Would like to see pictures of CT AR15 pistol builds or ideas that people are throwing around about future pistol builds. Have 2 stripped lowers and one is going to be a pistol then SBR in future
 10.5 or 11.5 upper is what I am shooting for  Want a 9" 300blk but ammo is still pricey, so will go with the before mentioned size in 556.

Your thinking of 98Cobra 
ETA: Some of my variations of pistols Ive had....These were 2 lowers, which are now both SBR'd. No more pistols for me....EVER  They were fun stepping stones though.

300 blackout. 8.5" barrel, sig brace on a kak tube. It's a little extended and more comfortable than just a plain pistol tube, I've made it a little longer since this pick. <a href="http://s1236.photobucket.com/user/pirrosnet/media/Mobile%20Uploads/7D0B45B8-4F9C-463F-9C05-70A80734FBC8_zps4y6pdfrr.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff456/pirrosnet/Mobile%20Uploads/7D0B45B8-4F9C-463F-9C05-70A80734FBC8_zps4y6pdfrr.jpg</a> Looks good man.... and my advice cohiba, and anyone else looking to do a pistol build....go with the sig brace like jeff....the bare tube is not much fun

I had built this one before the ban with a pinned mag (non-AW) and a 7.5" barrel. Now it has a pinned 10rnd mag and still not an AW

So a friend of mine told me he went to the range with his AR pistol and was told by an RO that it was illegal to have
The RO told him the lower was not marked pistol and was not a pre ban  He has since shipped his upper to another State. Is this true ? If so it has put a halt to my pistol build

Its worth the wait on a list lMO. I belong to a private club. I've been told some real goofy shit by RO's. I try my best to just be "aw shucks" personable, but there comes a point where you have to confidently tell the other party that they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. If they have any shred of intelligence, they already know that any further conversation is simply "aw shucks" face saving on their part. I especially like the RO that gave Andrapos and I shit about our pre-bans, and then on a later trip he proceeded to tell me about his "filed down sear" for a supposed full-auto conversion "for SHITF". I cracked open my AR and asked him to show me which part he filed down. Later he asked me if I wanted to buy some reloaded pistol ammo. FUCK NO! I'm an RO there too. I don't question the legality of configurations. Thats the problem of the guy possessing it. I only call out safety issues (which is another story altogether) |

(B) A semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following: (i) An ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; (ii) A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip or silencer; (iii) A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned; (iv) A manufactured weight of fifty ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and (v) A semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm; NFA Firearm ruling: NFA 26 U.S.C. 5845(a)
“(3) a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length;” (“short-barreled rifle”) and “(4) a weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length (“weapon made from a rifle”) |

In the state's eyes:
-According to Sec. 53-202a and the state's definition of a pistol (less than 12"), an AR pistol is legal as long as it does NOT have an option from (ii) through (v). In the fed's eyes: -The lower receiver must be registered as a "Other Firearm"/pistol from the get-go (and have never been built as a rifle). -According to (NFA), 26 U.S.C.5845(a)(3), you must store (in a different location) additional parts that would give you the ability to make you AR pistol into an SBR. ------------------ So, I can order a lower receiver, ship it to an FFL, register it as a pistol, and begin my build? With that said, what type of scrutiny do you guys receive at the range for having this configuration? |

Whoops I missed your first post. The only way your doing a pistol in CT is to find a VIRGIN PREBAN receiver. |

No FFL is going to let you order/buy a lower receiver unless you are
in the exempted class (Mil or Le with letterhead) or unless it is a pre-ban. As Bending said, the pre ban would have to be a virgin lower, or if can find the few that were factory made into a pistol like the Oly Arms OA93 This is assuming that you don't have any virgin lowers registered with the state already prior to 12-31-13 deadline. If you did register a lower prior to the cutoff and kept it a virgin lower, one could assume that you could build it as a pistol. Many here believe that an "AW" is an "AW' is an "AW" and once registered can be built into any configuration. Range issues with other people would come up now and again for sure. As many people don't know the law, including many police. |
