Is that a remade Olympic Arms?

I doubt it, AR15L...the Extar has a polymer receiver, the bolt cutout is in the receiver, and it appears that Extar figured out the recoil spring. Here is a link to a video review: https://youtu.be/sUqLfWS0r8g

OK, now that was a good video.
I might have to get me one of these.

Down to 3, gents...quantity 1 triggers a new order.

Any way to mount a brace to it yet? That is a neat little package.

There is an accessory called the Tacti-Mount, however the manufacturer is re-designing it. In paralell, one of my colleagues is looking at making a stiffer mount for an arm brace. Right now, there is a sling mount accessory available.

Just watched the video. I think thats a perfect truck gun. The price point is killer too!

So they remade the Kel Tec PLR 16 and called it original?
Close or same price, both shoot 5.56 and both are polymer framed and light.
I love my Kel Tec, can't shoot thing and not be happy.

I wonder what kind of velocities come out of it. I'm assuming it is an eardrum breaker like the Keltec. Looks like a cool package for the price.

I guess the muzzle blast is significant from these AR pistols, as would be expected.

As for concealment and/ or keeping it in your vehicle, Allen makes a bag that will hold a scoped Extar and several magazines plus sundry other items. The great thing is that it does not appear to be your typical rifle bag: http://allencompany.net/store/encore-contender-pistol-case-w-2-extra-barrel-pockets.html

possible to add a pistol buffer?

I suppose it would be possible, but it might require a re- design of the rear of the lower receiver, or at the very least, a strong mount.
