I need to step my game up...
The 7.5in AR is loud and flashy, 10.5 in one is a little less so, you need a blast forward can on the front or else the 7.5 in will burn the hair on you arms off, the 10.5 on a little less so.
That makes sense, was wondering about the 7.62 mostly because it's touch and go whether 7.62 ARs like to feed or not
For the 7.62 AR I had bought some cheap RWB AR47 mags and they didn't feed for shit. I bought some better quality ones (Duramag) and it feeds good now.
As long as it can be returned to original configuration I believe you are good to go, I just like having an excuse to build something totally new
Not an issue but keep the original configuration as mentioned.
Whats the blast like on that Mosin?
It's big and loud. Everyone on the range knows you are there.
I can imagine
Yes you can “temporarily” change it an have multiple uppers. If you perfume to change the length or caliber you need to change it with the ATF. I also believe iirc you can put a 16” upper on a registered lower and cross state lines because it’s not in the sbr configuration. Again on a temporary basis like a weekend trip. I’m not a lawyer and am going off memory here. I’m just an idiot on the internet
That particular one is a machine gun, so it's extra impractical but fun to shoot.
I read an article from a gun lawyers group that said you Can change barrel length without problems but Not calibers. Thanks.
PTR made the MP5 clone. I have a post sample trigger pack in it so it is full auto. The only issue I had with it is that after a little bit the magazines that came with it would not say in under fire. They would fall out. The magazines had a bunch of play in the mag well. I got some real H&K mags and the fit much better, without all the play and I haven't had a problem sense.
That’s the thing, I’m not a lawyer of any kind. But the AWB clearly defines an assault weapon as having a barrel 16” or greater in length. So with that definition an SBR wouldn’t fall under the classification of an assault weapon because it’s less than 16”.
After you get over the initial shock of the money spent on the weapon and the .gov permission slip and the costs associated with that, was definitely worth it.
A recurring dream of mine is that some day, NFA is repealed and found unconstitutional and all the $200 tax stamps I paid are refunded to me and I get a big check in the mail for the 50+ stamps I’ve paid.
Well, Massachusetts also classifies pistols with magazines outside the grip, and forearms, as well as weigh over 50 ounces, as assault weapons, so good luck with your SBR loophole. Get out of MA.
The NFA as a whole will never be repealed or found unconstitutional by the courts, at least not with the current composition of the courts and Congress. Best we can hope for at the moment is to remove SBRs & silencers from the NFA.
