I've seen this lower available and I am wondering "Why" someone would want one of these ???  As a regular Citizen, it seem's like it could have the potential to be a problem...  Opinions please..... |

Seems to me that that would be an invitation for the police to detain you while they determined if it was in fact government property.

There is plenty of police firearms on the market with NYPD or CPD stamped in on the barrel or receiver. Are they stolen...maybe, but most likely they were sold to a dealer when the department switched to auto or differnt brand of firearm. I personnaly don't see a problem....

So they can build up and sell at gunshow "Genuine Government Issue" rifles.
 Sad part of it is, SOME dummy would buy it. (The spiel, that is..)  Lonny Edit: Many years ago, I saw a Ruger target 22 pistol on a table at a gunshow that had US markings. Probably legitimate, but the hilarious part was the card beside it stating how it was an "experimental model with a lug for a shoulder stock." The so-called "lug" was the takedown latch, partly pulled out. Yeah right. Lonny |

It might sound kinda silly and I still need to see if it would be legal, but I would like to have a Match Target HBARs remarked like the receiver in the pic. It will be a bit different; the pony in the circle will be to the left and the Colt script will be next to it on the right , but I would like have to have the Match Target HBAR markings welded over and have the following engraved:
PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT. M-16A1 CAL. 5.56MM Don’t think it’s going to be a problem, just cost some more money in already expensive projects. It won’t improve the weapon in any way, just raise the cool factor. The receiver is going to be registered as an SBR so I shouldn’t have any problem with the law. That I know of, it’s not illegal to change the name of your weapon to M-16A1 or such; folks have been doing similar things to HK weapons for years.  |

I want one because I like collecting different lowers with different markings.

Autoweapons.com often sells guns with “US Property” marked on them. I would say that it adds about $3,000 to $4,000 to the weapon.

Why? I have no idea? It would be interesting if it really meant something but in this case it doesn't so why people pay more for it is beyond me? The downside (other than cost) is when you get stopped by some dumb cop who arrests you for having stolen\illegal government property. Sure you would get cleared eventually (eventually meaning after spending some time in jail, having you house and cars searched and maybe charged with some other stupid shit while they where at it) so why risk the aggravation for something so meaningless?

I got mine to build into a Memorial to my time working for the Govt. Am having the Agency's crest laser engraved into the side, along with my dates of service. Will probably never shoot the weapon, just leave it to my decendants.

Fulton Armory sells lowers stamped "US Rifle". Don't tell me political correctness now applies to AR lowers?

Our own "Pete-in-NH"(Legal Transfers) has been selling these custom marked RRA lowers on the EE for years. There are many owned by people on this site.

I have several of these Rock River lowers marked U.S. Property. It's only a fewer more dollars then the plain lowers. It's something different. To me U.S. Property doesn't necessarily mean Government Property. I am a US citizen and it's my property

Yup...If it's a RRA it's likely one of Pete's. |
