A new paradox has been discovered... We're going to need Schrödinger for this one, because there's no way that it can be both a Bushmaster, and an HBAR!
I'm in the exact same predicament. I was going to get the M&P 10, but I figured I'd be getting a FF keypad rail and a PRS stock. From what I've read and heard, the M5 is a solid rifle; same goes for the M&P 10. I'd go for the 18" personally. Less weight and shorter length equals better...
Probably my Hi-Point 995. It's fun to shoot, but it's heavy, inaccurate, and fails to feed far too often. Plus the spring loaded recoil pad always pinches my neck upon firing in the prone position.
The Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 P is on the handgun roster. Would there be anything legal stopping me from cutting the barrel down on my 15-22 rifle and slapping on a Sig Brace and it being technically considered a 15-22 P? Or cutting off the faux buffer tube and cutting down the barrel on my rifle...
I don't understand why everyone is being so rude to this guy... What little respect the non-shooting community has for the shooting community will be lost if you all keep acting this way towards people that are trying to get into this great hobby. I agree that it would be discomforting to take...
I've read that you only really lose around 30 fps between a 20" and 18" barrel. In my opinion, a bit less weight and more maneuverability > 30 fps. The M&P 10 is a fantastic rifle, and I'll probably be getting one myself pretty soon.
I'm probably going to put together an HBAR Aero Precision COP Monolithic rifle chambered in 5.56 in the next few months. I'm digging the integrated free floated hand guard on their upper receivers, and they've got some interesting ambidextrous lowers. Maybe if I start reloading, I'll rebuild it...
Given that purchasing lowers in Maryland is legal again, I'm considering putting together an AR-15 styled rifle. I understand we can build pistols and HBAR rifles, so long as the follow the copy-cat rules and blah blah blah. I don't need any explanation on that, as it seems to get brought up...
If you've got an iPhone, there's a great app that finds ranges local to you that shows whether or not they are public or private. I believe it's called "Range Finder". If not, just google "shooting ranges around me", and a map should pop up. I'm not familiar with Southern Maryland, so I can't...
Got it! Thanks! In any case that I would be purchasing a stripped lower, I would ensure that the FFL I would be obtaining it from would mark it as "Other" before anything else. I'm only curious as to what the limitations are in most - if not all circumstances.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but put simply, as long as one were to get a lower - stripped or complete - and made sure that it was transferred from an FFL marked "Other" on form 4473, it could be manufactured into any legal configuration, be it an AR pistol, or an HBAR rifle.
Now, in the...
Fantastic! Could those stripped lowers be built into HBAR rifles? And in the hypothetical case that I did purchase a stripped lower that I got from an FFL, that lower or any legal variant I manufactured it into - be it an AR pistol or HBAR rifle - would it be treated as a regulated firearm or...
