AR-15 Pistol Kits: The Smart, Budget-Friendly Choice

Want to customize your next firearm without overspending? An AR-15 pistol kit is one of the smartest ways to build: you get a nearly complete firearm package, hands-on experience, and big savings compared to buying a finished gun. At AR15-Overstock, we stock a wide selection of pistol kits across calibers and barrel lengths so builders of every experience level can find the right match.

What comes in a typical AR-15 pistol kit?

Most kits include everything you need except the stripped lower receiver:

  • Complete upper assembly — barrel, handguard, gas system, and muzzle device.

  • Bolt carrier group (BCG) & charging handle option — quality components for reliable cycling.

  • Lower parts kit (LPK) — trigger, safety, pins, and other small parts.

  • Buffer tube assembly — often with pistol brace-compatible options.

We offer kits in popular configurations like 5" and 7.5" as well as longer 10.5" uppers for builders who want better ballistics. Browse by type: 5.56 Pistol Kits • 9mm Pistol Kits • Blemished & Clearance

Why builders choose a pistol kit

  • Save money. Kits are usually less expensive than buying each part separately or a factory pistol.

  • Hands-on education. Building your own AR teaches you how it works and how to maintain it.

  • Easy customization. Pick barrel length, caliber, handguard style, and finish to suit your needs.

  • High performance. Modern kits use the same component standards found in premium builds.

Picking the right kit — quick guide

  • Barrel length:

    • 5" — ultra-compact, best for tight maneuvering.

    • 7.5" — balanced compactness and performance.

    • 10.5"+ — improved velocity and range.

  • Caliber: 5.56 NATO for standard rifle performance, .300 Blackout for suppressed or subsonic builds, or 9mm for low-cost pistol-caliber carbine (PCC) fun.

  • Intended use: Home defense, truck gun, range toy, or competition will steer your choices.

  • Budget: Consider blemished/clearance kits for significant savings without losing function. See Blemished Kits.
