I'm new to guns in general. I ordered a 10.5" 5.56 NATO Pistol kit and a 20 round magazine for it. The order is "awaiting shipment". This company is legit based on reviews. How long does this process take ? It has been 3 days and it still hasn't been transferred to the shipping company. I also bought 1 box of 20 rounds of 5.56x45 ammo on ammo.com, and 2 boxes of 30 rounds and 2 30 round magazines on ammo.com and got through the verification process.

It's a holiday weekend things are going to be slow I'd give it at least a couple more days.

Patience is required. If you’re new to firearms, then you need to know that this isn’t like ordering from Amazon. Most FFLs are small businesses with minimal staff. Processing orders and shipping take time.

Also, you’ll need more than 80 rounds of ammo. I’d recommend buying more.

Well, I expect for it to come tomorrow. It's coming all the way from Florida, and I'm in Arkansas.

Make sure you have good hearing protection.

I'd start looking for more ammo. You'll run through your on hand ammo really fast.

Umm... This. You definitely need more ammo. Like, A LOT more ammo. That shit disappears at a rate that you can't even make sense of

"Buy a case" is solid advice. You'll be surprised how quick 1k rounds disappear. Still, the "buy 10 mags and a case of ammo" advice that's given to everyone when they start out is a great starting point. It sounds like a lot, but you'll quickly learn it's really not. Over time you'll build up a stack of magazines and start sweating when your ammo stash drops below like 7500 rounds. Ask me how I know. Or just look at my order confirmation from today ??.

I'd be worried they are not going to ship your order considering pistol AR's with short barrels and a pistol brace are "illegal" per the ATF tonight at 12:00.

They shipped it a few days ago. Here is what is contained:
Mil-Spec 7075 T6 Upper Receiver with Dust Cover and Forward Assist
10.5" 1:7 Twist 4150 Barrel with Black Nitride Finish
Carbine Length Gas System
.750 Low Profile Gas Block
A2 Flash Hider
10" Free Float M-LOK Hand Guard
Bolt Carrier Group
Charging Handle
Mil-Spec Lower Parts Kit
Pistol Buffer Tube Assembly
Hard Coat Black Anodized Finish

I bought this just for self defense, and also I'm planning to buy 2 m9 bayonets as well.

You’re better off buying a rifle for self defense now that pistol braces are considered stocks.

The m9 bayonet on a 10.5” AR pistol is not going to work. Nor is a bayonet something I’d consider for defensive use.

Pistol ARs are not illegal. A pistol brace installed on pistol AR makes it a SBR. The AR15 pistol with pistol buffer tube has been around since the 80s, well predating pistol braces.

And even if pistol ARs were all considered SBRs, there are many registered SBRs and MGs that can use short uppers…..e.g. why would the brace ruling at all affect a company shipping an otherwise legal short barreled upper?

Are the bayonets for when you run out of ammo?
