Awesome, what are you getting? A can or SBR or?</div></div>
I assembled a stripped lower the other day, and went to the Local Gun Shop and bought a PWS MK110 upper for it. In order to ensure that I would be in compliance with the NFA act, they wanted me to present to them either an SBR stamp or a pistol lower before I took possession of the upper. I didn't have a pistol buffer tube at the time (I actually didn't have a buffer tube at all), so they will allow me to actually take possession of the upper tomorrow after my pistol buffer comes in and I screw it on the lower receiver. Bullshit? Meh, kinda. I had no intentions of willfully violating the NFA act, but better safe than sorry I suppose. I'll leave the AR configured as a pistol until the stamp comes in, then change out the buffer tube and put a Magpul CTS stock on it.
I knew I wanted a PWS gun, but both of my (relatively) nearby authorized PWS retailers didn't have a complete rifle in stock and could not provide a timeline as to when they would get one. I figured the next best thing was a PWS upper on my stripped lower. They had one in stock and I wanted to ensure that it became mine before someone else bought it up in the "buying frenzy" that has seemed to spring up since the election. It wasn't until I paid for it that they asked to see my pistol lower. I know and talk to these guys on a regular basis, so they knew that I didn't currently have an SBR stamp. They had my best interest at heart, I guess. I'm in no hurry to actually take possession of the item anyways. I just wanted my name attached to that particular piece of equipment before it disappeared with no timeline on another one showing up.
As far as a suppressor is concerned, thats in the works. I just couldn't spring for the $1200 upper, $450 EO Tech, $100 BUIS, $200 stamp, AND a $xxx suppressor all at the same time. All suggestions point to an AAC 762-SDN-6 for dual purpose use on my (old) GAP built LR308 and the 5.56 SBR. However, I'm open to suggestions on the suppressor.
Congrats on getting your stamp!
