Here’s a project that has been sitting around for a few months. I had picked up another Jo Bob Outfitters Spartan 9mm lower to build a pistol, but wasn’t in a rush toget it together. I had plenty of other things that needed to be done.
I found an upper on sale at Delta Team Tactical, 7.5 inch, slim rail for $149. I wanted an SB arm brace, just don’t care the blade type. I ended up getting all the parts in and started on it about two months ago. The first problem I ran into was the buffer tube was to tight so, I ordered another pistol buffer tube from Brownell’s. When the new buffer arrived I decided to finish the build. But the new buffer tube was to small and the brace would slip on and fall off.
So I just put everything on the side.
Well yesterday rolled around and the weather, well it sucked. It rained off and on all day so I just spent the day catching up on a few things. Even got around to putting that new 4 foot LED light on my six foot bench. Talk about brighter then the old light. That’s when I saw the box with the pistol brace. I pulled out the idiot sheet and it stated that due to pistol buffer tubes not having a standard size that the brace may fit loose or tight. If tight to use something to help it slip on. If loose to put some tape on the tube.
I decided to go with the tight fitting tube and boy was it tough to get on. After a short fight, that I won, the brace was on. The rest of the build went smoothly. I took it to work this morning and function tested it. It dose not like the Winchester 147 gr ammo, just doesn’t feed good from the mag. It works great with 115 gr ammo.
I still need to get some sights. May put a different muzzle device on it. This is going to be a fun gun.
