As long as it's a carbine gas system sure. Do not assemble and put a regular receiver extension on it. Throw a pistol extension on and you should be good to go.

Has your "extra" lower ever been assembled with a shoulder stock?
If so magic pixie dust falls from the sky and ATF christens it a rifle. When first built into a rifle, it's ALWAYS a rifle in the eyes of the ATF. |

Every stripped lower I have ever bought had long gun written on the paperwork. Has to mean something doesn't it?

This, and it needs to be completely assembled as in having an upper attached. You can also use what reciever extension you want, but you may not want to have any extra stocks laying around and you may want to wrap it paracord or something of the like. I would cut the barrel to 10.5 and no shorter. |
