Nice use of the URX panels. I thought about trying a set on a URX4, but didn't want to add anything additional to the outside diameter of the handguard, so I used Ayan's grip tape on it. It's perfectly cut for the URX4 M-LOK and provides an amazing amount of grip, regardless of wet/dry hands.

The gun is already built with a 14.5" Colt SOCOM barrel and Noveske upper. I'll be replacing the Noveske upper with the SR-15 upper. For now I live in MD, and we're limited to heavy profile barrels, hence the SOCOM barrel. This started October 1, 2013. My AR's built prior to this date are barreled in many different configurations, but on AR's currently sold or built in the state, we must utilize an hbar. As you can imagine, this severely restricts us as far as barrel selection. If I had the ability to use an E3 barrel/bolt, believe me, I'd be doing so. It doesn't help that I know where I can pick up a nice, low round count E3 barrel/BCG right now. Using the SR-15 lower, upper, URX4, and other KAC parts are as close as I can get for now. Trust me, it sucks being a poser. This is the gun in it's current configuration. It'll be getting the SR-15 upper and a KAC buffer by the end of the week. Slowly adding/replacing parts with more KAC as I find them. I've also been contemplating sending the barrel out to Marvin for some dimpling, but I haven't made my mind up yet. I live about three miles south of the Mason-Dixon line. Within the next year or two I'll be moving just north of the line into PA and I'll be free again. My first purchase will more than likely be a complete Mod 2 Carbine to celebrate my newfound freedom. I can't wait. ETA: I've always enjoyed the pics of your rifles/builds. I've had a few of your guns as screensavers over the past few years. One of my favorites that I believe was yours was of an FDE cerakoted AR, with I believe if I remember correctly, a URX 3.1 and one of the old CMMG skeletonized .22LR mags. I think the rifle was laying on a deck or some wood planks. I loved that pic for some reason, but I lost it somehow. |

No implications being made, genuinely curious It's kind of enforceable, but kind of not. All lowers purchased in the state have to be registered at the time of purchase, along with a seven day waiting period. This means they know exactly when you bought it. If it was after 10/1/13, don't get caught with anything but a heavy barreled upper. The other side to that is how will you get caught, but I follow the laws because I'm a law abiding citizen and we typically do that even when we don't agree with them. We fought it and lost, so now we have to live with it. The funny thing is, if you purchase a stripped lower you have to register it and wait seven days, but if you purchase a complete heavy barreled rifle, there's no registration and there's nothing but a NICS check that takes 60 seconds, then you can walk out with your new AR. It's cash and carry. I guess the geniuses making our laws didn't realize a complete rifle still includes a lower. Makes a lot of sense, huh? |

When they first passed the new law, ALL AR's were banned. People pushed back and they gave us this hbar exemption. So it was much worse. All AK's are still banned along with M1A's, etc. Pretty much any great semi-auto centerfire rifle. And then they have a ridiculous feature test to cover the others they didn't ban by name. |
