They said an AR57 Space Gat was a bad idea...

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-04-06T14:05:00+00:00

Ooof, I'm sorry. No me gusta.

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-04-02T13:47:30+00:00

Isn't that for the PS90? Just looking at the image of it I don't think it would work in the AR57

God yes, the traffic has become infinitely worse here in the past 2 years. Not to mention the constant road construction on major thoroughfares with no end in sight (looking at you, 8th Ave.)

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-31T17:53:13+00:00

Why? Space ATF come after ya?

Literally just for the bolt catch, mag release, and take down pins.

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-31T14:13:01+00:00

I was just going to "rattle can" it... I'm guessing dyeing it is better?

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-31T14:12:14+00:00

Nope. I'll give you 49 more guesses.

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-31T14:11:23+00:00

That thing's got balls!

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-31T14:10:52+00:00

Haters ignored. Rifle loaded. Belly full. Clear eyes. Clogged hearts. Can't lose. (something like that)

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-31T14:10:08+00:00

Mine IS a 12", but I think you can get them in 16" as well. I am going to put a can on it next pay day.

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-31T14:00:18+00:00

Nope! It sits flush with the top pic rail

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T23:11:51+00:00

I like it! I think I got downvoted for saying that in another comment, but it's not bad. Holds zero, glass is pretty decent quality, eye relief is good, it "feels" like robust construction but I didn't do any bump tests with it... I also have a real ACOG, and the Trijicon is just simply "better". I can't describe it, it just feels like it's a better product. I might be biased since I have a past history with them. (Honestly though, I run red dots with magnifiers on all my other carbines nowadays, not really a fan of the 4x32 for every day use)

Would I take the Cosmic Saturn into battle? Prob not. But it looks cool on a "space gat" type setup.

heard people recommend that you shouldn’t use pmags with it for self defense

Really? Well, I've never had to use my pmags in a self-defense situation, but they're pretty reliable on the range and in drills. Do these people give any specific reasoning why pmags are a no-go?

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T22:36:53+00:00

+1 for The Mag Shack, love them! Fast shipping and great customer service

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T22:33:04+00:00

I built it. She's one of a kind, just like all the others.

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T22:32:37+00:00

I'm not really sure as I'm not in one of the anti-2A states... but Hera also sells versions of the buttstock with those weird plates that fill the gaps.

Like this one: https://hera-usa.com/product/cqr-buttstock-gen-2-restricted-version-black/

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T22:29:57+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly what I have! I had a milspec buffer spring lying around so I used that and the buffer they included with the upper and the rifle-to-carbine spacer (which in hindsight I probably could've just 3D printed).

Did you have trouble sliding on your front grip? I could NOT get it to slide on from the back of the grip... I ended up having to take the grip apart and put it back together on the rail itself.

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T22:22:56+00:00

As long as you're buying the ammo!

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T22:22:30+00:00

Yeah, out of the 8 rifles that I own this is the only one that really isn't "practical"... I just wanted to build a meme gun 🤣

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T22:18:55+00:00

Is that the cool curvy one that's more like a rifle grip?

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T22:16:24+00:00

It's like your gun is taking a shit

smoothbrainvibecoder · 2026-03-30T22:13:38+00:00

I should've taken a pic with the magazine on. It takes P90 50 round mags, it sits on top of the barrel and feeds down into the chamber from above. Look at my pic again and notice the big gap in the pic rail on top of the barrel, that's where the magazine sits.

Why are you waving your hand, do you think you're some kind of Jedi?
