burning beyond the barrel can be pretty impressive.

Fireballs from the end of a barrel are cool.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim

The SBR in that pic is actually a 5.56 w/ linear comp...

If memory serves, I recall the ballistics for a .308 with that short of a barrel being pretty close to a 300BO (which is going to be all-around cheaper to build/run, and way lighter), particularly with lighter (supersonic) bullet weights....

That said, it's always possible that I'm mis-remembering or otherwise have some error/miscalculation in my understanding (its been a while since looking into this)...I know that a number of our members have far greater knowledge in this area than my own, and hopefully someone can chime in on-topic if my above statement is incorrect...

I have the parts to assemble one some day, when I get some free time, but I haven't gotten there yet. I bought a 12.5" Noveske Leonidas bbl right around when they first introduced the project/idea, and it's still sitting in the wrapper in the parts cabinet.

.308 Pistol

LEONIDAS
Project Leonidas is a 7.62mm weapon system designed by operators for use in a CQB support role. The barrel is a proprietary design, 12.5" long, stainless, with 1 in 10" polygonal rifling. The rifle runs smooth with minimal felt recoil and concussion.

- Average 10 ft velocities with M118-LR 175gr 2417 fps, high, and 2365 fps, low.

- Average 5 shot average with 120 gr 7.62 2839 fps.

Another helpful article that sheds some light on short barrel .308.

My vote? Build one!

While a 308 pistol would be a fun toy, keep this in mind:
10" barreled AR10 pistol OAL =
18" barreled Keltec RFB OAL
Both just over 26"

Yes, but then you have to admit you own a Keltec, and that advertising like this worked on you...



Sorry, couldn't resist...
