Heres the little story. I could post the emails if wanted/needed. I am planning to build a pistol from a new reciever registered as a pistol (blah blah blah) I was going to order the "Kitty kat" upper(7.5inch barrel A2 type) from DPMSINC.com. There was a little note saying "Class 3 only please" on their page. I figured that this was because they didn't change their page over to the "non-ban" page. I emailed them an inquiry about purchasing that upper. Their reply was that they would be happy to sell me one, providing I send them a copy of my Class 3 license, or my SBR permit. I sent them a reply stating that it was not a pistol that required a class 3 license, nor a SBR permit. I thoroughly explained my position and intent in my last email. Considering that was two days ago, and they responded to the first one in under 24 hours, I belive I have been brushed off. There is a consolation though I think. Florida gun works has an ad for the identical item, and its a couple hundred dollars cheaper. Having one DPMS rifle that shoots a 5shot .38" group at 100yards I was interested very much in their shorter assembly. Apperantly, I'll have to buy the other. Again, I'll post the emails if requested. Major disappointment.
