Can i buy an 11.5" Upper, Cut off the Bayo Lug and Perm Attach a 5.5" AK-74 Break? Do i need any Special form (s) to get the 11.5" Barrel? I dont want to break the law but i thought this would look neat and if the Break couldnt come off would it be BATF Approved? Thanks |

Yes, you could certainly do that. But you could also buy the completed setup from Bushmaster in exactly that configuration, so why do that work yourself, and have to refinish the modified parts? Also, be aware that 11.5" barrels don't impart sufficient velocity on FMJ ammo to fragment, which means that they are extremely limited as weapons. In addition, they have extreme blast and flash. -Troy |

With a muzzle brake on the barrel it will be unbearably loud and have a HUGE flash. I would suggest that you either get a pre-ban with a flash hider, or get a 14.5 barrel with the AK style brake. I think that the fmj ammo does reach a sufficient velocity to fragment out of an 11.5" barrel, at least out to around 50 yrds, because i have been researching this for the last few weeks. Once you get down to 9", or so it will lose fragmentation ability right out of the barrel. Hope i have been of some help, and good luck.[:D] |
