Turn that gas block around the other way - is it drilled (for the tube) all the way through?

That example - it's not an SBR upper, it's just an upper that's not wearing a 16" barrel. Just a shorter barrel. Is that an SBR upper, or is that a pistol upper? You can now have one lower, a +16" upper, and a less-than-16" upper, all together. ATF Ruling 2011-4 stated that. http://www.atf.gov/regulations-rulings/rulings/atf-rulings/atf-ruling-2011-4.pdf http://308ar.com/forum/firearm-industry-news-and-gossip/atf-ruling-2011-4-concerning-ar-pistols-and-rifles/ http://308ar.com/forum/firearm-industry-news-and-gossip/atf-ruling-2011-4-concerning-ar-pistols-and-rifles/ As soon as they permitted the individual to build a pistol (first action), and allowed you to turn in into a rifle (that part is not new), and then revert that firearm back to a pistol (this is new). As long as it was a pistol build first, it can go to rifle configuration, and back to a pistol again. Back and forth. A person can accomplish that with one built lower, two uppers, but with two receiver extension options. Buttstock and pistol config. Perfectly legal. What would they say if you have the lower assembled with the buttstock, and both uppers loose in the safe? Don't know. Legally, can you do that? Yes, per their ruling. Better have that pistol receiver extension close by, too, though. A short upper is not an SBR. It's just an upper with a barrel less than 16". Putting it onto a rifle-config lower, without a stamp - that's the crime. Not assembling it onto a rifle-config lower, is the key. Only put it on a pistol lower if you don't have the SBR tax stamp. With my pistol build, I locked it up with all the other rifles. Not worried at all about storing it that way. It stayed together as a pistol. I even had a spare upper for it. I kept them together - complete pistol with spare pistol upper. Those weren't SBRs, not in the least.

Mike, I would definitely say that's the Doublestar logo... <thumbsup> (Pssss... watch out for Robo... just sayin'... :cookoo:) <laughs>

You're an AZ guy - you get no slack... <dontknow> ;D :wwop:

This is probably the offender in the mate-up. Barrel threads are pretty much standard, at this point.

Is your YouTube handle really Ezekial 25:17?!... I had to ask, after watching that. <dontknow>

That's some kind of flaming pterodactyl, or something... :o That thing ain't a moose!

Couple questions - why post that in the Mega section? Are you using it on a Mega build? Are you building a 5.56 gun or a .308 AR gun? Use the appropriate one for what you're building. There are differences - big differences - in those two bolt catches.

This topic has been moved to .308AR Parts. [iurl]http://308ar.com/forum/index.php?topic=2922.0[/iurl]

CalGuns message board might be able to help you out - they'll know before anyone else. Great community. <thumbsup>

Dime and washer drills... old Army thing. Place the front of the gun on a rest, and have someone (shooting buddy in Army Basic) balance a dime or washer on the barrel. Pull the trigger. If the dime or washer falls off, you fail. Practice until you can pull the trigger smoothly enough that the dime or washer doesn't fall off the barrel. Troops train all the time, with the heavy-ass trigger pull of a military issued weapon, to accomplish that task. They pass. They must, continually, pass, before shooting BRM... It works.

These two bills are not just random attacks on your rights! They have been carefully drafted and coordinated by some of the Chicago Machine’s most ardent gun grabbers to include: Rep. Edward Acevedo; Rep. Ann Williams; Rep. Greg Harris; Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie; Rep. Karen May; Rep. Carol Sente; Rep. Deborah Mell (Blago’s sister-in-law); and Rep. Marlow Colvin. Those people need to be voted out of office at the next possible chance - pass that to all voters that can have an impact on those elections.

New York is not a friendly state to move ANY kind of firearms business to. Just my speculation... :o <dontknow> All this is definitely intentional. What the "intentions" really are is a Big Fat Mystery. :-[

Pics?

That buttstock is a beast. I love it. <thumbsup>

Again, not true - you have to have more than a selector and disconnector to make it run FA. Those parts do not equal "machine gun."

Fulton Armory. Chrome BCG complete $365. Stripped upper $225.

With an 80% on the way, does this budget not include the lower?... You're gonna be $500 into a barrel and BCG, and that's at good prices. Just sayin'...

The midlength MOE, maybe. You can't fit a rifle-length handguard and the front sight into a 14.5" barrel - it comes up too short, when you're trying to get a Dissipator look to it. Gotta be a 16" barrel. Here's how my .45 AR turned out with the rifle-length MOE and the clamp-on front sight base - it's almost right at the end of the barrel:

Ditto.

:wwop: <lmao> <munch>

Haven't hit that up - didn't even know about it. I'll definitely look into it, though. <thumbsup>

I love it, Robo - this one is gonna be nice. Not like the other one isn't - you know what I mean... :o <laughs> When I finally get off my ass with my 300BLK, I'll be setting it up on Mega billet upper and lower, and making it look like a Mod 0 SPR. <thumbsup>

It's the UBR. It was introduced as an AR15 part, but it works on the larger format guns (works pretty well). I'm running one on a 5.56 16" midlength:
