You just have to follow your State and Federal laws for a long gun. Federal law is 18. I imagine your state law is the same.

18 years old most places, though my first gun wasn't an AR it was a POS 7.7mm Arisaka that had been bubbatized, but it was only $ 50 with 10 rounds of reloaded ammo.

The ban never stood in your way. You could have gotten a new one all along before the ban sunset, if you could live with a fixed stock, no flash hider, and no bayonet lug. Those are three features that DON'T increase accuracy or affect the rifle's reliability. It's cool to have those features so the rifle looks exactly right, but when you're shooting....who really cares?
The ban wasn't a factor if you just wanted to shoot a military style semi-automatic rifle. CJ |

Make sure you request the chromed bore/chamber for the extra $40. It will be worth it. Trust me. |

DPMS is a good company and they make a fine rifle. Ditto on the chrome bore/chamber...

Kidding, Get an AR if your 18 and your state law premits it. |

Uhhh... I dont think so. The SUM (Stainless Ultra Match) barrel is a SAAMI spec chamber, stainless steel, and is NOT chrome lined. |

Never mind. I get what you're saying.
Having a rifle without the cool parts is way better than having no rifle at all. |

I'm assuming you're getting the PCR-3 in which case a couple things. 1. Oly does not chrome lines their barrels (that means chamber and bore) 2. I am pretty sure Oly still does not threat their SUM barrels because they are "varmint" style barrels designed for target shooting, not combat 3. The PCR-3 comes with a 4-5 lbs. trigger. Try it out first before you ask for a two stage. 4. By tight are you mean like screwed on tight or in the slang sense? Both parts where you mention "tight" require at least some part to be screwed on for them to be attached. 5. Try the Oly MASS BUIS. They're a similar design to the MAD and about $50 cheaper if you get the set. Now for my "responsibility" lecture. If you're under 18, don't try to go out and buy your gun without your parents. Wait the two years or so and buy one for yourself legally. Also, make sure someone over 18 is with you at the range. The last thing you want is a federal weapons charge if you ever get caught with one because if you're convicted, you'll probably have a really hard time owning a gun again. |

i am 18, i dident know if it was 21 or 18
i mean not over tightened (hand tight) tight means with the item mango mentioned i forgot what it was too lazy to go find it. i dident know that chamber and barrel couldent be treated sepreatly i dident want the barrel chromlined Having a rifle without the cool parts is way better than having no rifle at all. i wanted to just wait a year or 2 so i wouldent have to pay extra to have my barrel threaded(and risk losing accuracy) and stock removed to buy a new one |

Oly does thread SUM barrels. They also put a lot of 1/8 barrels on their M4s, even though they are 16" stainless. Hell, they will do custom barrels too.
When my buddy was cutting barrels down at Oly, they were running late on an order of POS plinkers. So they threw every barrel they had in the shop on them. Some were SUM barrels

Ryu, Colt chrome lines some barrels chamber only. I don't know of anyone else doing this. your barrel, if threaded, will come with a flash suppressor. Leave it at the factory torque specs. You want it more than hand tight, so it doesnt come off. I reccomend replacement with a Vortex or Phantom anyway. This shouldn't harm accuracy, no matter what is used on th end.

18 in MS and most states
21 for all handguns in all states ( i think) |

Most states require you be 21 to purchase a handgun privately, federal law requires you to be 21 to purchase from an FFL, 18 for private sale. Almost all states have no laws concerning the AR to be different from any otehr rifle. |

Not trying to be an ass, but do us a favor check your spell and pay a little more attention for repeating typo, like 'dosent, dident, couldent, wouldent etc'. Soon or later someone would make fun of you. Just FYI.

Find one you like in the paper or at a gun show and fork over the cash. Not much to it. Check your state law first though. TN ought to be OK with it though. |

Thanks sir! I will be attending the Gun-A-Rama Oct 9/10 in Nashville... I was planning on purchasing a Bushy M4, but now that I know the minimum is 18 I think I'll hold off for a bit. I wasn't too familar on the legal age restrictions concerning handguns because the law seems rather fuzzy on the topic of private sales. Well, thanks for the info!

I can't tell if you are looking to get a target rifle or a back woods blaster I would buy a blaster first like maybe the car-97 or the pcr-5 type rifle and then buy a K6 Ultramatch upper or a ultra match rifle any of those set ups would be killer
SUM barrels are stainless so that means no chrome. from olyarms ULTRAMATCH BARRELS These barrels are our most accurate barrels, and quite frankly, these are the most accurate AR-15 barrels on the market. These barrels have Broach-cut Rifling. What is that you say? Well, broaching is the method used to create the lands and grooves. For these barrels, we use the stamping "SUM" which means Stainless Ultra Match. SUM barrels are all chambered with minimum SAAMI 223 Remington reamers. These barrels can also be identified by looking down the bore. All of our broach-cut or Ultramatch barrels have only 4 lands and 4 grooves. FYI you mofo's who are worried about grammar and spelling I say write it down in your diary and keep that shit to yourself. No one cares or should care if there is a typo, and you are an ass if you bring it up. Oh unless it is a funny typo then fine but didnet or ill isn't funny(well it is a little funny). One more thing it is spelling not spell and "pay a little more attention for repeating typo" WTF mate? How lame is it to talk about spelling in a gun forum? totally lame for this go to a spelling forum please for the love of god man. Oh crap I thereallkiller am lame I just wrote about spelling and I can't frickin spell for shit ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 18 to buy a long gun 21 to buy a hand gun private sales and/or ownership for persons under 18 with parental consent at least in my state I got my first gun at about 6. I bought my first handgun at 18 now someone make fun of me for something I misspelled or a typo so I can laugh at myself  |
