First off, thanks for looking as always [:)]

My father is the chief of a small rural PD here in NH, and like most small agencies his is underfunded. Over the years I have donated a Benelli shotgun and frequently loan my ARs to his troops to use as patrol rifles.

After reading the do-it-yourself forum here I realized that I could build an AR and save myself quite a bit of money. I'm kicking around the idea of building four basic Rock River Arms 16" A2 carbines and donating them to my father's PD. Before I begin I have a few questions:

-Can I put six-position collapsibles on postban receivers if I intend to immediately donate the finished weapons to a LE agency? ***(NO. You cannot be in possesion of an illegally configured weapon at any time. LE personnel must present a letter from their agency to purchase a new [post AWB] rifle with banned features)***

-What about preban uppers?***(NO, not on a post ban with a pistol grip, if the preban upper has a flash hider or bayonet lug. you may not have more than one banned feature on a post ban rifle)***

It looks like I can build a complete 16" A2 carbine for around $625 with a six position collapsible using RRA parts. This is quite a bit cheaper than a complete Colt or RRA LE carbine.(***No collapsible stock on a postban with a pistol grip. that is a felony offense)***

Once I get [b]that[/b] all figured out I'd like to aquire a few stripped lowers and parts kits for my own personal use. Ideally I'd like to have a few completed lowers waiting for the AWB to sunset, and then I'll install collapsible stocks and preban uppers on those too. ***(up to you, but having preban parts with postban ARs ONLY on the same premises could be interpreted by BATF as having an illegal rifle in knockdown condtition-still illegal if you are caught)***

Is it legal for me to have preban stocks and uppers on hand for my own personal use as long as I [b]don't[/b] install them on the postban receivers until after the ban sunsets?***(see above)***

If it makes a difference I do have two preban Colts in my collection. I thought I remembered reading somewhere once that having the parts is considered intent to build by the ATFE-is this true?***(If you have preban AR15s you can keep spare parts for these as long as they are not installed on a postban)***

Whatever I end up doing I want to make sure I'm not breaking the law. That's the last thing I need.

Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for the long winded post.

I answered your questions in the previous post, I just inserted them in the text. (just being lazy)

In light of this info the easiest way to do this might be to simply have the old man order the parts on company letterhead, then I'll send a certified check for payment.
