First off I want to congratulate everyone on this site. It’s amazing the amount of excellent and detailed information that is here.
My question:
I am planning on building an AR15 soon and would like to know if once built, I need to register the rifle with the BATF? I live in Washington state which is fairly gun friendly. Can I put a 16” barrel, and a telescopic stock on it and be totally legal for as long as I own the rifle?
Second question:
In checking out the build your own step by step, it looks like building an AR15 is easy as putting together an erector set. In fact, much easier than building an AK (which I was quite surprised by). What’s the hardest part?
Last question:
What manufacturers do you guys recommend? Any ones to steer away from?
I am new to this forum and would greatly appreciate any information. Thanks very much.
