    I have a question. I recently purchased a virgin lower. Built it into a pistol with a 10.5 inch barrel, kak blade, etc. Now, I recently purchased a 450 bushmaster upper. I want to test the new upper and want to know if I can legally install the rifle upper on my lower with the pistol buffer/blade. Only to function test a few shots through the upper. I can’t imagine the blade being too comfy with the added grunt of the bigger cartridge. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Yes it's legal, but I bet that"ll hurt.

    You can put a stock on it as well, as long as you change the stock back to the blade prior to putting on the 10.5" upper.

    Since it was built as a pistol first, you can change it from pistol to rifle and back again.

    Do you have an adjustable buffer tube? Will a regular buttstock fit or is your blade fixed?


    It’s a round buffer tube with no usual ridge that standard tubes have. It has a few dimples for set screw adjustments for the blade. A stock would slide over it, but no way to lock it in place without the usual adjustment holes.
