AR-15 BS Thread

that must be a california thing
here, you can build an AR pistol from a lower as long as it wasn't transferred as a "long gun"

 

I was wondering the same thing

I think you missread (unless its only some crazy CA BS)
Lowers are neither a pistol or rifle until they are assembled. Therefore you can build it either way you want. build it as a rifle, take it apart then build it as a pistol.

 

Just to add a little more to this. "carbine" is refering to the gas tube length.

they sell "carbine", "mid length", and "rifle length" gas systems.

Get this one and dont look back

i think in CA, lowers can only be classified as 'long guns' and IRC they can't be made into 'pistol' form even if its a virgin lower
that whole ATF, once a rifle, always a rifle, thing

 

what he said

 

not sure what the ATF has to do with it unless guns actualy have to be registered in CA?

 

I was checking that one out before i went to bed last night. I will probably end up with that one. Not sure what i am doing for a handguard/rail system. Still have to look at the different options out there.

 

you can always just put a magpul on there untill you get the urge to put a FF rail

 

That is what i was thinking. It would keep the magpul theme too. Ive got the moe stock, grip, mag, and trigger guard.

 

Can a AR pistol be had in NJ?

 

here is your answer

 

No PSA love for an upper?

 

Ive got 2

 

Ive been waiting 20 weeks for a PWS Mk 114. Living in Canada can suck at times.

 

I work at a gun store in CA that specializes in Black Rifles. You cannot DROS a pistol frame in CA, only a complete pistol. So if you go I to a dealer, you can only DROS a lower receiver as an 'other' which goes through the long gun form in the DROS system. The 12% excise tax I spoke of is a tax that California charges to reclassify a gun, ie registering a rifle lower as a pistol. They charge an additional 12% tax on whatever you paid to build your pistol.

California is bullshit.

 

?

 

CA is just a pain in the ass for the gun owners.
Imagine if there was a mass exodus of all the gun owners in that state! It would never happen though so

haha

 

Lol yeah, fùck this place

 

midwest industries makes nice drop-in rails, reasonably priced...
