AR pistol kits

When it comes to building a compact, versatile firearm, AR-15 pistol kits are leading the charge—and AR15-Overstock has become a go-to source for gun builders looking for quality, affordability, and variety. Whether you're looking for a range toy, truck gun, or home defense setup, AR15 pistol kits offer unmatched flexibility.

What Is an AR-15 Pistol Kit?

An AR-15 pistol kit includes nearly everything you need to assemble an AR pistol—minus the stripped lower receiver. These kits typically come with:

  • Upper receiver and barrel

  • Handguard (often M-LOK for modularity)

  • Bolt carrier group (BCG) and charging handle

  • Lower parts kit

  • Buffer tube and pistol brace (where applicable)

They’re a cost-effective and legally compliant way to build a shorter, more maneuverable firearm.

Why Choose a Pistol Over a Rifle Build?

  • Compact Size: Great for close-quarters or vehicle use

  • Lighter Weight: Easier to carry for extended periods

  • No NFA Paperwork: As long as you follow ATF regulations, no tax stamp required

  • Customization Options: From barrel lengths to braces, builds are highly modular
