Hello,

I want to import a AR15 with a 14.5 inch barrel but due too the US minimal barrel length law of 16 inch I can only import a AR15 with a welded flash hider.

I want a 14,5 inch barrel so is it possible to remove the longer flash hider and replace it with a stand A2 flash hider?

Thanks.

Do that, and you are just begging to gamble with felony charges...

You must have a "perm attached" phantom or vortex style flash suppressor to make a 14.5 legal.

I ask this because if I could remove the longer flash hider and replace it with a A2 flash hider to make it a original M4 I would import the Colt LE6921. If you can not remove it I would import the Colt LE6920.

So it is legal to do for me. And I can not remove the flash hider I would have the 16 inch barrel cut to 14.5. But a LE6921 it for me the most like a M4 not an altered LE6920.

yes you can.  Do a search around the forum or internet.

Better yet, why don't you just buy a SBR upper that doesn't have the FS permanently fixed.  Bushmaster sells them.
