Bolt Action AR? - AR15.COM

Posted: 3/29/2001 1:26:10 AM EDT

I was loking at the TUBB 2000 [url]http://www.zediker.com/[/url] and got to thinking: could you bypass the 1994 ban and get the "evil" features on an AR if it were converted from semi-auto to bolt action? I know this wouldn't appeal to you SHTF types, but perhaps many Californians or New Jerseyans, etc. could benefit form such a design, esp. if they are reserve/ ANt. guard types who just wnat to practice with the right ergonomics and characteristics of their issue rifle. Thoughts?

Remove the gas tube and plug the gas port with something. In a pinch, you could cut the gas tube off before the bend, and install it upside down, to block the port.

You can also make your magazine non-detachable in some manner, to bypass the ban (no detachable magazine means not an AW under the federal law) and have all the evil features you want.

Or you could check out the DPMS pump action AR that bypasses the problem too.

As far as NJ is concerned, we're allowed to own any post-ban AR we want, but it still is a cool idea. BTW, about how much do they cost??

Looks kind of expensive according to the response I got to my post in the competition forum. [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=11854#lastPost[/url]

Still, that is for much more than the action - I really do want to know about that rifle from the overall comp. standpoint - just wanted to show you guys the action part.

I am curious - how does Kalifornia law define "AR style receiver"?

Proud Texan,
