if ones gets a pistol parts kit, can you build it on a standard receiver with regular furniture? http://pictures.auctionarms.com/7658120840/948620ad107e7c0c81bbd0fd00d99ceb.jpg?aa=20060609120040 |
| IIRC, any unbuilt receiver can be declared a "pistol" reicever. The rear trunion has to be modified so it can not take a stock or an extension that would readily take a stock. I have seen post were people have there FFL write "pistol" on the transfer paperwork. I wonder if the buffer tube on AR pistols are significantly different then non-pistol buffers. |
Cool kit! I'd like to know more about it too.
Wrong A pistol can go back and forth between pistol and rifle configuration as often as your heart desires. A rifle can't. Just for the record: Rifle configuration = at least 26" total length with a barrel length of at least 16". Not really practical for AKs but AR guys do this all the time. |
I saw that too. front trunnion is all boogered up!!! 
|
Can someone verify that if the receiver is "virgin" (never has a firearm been built on it) it can be built either way. I was personally at a gun shop a guy asked if the FFL holder would mark pistol on the 4473, the FFL said that was not necessary. Anyone else run into this? |
He is correct. A stripped receiver is just that......a stripped receiver. It is not a pistol or a rifle. |
|
Or he could just bend a flat and be done with at all...... And to answer the question. Yes you can built it on a regular reciever...and generally you can use standard furniture given they havent shortened the barrell to the point they moved the gas port back. Which they have. Then you will probably have to buy or make custom foregrips for it....Or just not have a foregrip on it at all. For alot of pistol info gunsnet.net has a pistol forum....lots of cool little pistols there..... |

10 bucks says there is a broken tap in the rear hole. zoomed in it sure looks like it to me. Also telling is the spall marks on the barrel. Looks like he tried doing a screw build first, then broke the tap. Had to push the barrel out with the tap in the hole. You CAN buy a tap remover if that is the case.. Cant imagine they are cheap though..... http://www.waltontools.com/products/extractr.htm C2K |
They kinda look photo shopped to me. Either way it seems a little suspicious
