I would check to see on the lower forums if a Form 4 is still taking over a year. If you could wait you wouldn't have to worry about the engraving and I'm sure
whoever the dealer is would walk you through it, my first form 4 dealer walked me through it and double checked my paperwork before I filed. I think you'll be happier in the long run if your heart is set on an SBR. |

From what i understand, this is the actual common practice for the PRIVATE sale of an existing SBR, but the issue is whether or not a licenced online dealer would be willing to go the same route. I am guessing that ATFE might notice a trend if firearms were removed from the active registry on X-date and a Form 1 filed, to return them to the active registry, on Y-date. I also agree that an SOT wouldn't want to mess with that. Probably something about "intent" to skirt NFA registry requirements, who knows. I figure if it was kosher then it'd be common place to get around the big difference between Form 1 and Form 4 wait times. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Superabound: From what i understand, this is the actual common practice for the PRIVATE sale of an existing SBR, but the issue is whether or not a licenced online dealer would be willing to go the same route. I know plenty of stories of folks removing an SBR from the registry and selling it as normal firearm, but not with the intent for the buyer to then return it to an SBR. The issue for the main thing would be if you remove it from the registry, and then had possession of the barrel and gun at the same time. And of course, even if legal, it'd be up to a dealer if he wanted to do such. Legality wise, it's the same $200 tax, so not tax evasion. As long as you're following all laws, it should be fine. But, of course, engraving for the form1 and stuff. I don't think you're required to get return notice from ATF that it's been delisted, but if I were a dealer I'd certainly do so before selling it as a non-NFA gun, and that might take a few months too. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CJofFL: If you’re referring to the acknowledgment of your correspondence to remove an item for the purview of the NFA, it has previously taken them over a year to acknowledge mine. Yeah, like I said I don't think it is required, but I certainly think a dealer would want it for their NFA records, given inspections. A bit ago, Arms Unlimited had registered Colt 14.5" barrel SBR guns used, for $550ish I think it was. I wanted an upper for an SBR I already had. So I bought it, and was going to have the dealer remove it from the NFA and such then sell the Colt lower. The dealer is a Colt guy, so we bartered since he wanted the SBR for himself. I got a brand new 14.5" upper and some other stuff. So we never did de-NFA the gun, so not sure timeframe on anything.

You'd pay $200 F1/Making rather than $200 F4/Transfer, so no gain or loss, just time difference. |

My wording was off. I know it doesn’t cost anything to remove an item from the registry. It does for another person to re-register as an SBR.

I took a carbine class this weekend and shot my ARX. All I could find to shoot was Barnaul steel case. It was a bit underpowered and I had a couple of failure to extract/double feeds. I bumped up the gas setting and it functioned fine after that with the exception of a failure to extract on the last round of a mag. Otherwise, the gun shot great.

I have noticed the used prices on ARXs have started to rise. These rifles would sell well now in the $1300 range. Hopefully beretta will start up production again.

I haven't heard anywhere that the ARX is discontinued or unavailable to civilians so as far as I know, maybe someone has some insider info. I think production of anything ARX related in America has been completely halted since the Coronavirus broke out. Even spare parts going to Brownells has been really spotty with absolutely ridiculous wait times, almost like spare parts are coming via a very slow boat from Italy... Though I know that all ARX-100 parts are made in America (supposedly). I still have two backordered (for nearly a year now) hexagonal inserts, a few hammer and trigger pins and a couple of right side hammer springs that I need to get... Last time I ordered hammer springs (both left and right) Brownells sent me two left side hammer springs, but one of the bags said right side hammer spring at least.

Wide open lets more gas escape, less recoil. Use for weak ammo or dirty gun. Manual that came with the gun should show you.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By kanewtervalve:Wide open lets more gas escape, less recoil. Use for weak ammo or dirty gun. Manual that came with the gun should show you. Again, this makes no sense to me. No gas escapes on the ARX based on the setting, in one setting it uses the first gas port for a single push to the carrier (normal), in the other setting it allows gas from the second gas port to provide an additional push (adverse). I’m using the normal setting, I described the orientation in my previous post for the least recoil, and relatively speaking it’s harder than most other 5.56 rifles. So, what are you guys talking about?!? |

I can't say I've noticed a huge difference in recoil between my ARXs and my ARs, but I've never really compared them side by side. Though it's important to realize that the ARX is a piston gun and those are known to have a bit more recoil. |

A great deal at $900. An OK deal at $1600, considering the ambi-ness. Mine has been very reliable with brass and steel. It is great as an SBR.

It is very unlikely you are going to find one at $900 these days. That was the going price when distributors were brooming these out. Normal price prior to that was $1400-$1,500. Now with limited availability a NIB is going to go for whatever someone in this crazy market is willing to pay. Good luck in your search.

Not happy with that sale price at all considering others have gone for that WITHOUT a $215 trigger installed and piles of out of stock factory extras, but whatever.

ARX100s are back in stock at a few places... GrabAGun, Tooele Shooting Supplys, and Omaha Outdoors.
So Beretta must still be making them on a limited basis. The bad thing is due to the current environment they're back at their original street price of around $1,600. |
