Summary: Welcome to Tactical Paradise!!! I’m your host Greg Bakken. In this podcast we’ll talk about all things tactical from everyday carry, to the mindset of armed citizens, real life situations and scenarios and the gear that will help you survive. This is episode 72. "Brownells Police Store helps make this show possible. The Police Store has your tactical needs covered including Law Enforcement, Self Defense, and Security.

I find that the brace does not shift after firing around 500 rounds through it. It was "difficult" to install and I suspect the rubber/polymer used inside the brace is designed to be very sticky. Good luck with your build, I find it is very enjoyable, noticeably louder than the 16 in build I did at the same time. Chris Just finished listening to the show. I had no idea you would be reading my e-mail on air. Lol I guess I would have probably worded some things better. I hope I didn't offend too many listeners with my comments, or cause you too much hate mail. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I'm glad you appreciated the article. Thanks, Bradley Hey Greg, What process did you follow to build, register, and transfer your AR pistol? It's obviously not on the handgun roster, nor (unless I missed it, haven't listen to all your podcasts) does it sound like its been built to be a single shot pistol like those manufactured by Franklin Armory. I'm curious as to the process you followed to build a customer AR pistol in California with parts you purchased yourself. I know that you normally can't just buy a stripped AR lower and register it as a handgun for your own home build, nor buy a stripped AR rifle lower and build it as a pistol either. I've heard that you cat get a class 7 FFL to "manufacturer" a single shot AR pistol for you using your parts, but they have to provide the lower which they are then able register and transfer as a pistol being a class 7 FFL. After that you can make any changes to it you wish. Is that what you did? Arturo I'm emailing you today to discuss the phase 5 SIG. First of all I wanted to say thanks for talking about it. I have been wanting a pistol AR for a while but I never liked the ponytail (buffer tube). One thing I should tell you, after looking into it, is that I know it doesn't go onto your forearm but you should really leave the strap on for legal reasons because it was designed and approved the way it's sold. Tampering may change the legality of carrying it. If you could, next time, describe the SB15 pistol a little more because you didn't say that it was meant to be shot with one hand. I was wondering if you could physically shoulder it, because legally you can. I would like to have heard this in the podcast because getting the tax stamp, you would have to stay in the state you currently reside in or you would have to write the congressmen in the state you're leaving and the state you're going to just to transfer between states legally. Furthermore, being 5'10", I'll tell you if you shorten the ponytail for a guy yours size, you're really not going to like it; it's going to leave too big of a gap. I've dealt with a lot ARs at different barrel lengths, including the 7" barrel. Personally, in a 223/556, I have had and handled them being accurate up to 100' and then being tack drivers. Be warned, they are extremely loud but it is cool too see a 3-foot flame when it gets dark. The reason I bring this up is because the guy who you responded to about barrel length was very right. The reason why most shorter carbines are made from 10-13" is for twist ratio. The most common twist real for 223/556 is 1:9. Some cases are 1:7 but commonly 1:9 is used. Bigger calibers such as 6.8 is 1:11 twists and 7.62 300 whisper are the same.
