My Suppressed AR-15 Deer Pistol

I recently rounded up all the parts for this pistol chambered in .300 AAC Blackout, had them Cerakoted, then built it last week while on Christmas break.

The reason I chose to go the AR-15 pistol route is that I wanted something compact for my suppressor so that I didn't have it attached to a long barrel while hunting in woods. I couldn't go the short-barreled rifle (SBR) route since Indiana for some unknown reason felt it necessary to include a provision in the HPR bill that prohibits rifle barrels less than 16" for deer. So now I'll just use my 8.5" pistol barrel. LOL! An added plus is that I'm no longer restricted to 10 rounds -- not that I need that many for deer, but it's one less thing to deal with. The icing on the cake is the Law Tactical folding stock adapter.

I built this pistol as a single shot by blocking the gas port, so that's where the side charging handle will come into play. Shoot, rack the bolt to chamber a new round, then shoot again. It makes for a much more quiet configuration without the bolt clattering around in semi-auto mode.
