Branching Evolution

This is the first in a 3-part series of building out a pistol lower as a PDW with 5.56 and 300blk options.

Most AR rifles are built with an upper and lower that stay together. In this case, I have two short uppers on a shared lower.

I'll dive into the base lower but first, pics.

The lower was a fun project, registered as a pistol. Here's the build list if you want to try it at home.

Lower receiver: Spike's Tactical Honey Badger multi-caliber
Trigger guard: Magpul
Bolt Catch: Phase 5 Lever
Trigger: ALG ACT
Grip: Magpul K2+
Castle nut: V7 Ultralite
End Plate: V7 Ultralite
Small parts: Palmetto State Armory
Brace: Cain Arms Ultralight

Up next I'll be covering the 5.56 upper, and then wrapping up with the 300blk upper.

What do you think? Do you have a lower for every upper, or do you set up multiples on one lower?

Be sure to drop a comment and share if you care. In the meantime, stay accurate.
