My only "issue" are the iron sights: I cannot get low enough to use the pistol sights (due to corrective glasses) and they are also blocked if a suppressor is used, so I went with Troy Micro sights on top of the rail. They work but they sit too high for a proper cheek weld. I also tried a set of H&K SL-8 sights . They sit lower than the Troy's but the rear sights takes too much space on the rail and the adjustment mechanism seem to fragile... Please consider either an integrated and adjustable iron sights or removable and adjustable set of an appropriate height over the rail....Or just lower the top rail! I would even mind loosing the pistol sights...After all my SBR'ed G17 is dedicated to the KPOS :) Eye candy:

I keep coming back to these. I'm seriously considering SBR'ing a G22 just for this. With a G22, I have my .40 and with a conversion barrel, the 9mm.

I live in CT with remaining AWB restrictions and I can't have a folding stock on this. Is there an easy/obvious way to pin the stock open?

Are SBRs legal in CT? If they are, you may find that there is no restriction on folding stocks for SBRs. If there are restrictions on folding stocks for SBRs, then the hinge could be simply welded, or the hinge pin and sping could be replaced with a bolt and nut.

Sig 229 works with the 226 version, and maybe the 220 as well - the frame is similar, but there are not many 220 outside of the US, so harder to test.

I know this is kind of a long shot, but is there a model in the works for CZs?

I was told that by simply adding a foregrip on a pistol, it made an illegal weapon.
When I asked for information about the restrictive law, I was given this link: HERE So is this kind of kit legal to carry around, take to the range, etc. ??? "" For civilian use, it turns a pistol into an effective, compact carbine that can be carried or stored in about the same space as a pistol. It is handy in confined spaces, and a lot of fun as well. ""  |

"" Turns your Pistol into an SBR - Short Barreled Rifle: "NFA Information: The KPOS itself is not an NFA device. It is simply a stock in the eyes of the ATFE. Before the stock can be mounted on a pistol, the pistol itself must be registered with the ATFE (with a Form 1) as a short-barreled rifle. Once the pistol is registered, the KPOS may be installed. I am not sure whether the ATFE would consider possession of the KPOS and an unregistered pistol to be constructive possession ( I am work on getting a firm answer on this). Since different ATFE field offices tend to enforce things differently, my advice right now would be to store a KPOS with someone who does not have the appropriate pistol until your pistol is registered as an SBR. Once the pistol is registered, it will always be an SBR. The KPOS can be removed and the pistol can still be used as a pistol, but the registered pistol will always be an NFA device, with or without the KPOS (or GLR17/440) installed." |

Federal law is clear - it causes the pistol to be considered an SBR as far as ATFE is concerned, and is subject to certain federal restrictions. In some states/locations, this is all that applies. In other states, SBRs are not allowed at all, or more restricted. Some states do not allow an SBR to be concealed, or for carry of an SBR to be covered under their carry permit laws, so in certain states it may not be legal to pull the pistol out of the KPOS and stick it in you concealment holster, while it is in others. As far as I know, TX has pretty good laws, but you will want to check this yourself, as I am not an expert on state law by any means.
So is this kind of kit legal to carry around, take to the range, etc. ??? According to the ATFE, you can remove an SBRed pistol from the registry, but they don't refund your tax, of course. |
