AR-15 BS Thread

I think I just want a 50 cal machine gun mounted up in the blind to blast pigs with

 

Go with .308 or 6.8 if you HAVE to have something more than 5.56. 6.8 is proven to be utterly nasty on hogs and white tail. .300AAC has proven popular because of the things you don't need to change on a 5.56 gun to run it. Basically its just a barrel, everything else remains the same. Basically from all the tests I've witnessed super sonic .300blk is similar in performance to 7.62X39 and subsonic is like shooting .44mag. Both of those cartridges are much cheaper than .300blk

 

AR10 pistol!

 

I have a friend building a 6.8

 

I'd love to have a SOCOM II! And for 30lb javelinas. 5.56 is more then enough. Not sure what the average hog size is in other parts of the US is but were I'm at the average sow 90ish lbs and bors are every bit of 150 and up.

 

Just finished building an upper for a co-worker!

BCM BFH lightweight barrel
Lantac Dragon 5.56 muzzle brake
Geissele SMR MK5 keymod
Anderson Mfg. Forged upper

 

When in doubt go big!

 

Little family picture. From left to right: my 5.56 3gun rifle, dedicated 22 for the wife to play with, 300blk SBR, backup/truck gun.

It will be very interesting to see how the Sig brace issue plays out now that the ATF has written an opinion that says that shooting one of these from the shoulder constitutes the construction of an SBR. I'm guessing Sig pursues some clarification ASAP.

 

Do you have a link to this info? Never mind...google foo found it We'll have to wait and see.

 

How much was your sig brace??

 

The trouble le is people keep asking. They issued a decision and people keep asking for more. And technically that is a clarification issued to one person only.

 

Someone had to keep poking the bear, and the bear has now awakened. I applaud Sig for marketing the device. It was a good run while it lasted. I never bought one, I would not want to be the test case for it.

The bottom line up front from the memorandums posted below is that by shouldering the brace, the ATF's new opinion is that you are creating ("manufacturing") an SBR. Without a tax stamp, that will land you in the slammer.



Second page, second paragraph from the bottom:

 

Just have to wait and see on the braces. Since there are now two contradicting letters from the ATF. One says its perfectly legal, the other that is not.

Though I see the end of the sig brace. Recent letters on other braces and options have all mentioned not shouldering the brace. I don't think the ATF figured so many people would use the brace as a way around the NFA SBR requirements

 

I have never nor will I ever shoulder my pistols that have the sig braces installed

 

What he said...^^^^

Nor will I. In fact, I've not thought of it until the ATF brought it up again...and again.....

Interesting indeed. Yet, so very obvious that there would be an issue at some point with the brace and ATF. Don't get me wrong but, I guarantee agents at the ATF are still scratching their head wondering how they justified the brace in the first place. Going to be an interesting back pedal. Yet, somehow the ATF always wins.
