Any AR that has a .750 diameter barrel (from the barrel nut to the muzzle) and meets the 29" OAL requirement, while not having more than one of these features is legal. Flash suppressor, grenade/flare launcher, folding stock. It's incredibly easy to find or build one that's legal. Engage has a massive selection. At least they did when I stopped in a few weeks ago and picked up a new barrel.
Thanks. I would like to see exactly what Engage is offering before I make the hour drive.

Easier said than done because of how Engage operates. They are more than just a shop selling ARs. They will custom make/assemble exactly what you want for a fair price. In other words, turnkey full service.
Wtf. How did I miss that thread? Lol

This. They'll basically make you any AR you want, just with an HBAR.
I was just in there Thursday and commissioned a custom dissy upper build.
Long story short, it's worth the drive
Unfortunately, what I "want" is an unknown esespecially if they're really expecting me to design the gun. Anyone bought the E4 in the linked thread?
Just pick one of the three in the posted picture. Figure out what length barrel you want. It ain't rocket surgery.
This is a decent representation of what you might find on their wall if you decide to make the trip... By the way an hour drive to checkout a gun shop is nothing. Ask me how I know.......

They have tons of built up rifles so you can see what you like!
My point was more that they should be able to accommodate almost any request.
Lots of folks here have their rifles with plenty of good things to say, including the basic rifles!

I drove an hour in snow and ice just to pick up a rifle barrel from them. Friendly guys and they have tons of guns. Worth the drive.

I bought an E4 upper and took it to the range today. It functioned flawlessly. You won't be disappointed and will be hard pressed to find a better value on a new MD legal rifle or upper. Nice guys too. And you get to meet Brutus.

That E4 seems like a solid rifle to me.
While I'd tend to agree that your description, in fact, describes a heavy barrel, can you provide some sort of objective evidence that the same definition is being used by MSP?
I ask, not to be an a$$, but because elsewhere on MDshooters, I've seen that the only hoop is that the barrel maker stamp their barrel with "heavy" "HB" "HBAR" or similar, or that their literature of the barrel describe it as "heavy".
This would seem to be different standard than your otherwise reasonable description of a heavy barrel.
And I'm not sure which is the description that MSP will use if....things are not peachy keen.

edit: I'd like to point out that I'm not questioning Engage's practices; from what I've seen they actually meet both standards: it is at least 0.750" for the entire length and it's stamped HB.
my only question is which of those two is the standard MSP uses.
