Title: AR Build
Post by: KingtheZJ on January 24, 2013, 09:23:24 AM: Anyone know anything about ARs? good lord they have a shit ton of parts

So far i have:
Bushmaster forged lower
AAOK Flat top A4 upper
AR-Stoner BCG

I'm thinking ill do a 20" bull barrel thanks to the new shit about threaded barrels and muzzle brakes. I'm thinking a 16" is 16" total and would not be legal if I chopped it at the threads and had it crowned.

I'm not registering it so it cant have a "pistol grip that protrudes from the gun" so i'll be using this

I know, I know. Great time to build one ::)

thats an awesome grip. love it.

not sure if serious....

its an ok compromise. i'm sure it wont feel as good as the regular vertical grip, but i'll live with it and I like how it looks.

shit, its out of stock....

Post by: KingtheZJ on January 24, 2013, 12:05:35 PM: apparently wrapping the grip in one of these so you cannot put your thumb behind the grip is acceptable...in CA that is.

well isnt this whole thing just fawking stupid...

Post by: wnyjpgy on January 24, 2013, 03:06:51 PM: I'm in a similar barrel dilemma.

Rock River doesn't make a non-threaded barrel until you get into the bull barrel/varmint barrel line.

Looks like I'm going to buy a complete upper with a stainless varmint barrel to stay legal.

Interesting grip link as well.

this shows as in stock.

as i see it i have 3 options.
1. bull barrel
2. using a 16" threaded barrel and welding on a flash suppressor that has been cut to the end of the barrel. but i think that would probably look stupid.
3. taking a 20" threaded barrel and chopping it somewhere behind the threads and getting it re crowned.

cheapest seems to be option 1

Sadly I'm actually working on a deal to sell my parts off otherwise I'd offer it to you. If it falls through though I'll let you know. Only has 600 rounds through it.

Well the threaded barrels are already illegal in NY. You are allowed to have a muzzle break but it must be pinned and welded so it is not removable. Chances this all gets reversed? pretty darn slim IMO

I'm holding out hope for this.

Post by: M on January 25, 2013, 12:55:43 AM: I have six of them. I'd be glad to help out with any function issues or questions. I do not know what's legal in NY or not (since I live in Georgia), so I'm not going to be involved with that.

Post by: M on January 25, 2013, 12:57:38 AM: btw, if anyone has an upper for sale, I'm looking for one. Would absolutely love to have a 20" A2 with triangle handguards.

Post by: mr.mindless on January 25, 2013, 08:33:56 AM: I hold out hope that the courts find at least portions of this unconstitutional but I doubt it will all be fully reversed. The old NY and CA restrictions have passed scrutiny...

Thanks, I expect I will be taking you up on this.

These parts are taking forever to get here!
