I see that LMT has 203's back in stock, will they sell them as Title 1 receivers to the general public? Any other place beside Clyde Armory that I should try?
|
|
I don't think I've ever seen an LMT sold as just the receiver. I've seen like mr40mm's ones but they are a lot more expensive.
|
|
Clyde's is the civvie outlet for LMT. They will do a title 1 transfer on just a receiver if you ask them. GROG

You can find new and used on gunbroker for 150-300 depending on condition. Good luck, GROG

I called clyde's last week. The guy that answered said that they only have the DD and haven't had title 1's for awhile. He was not sure if/when they would get more. I've been looking for a title 1 for a bit now. The search continues.
|
|
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see why those couldn't be sold as Title I without barrels.

Clydes always has some Colts in stock too but I dont know if they are bare receivers. They run about 50% more and I'm not sure if it's worth it over the LMT.

I called Clyde's and after a phone call back from a different employee than the one I talked to the first time they told me ordering one wouldn't be a problem. |

View Quote I don't own an M203 yet...but from the ones I have used in the Army and Marine Corps, I can pretty confidently say that I wouldn't pay 50 dollars more for a Colt M203 over an LMT. I guess if I was enamored with having it say "Colt" on the side, but functionally? No way. |

Saw this thread and it got me curious! I understand that you can get a 203 on a title one transfer but then what can you do with it once you get it? Do people just put a 37mm barrel on it?
|
|
37mm barrels are a little hard to find right now, but that's one way. The other way is to have no barrel, do your form 1, and put a 40mm barrel on it when you're stamp comes back.
You probably know this, but the reason to do the transfer in a title 1 configuration is because Destructive Device FFLs are kinda scarce. |

View Quote So if you do a Form 1 on it do you list it as a DD? With it being on a form 1 that would mean it would have to be engraved right? Where would you engrave it? I apologize for the questions I'm good on SBRs, Cans, and everything else but have never thought about a 203 until I came across this thread. |

So if you do a Form 1 on it do you list it as a DD? Yup.
With it being on a form 1 that would mean it would have to be engraved right? Yup. Where would you engrave it? 'Barrel, frame or reciever' is what the CFR says. |

Yes please post some pics. I'm interested as well.
Where can I get smoke rounds for civilians after I installed a 37mm. barrel? |

Isn't that a sexy bitch.
I think what I like most about the rail mounted '203 is the pistol frame they sell... I would have me a pistol frame, and a holster. |
|
|
It will be a graceful fit on a MK18... I think it would take some fabricating to go on an AK...and some magic to make it not look like an afterthought... but, you have options, and that's a good thing.

I've heard about 37mm barrels for a title 1 reciever for years... yet I have never seen one or heard of anyone who has one. Where would you plan on getting it from?

View Quote Same here and I have no idea...I know Randy Shaivek (sp?) used to sleeve 40mm barrels with a slick (non rifled) 37mm tube but I don't think he does it anymore, not real sure. |

Anyone know of a shop/person who would machine a Spikes 37mm to 40mm with rifling?
