Building a lower for an SBR what do I need to know?

I know I am a little late to the party here, but with the utility of the SIG Arm Brace, there is really no need to do SBR anymore (unless you just really need an adjustable stock.)

 

I have a pistol marked lower with a SIG Arm Brace, and run my 10.5" 300AAC Black Out upper or my 8.5" 7.62x39 upper. With either one, I run my 7.62 YHM QD suppressor. I also run a heavy buffer because of the suppressor. It is nice and compact, and does not require any registration. I can switch stuff around however I like without any thought of breaking a stupid law.

 

(The QD suppressor is really nice when you run a QD FH or Comp on all of your rifles like I do.)

Unless you can't have a pistol but can have a rifle. Plus I prefer a real stock any day of the week, and a foregrip

 

Sure, who doesn't? I just don't like even more registration. Of course, if I lived somewhere that pistols were not allowed, I would move...and it would not be the first time.

Easy to say when you don't live in California... for some it's just too hard to pull out from a half million dollar home, a job that pays a whole hell of a lot for doing very little, year around 75° weather, the ability to visit the snow/beach/desert/plains/mountains/city for a 1-2 hour drive. Have you tried our sushi? Not to mention colleges/education, more pro teams than most states combined, and ... you've seen our women, right? The song is called "California Girls" for a reason.

So we have shitty gun laws, have to wear motorcycle helmets, and can't talk on cell phones while driving... While there are a few of us on the fence about leaving, understand that it is a very high and long fence, that will take quite a bit before one goes over.

Born and raised in Texas. I moved to California when I graduated high school. I know exactly what you are talking about. Snowboard in the morning, destert race in the afternoon, and surf in the evening; big job, big pay, big house, fine women, blah, blah, blah. Been there, done that, got the tee-shirt, left the state and the woman behind.

 

I didn't really find it that hard to do (except for breaking down in the middle of the Mojave 50 miles out of Barstow on my way out and CHP wouldn't even call me a tow.) I even tried it again after military service, and that only lasted nine months before I had to divorce the state once and for all. Now I have a better job, better pay, better home, and far better woman.

 

So yes, it is easy for me to say because I have done it more than once, and not just with California. I had to divorce South Carolina and Virginia as well. The Florida and Alaska divorces were forced on me, so I will be back. Like I said, I would move.

 

Who's Katy Perry?

What's the law say about putting a foregrip on an ar pistol? I've heard it's a no go, but I 've also heard an angled foregrip is ok but not a vertical one? 

A forward grip on a pistol alters the weapon, and one must obtain a $5 AOW (Any Other Weapon) stamp. Therefor it becomes registered and must go through an FFL for transfers. The Magpul AFG is not considered a forward grip by the BATFE.

BATFE recognized that the AFG is NOT considered a "vertical foregrip". So pistols are okay to wear them.

If your OAL is less than 27" then no vert grips without the AOW. If it's over 27", then your firearm is no longer a pistol or a rifle, it is just a firearm... thereby allowing vert grips again.

Did that make sense?

Ps. I would bang Katy into a coma, dislocating both hips and leaving her permanently blind in one eye with a facial palsy that caused her to drool when she spoke. THEN, when I'm done, I'll crush a bottle of viagra into dust, snorting lines like Tony Montana, as I create reenactments of the event, until im so dehydrated that all I'm shooting is spinal fluid.

Good grief, I'd like to laugh but right now I'm cursing you for the images in my head.
