Yes I can go to 12" barrel and be fine but they are killing me. If the freedom shop starts transferring those things I will likely go for one but the state may tie that thing up forever. Sorry SB but in all honesty I don't have the memory capacity to try and retain info on laws of things I don't plan on doing. Now that I am starting to think about it, I make you dredge up old statutes due to my ignorance. Thank you for your patience and always having laws for us to read on the quick!

He lives for the that shit

Any shops stocking just the lower? Might be time to head down to NGX for a conversation. I wonder if they could do a better deal on a few lowers for a few people.

Ok what if we go in a complete direction and find a mythical preban virgin lower, we could make a pistol out of that and carry as long as one uses 10 round mags and the barrel is not threaded correct?

You have several issues in your scenario. First, is the issue of preban. Once a preban it can have all the evil features. However if a preban AR, that was transferred as a pistol or which barrel shorter than 12 inches, is an assault weapon according to the old two feature limit (magazine regardless of capacity outside the pistol grip, manufactured weight of 50 oz or more when unloaded) then it is an considered an assault weapon by the state. While it can be sold/bought/transferred and not subject to assault weapon registration, it is supposedly still treated as an assault weapon in all other respects. Second, if it is an assault weapon then it can only be legally possessed at those few locations specified by statute. It cannot be carried loaded while concealed between those legal locations. You could however open carry it loaded between those locations.

Can someone give me a link to a place that outlines where an AW can legally be used etc?  Thanks

14.5"+pinned battlecomp ftw!



Im not stamping something I plan to leave in a vehicle. And the 4" isn't a deal breaker for me. Chances are I'll never need it, and if I do I probably won't be all like, "God dammit this is four inches too long!"

But the whole time you have it and aren't using it you'll be all like ,"F yea! Check out my 11.5" with a pinned 1.5" quick silencer mount flash hider! I'm a bad ass bitch!"

{Mods apologies for the 'wall o text'}

Well dagum, thanks SB. It looks like scr with a current upper is my most likely option. It's too bad. I still need to find time to go handle one.

Or I can just go to the range every time I get in a car

Im torn between this and doing the bull-pup stock kit on an SKS like cabinetman was showing off a little while back.

I can be all-in on the SKS for like $500, too, which is a big plus in my opinion.

I have seen Cabnetman's converted SKS. Pretty cool. if I find a cheap SKS I plan to do one too. For now I have decided to focus the bulk my funds on building up my reloading supplies and commercial ammo stockpile.

Who's going to be the first to make an aftermarket stock for this thing? Magpul?

Can the monte carlo stock on the Ares SCR lower even be removed? If it could be removed a third party stock maker would have to include the channel (springs?) for the rat tail recoil mechanism on the Ares SCR BCG. Wonder if the SCR lower with stock is patented.

The Ares SCR lower:

The Ares action and stock is patterned after the Remington 1100. Most 1100 stocks should fit with a little work. There was some thought about the Magpul 870 stock, but the 870 doesn't have any recoil parts so that stock won't work.

Why does the buttstock need changing?

My eyes do not like the look. An AR is not a traditional hunting rifle.
The buttstock portion of an Archangel stock would be cool.
