Suppressors Ar 15 Pistol

Re: Ar 15 Pistol

There are some threads on this in here somewhere.

How the lower is marked is not determinative....it had to be booked the first time it was transfered as a "pistol." Once the lower is part of a "rifle" it cannot be a "pistol" unless it was a "pistol" first.

Clear as mud?

Verticle fore grip is a no-go on a pistol.
 
Re: Ar 15 Pistol

HiCap is right,when you purchase a stripped lower,register it as a handgun,you are covered.You can also use the lower to build a rifle if you scrap the pistol project.

Wrong info,Outsyd and my dealer both confirmed a lower is a lower is a lower.Don't know when the rules changed,but they did.

In the great cannon of ridiculous and pointless gunlaws, this has always struck me as one of the most indefensible and foolish!
 
Re: Ar 15 Pistol

You can no longer designate a lower as a pistol lower on a 4473. The new 447s it is logged as a reciever ... and a reciever only .... not a pistol reciever or a rifle reciever ..... a lower is a lower is a lower.

Build what you want but dont put a stock on it if you want to make it a pistol, once a stock is on it ...... its a rifle.

I just found that out this morning from the local dealer,I've registered a couple of receivers as handguns at no extra cost,but some dealers charged an extra $40 plus for the Pistol stamped lowers.I know a few guys that paid it because they were worried about violating the NFA.
 
Re: Ar 15 Pistol

ar15 pistols are worthless. They jamb a lot. Very dirty. loud as hell. Have the pointed closed buffer tube in the back. Piss off people at the range.

Front grip as stated = AOW $5 tax stamp through NFA/BATF
