Looks like Extar is keeping these close to the chest and only selling their firearms direct


Yup. I ordered mine from them. Fun little toy.

BLEM PSA AR-V 8" 9mm 1/10 Lightweight M-Lok MOE EPT SBA3 Pistol $699.99



I've gotten a BLEM from PSA and it took me a while to figure out where the blemish was. You would never have noticed without knowing it

I wish you the best but I wouldn't hold on to hope for them actually having one in stock. I could be wrong unless you have one on speed dial.


Called four places Monday morning with no luck. Two stores took my name & number that day. Yesterday afternoon I get a call from one of them saying “We just got two in”. I go straight there and they are both sitting on the counter. Another guy had been waiting and took the other one. $999 plus tax so a bit under $1100 out the door. I’m never this lucky.

Did you get the one with the brace?

Damn, you did luck out

I did. Waiting on the Roksett to cure on the new muzzle brake before I shoot it

You did good. My lack of paying sales taxes made mine a little cheaper. It arrived today but I won't be back home until Saturday

I'm the same way. I walk in somewhere at a gun store and they'll ask "what are you looking for"

I'll say "I don't know until I see it"

Here's my current "PDW" collection taken with my potato phone. Not as impressive as some here but this has been my fetish for only about 6 months

Is the FPC as fun as it looks?

Hell yes. The bolt release sucks and so does the paddle style mag releases for the ones on/in the stock (are you really going to need to quickly access another mag in an extreme situation after throwing 24 rounds down range?, doubtful) but other than that, it's a beast.

I've only run a couple hundred rounds through it flawlessly and highly recommend it. It's very accurate and the locking mechanism is extremely well done and tight

Honest Outlaw beat the shite out of it here and it performed very well

He shits on the safety too but I don't really mind it.

What optic are you running on the Kuna? Is that your final choice or just something you had laying around to test?

Holosun 503 I got for $170 a few months ago.

The one on the FPC is a cheapo Vortex that came with the gun. But it's not total trash.

I'll probably get something nicer for the Kuna after I recoup this $1000 hit in a month or two.

It's a high profile sight, that's why I moved the brace all the way up to get a better cheek rest on the brace. Probably go with something lower profiled

But I can use the lay down sights through if the red dot (it's technically a green dot) takes a shite

First shot (ever) with the Kuna at 24 yards and just mounting the red dot. This was on a shitty table as a rest



Then I put some more really close and then got cocky and it only got worse



Don't be a dumb frick like me and forget ear protection. It's different because your head is really close to the muzzle. I only made it 60-70 rounds before my left eardrum felt like it was going to explode. Very rookie and dumb mistake. I'm kicking myself for having to cut the trip so short but fortunately I can just run down the road and shoot almost anytime I please. You can see how hasty the trip was planned out with my target and my "tacks"

The Kuna ran like a champ on reloaded brass FMJ and was a blast to shoot

Your "tacks' look like ingenuity to me

Take the plunge and buy you a staple gun to keep under the seat in your truck.
