Hello all , Id really like to build an AR , But im still not sure about what is legal and whats not . So I buy a doj approved Vulcan lower ,with a fixed 10 round mag ,what about the - pistol grip -flash hider - tele stock ? I can have ONE of these things ? OR can I have the "AW" grip and somthing else ? I just have to keep overall length to 30 whatever inches . Sorry to ask what many have asked alredy . Nate EDIT : I just re-read some things , With a fixed 10 round mag , I can have any of the other features ? |
Just remember to keep the max count under 10 rounds. |

AW if - "A semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30 inches." Rimfire -"Under federal law you still must maintain an overall legnth of more than twenty-six inches. The ATF measures overall length with stocks un-folded/un-collapsed." |

| Just remember that IF your barrel is 14.5" and your attachment, of whatever kind, is 1.5" then when they are together it will only be about 15.5" because roughly half an inch or so gets overlapped as it is threaded on. So if when buying an attachment, don't go for the bare minimum in length, but rather look for something roughly half an inch longer. |
Good point! The muzzle attachment I have is one of those 5" "commando" look-a-like flash suppressors. Now, what is the best way to permanently fasten it? Silver solder, weld.....loc-tite? have ETA: Oh man, after reviewing the "flash suppressor review" thread, I'm dropping the cheesy commando wannabe and going with a Vortex. An ad I saw for it says it's 2 .25". That should be just enough to clear the 16" mark. |
