I have a Radical Firearms receiver extension that sticks out 6.750"  out of the receiver. I would like it to be 6.600" to get my OAL down to under 26"

Does anyone have knowledge of whether it's feasible to do this.
I would just grind the amount off on my 8" grinder and grind in the buffer retainer spot. I figure that would be better than messing with the melonited barrel

You're going to lose that 0.150" of stroke, which may keep you from locking back on an empty mag reliably.
Other than that, if you have enough threads, I don't see why it wouldn't do what you want it to.

ETA: IS THIS IT?

Yes it is.
Before I wack and hack,I'll insert  3 quarters at the bottom before the spring goes in and test  the cycling

I can just make the retainer slot deeper without taking any material off the end. That way my mod would be reversible

The threads protruding through the lower will be 1 3/16" in diameter, while the ID of the upper is only 1", so you'll have to do something to add clearance for the top 3/4 of the tube.

Would it be possible to consider a different pistol buffer tube?  I think that the Phase 5 "standard" buffer is shorter than the one you currently have.  I'd have to dig mine out and measure to be sure.

Good catch there. I just checked and I have about 0.200" before the extension would protrude out of the lower

Is there a legal advantage under your state law to getting your OAL under 26"?
Link Posted: 8/28/2014 2:35:05 PM EDT

Some archaic law about pistols needing to be under the magic number of 26"


Hey OP, your not measuring/counting your muzzle device?  Then again it's MI law they may include a non-perm attached muzzle device.

Not threaded in all the way.
Michigan has no state law on measuring OAL so it's up to local yocal interpretation. The firearm needs to be under 26" to be a pistol and thus be able to carry under my Concealed Pistol license.Even the lawyers on our instate gun forum (MGO) have been changing their minds on it.
I know the Feds don't count a non-pinned muzzle device, but some dept by me may since there is no MCL that I can find.

Makes the difference between pistol and firearm.
I believe MI allows for a loaded pistol in the vehicle, but not a loaded "firearm"

Thanks for the explanation - what a pain.  Sounds like Dremel is your friend.  Could you just unscrew your muzzle device & put on a thread protector?
Link Posted: 8/28/2014 5:26:43 PM EDT
[#14]
Yup I could a Thread Protector custom for $15 or order one for $15 plus shipping,I have a Brownells Shorty Muzzle Brake on now but it's load and proud.
To put the Simple Threaded Device on would only require me to take off 0.070" off the STD or Receiver extension

I have a dremel and lots of burrs, also a Dotco Pencil Grinder,files. Most everything a good Toolmaker would need, Unless I already sold it.

No - it only becomes a firearm IF the OAL is greater than 26'' and a vertical grip is added. Federal law still has it as a pistol at 26+'' and no vert grip.

There is if he lives in Michigan at least. I haven't checked where he lives. In Michigan an AR pistol MUST be under 26" AOL or they classify it a SBR regardless of the Fed laws.I know, I looked up the Michigan laws for someone about 4 or 5 months ago. Other states may have similar garbage extra laws. The Mi. laws DO include the flash hider also.

Not cheap but I use a 4" pistol buffer tube. The problem is it takes a special bolt carrier so it is more expensive. I use one in my AR bullpup conversion and it works fine a bit of pain to take apart doesn't break down like a normal AR you have to remove the recoil spring from the buffer tube before you can open up the receivers.

I got the Phase 5 tube and STD in nthe mail.
The Phase 5 is longer that the RF tube.
With the STD and RF tube my OAL is 25 .875 +or- .050" on the 'Ben Franklin" wooden yardstick.
So no worry either way on Michigan Law
46 rounds fire and the RF polymer sights are not some of the finest examples of Craftsmanship, they rock,they roll and they don't sit flush on the rail,and it's their rail and their sights.

Wait, so the Phase 5 buffer tube is LONGER than the one you had?  Interesting.  I know my measuring was right for my tube.  Hmmmmm....    

But, it sounds like you'll be good for your build, correct?   Post pics when you can.

At the time I measured the RF tube it wasn't screwed in all the way due to operator error and the fact that the clearance for the buffer retainer wasn't adequate for it to screw in properly.

It will serve as a spare for my current pistol,or as a spare for my spare virgin lower in case a AR barrel of questionable size finds it's way on over.

No.  If it's over 26", w/o a stock, AND has a VFG attached, it's a firearm.  Otherwise it's just a really long pistol.  ETA:  Federally.  In Michigan, no idea.

Other states may have similar garbage extra laws. The Mi. laws DO include the flash hider also.


If it's over 26" it is a "firearm".


No.  If it's over 26", w/o a stock, AND has a VFG attached, it's a firearm.  Otherwise it's just a really long pistol.  ETA:  Federally.  In Michigan, no idea.


Sorry, to clarify, I meant over 26", w/o a stock, no VFG.


Federally, that's still a pistol.  In Michigan, no idea what you call it.
