cheers all
here's another of my AR builds. it started life as a cut down AR-7. barrels away having a custom suppressor made, as the barrel was only about 5" long it falls under the NZ law requirements for total rifle length. stock is off a ruger sr-22 its the non collapsible version. http://iforce.co.nz/i/gzxwbgsx.joy.jpg |

there is actually very low levels of crimes involving firearms, this doesn't stop the political correctness brigade stamping down on the gun owners.
simply: any firearm of a sporting/hunting configuration (semi-auto's with 7 round mag max) or shotgun longer than 30" is classed as an "A" category firearm, "A" requires a basic background search and safe lockable storage for it to get a licence, then you can purchase as many as you want. the following classes require a 1/4" thick safe any pistol of 4" barrel or longer with adjustable sights can be classed as a "B" category, this is for pistol club shooting only and there is a limit of 10 on your licence any firearm can be put on a "C" collectors, this is most common for collectors of large numbers of pistols/ machine-guns etc. any full auto firearms are required to be on "C" licence. any firearms on a "C" licence are not legally allowed to be used/fired "D" licence is a dealers licence "E" licence is for military style semi-automatics of 30" or longer with mag capacity of 8 up the current problem is they are redefining the rules/requirements for "E" meaning any AR-15's in any configuration are now "E" |

http://iforce.co.nz/i/qr5sx2cn.cum.jpg http://iforce.co.nz/i/5i4je5wc.h30.jpg the new flash suppressor fitted and the delta ring assembled, also an original sling added for good measure. the main mission now is to purchased a nice lower to complete the build. also just purchased an original m7 bayonet that returned to New Zealand with an artilleryman after his tour in vietnam with the 161 Battery on a side note there are two M16A1 rifles up for auction here in two weeks, i might just have to make a nibble bid on those. |

Welcome to the board and have fun with that new build! cheers it has been fun so far have tracked down an NZ made lower, just have to pick it up this week. also purchased a spikes tactical "pirate" ejection port cover, as im in the Royal New Zealand Navy, i figure it will be good for a few laughs at the range. |

I'd have moved back a LONG time ago if it weren't for the firearm restrictions. Still might... Grandad was a ANZAC Gallipolli survivor and a long time club shooter. One of my cousins ended up with his trophies and medals... since sold, much to the rest of the family's anger.
Great builds, I admire your tenacity. |

Funny, my cousin was USN.
had a clean up of the front sight to remove flashing and the bayonet lug. Also tracked down a dpms slip over xm177 flash suppressor, its fractionally too long and touches the front sight, but that can be easily fixed on the lathe, this will also bring it down to a better overall length as it looks a little bit too much like an over barrel suppressor for my liking. Just need to clean a few bits up before phosphating. http://iforce.co.nz/i/jqwussz5.l0h.jpg http://iforce.co.nz/i/1mmbqsvw.1lu.jpg http://iforce.co.nz/i/e51ybni5.eoc.jpg |
