Is barrel on upper receiver MD compliant

mikem623 · Oct 7, 2021

Know that this question has been asked a thousand times.Bought a build kit from 80 lower jig. Upper was completely assembled. The advertisement and bill of sale both say heavy barrel. When the kit was received the barrel has the following stamped on it: .223 WYLDE 1x8 twist SS.. It doesn't say heavy or hbar. Is it still legal?

My understanding is that if it is advertised by the manufacturer as heavy then you are gtg.

Marked or marketed as heavy barrel.

Most barrels in my observation are not marked, just marketed.

to quote the thread:

If the maker advertises it as HBAR or Heavy in any of its literature you are good to go. Print out a copy of the specifications for your files should anyone ask. A Heavy Bull or Varmint barrel can qualify if they say "Heavy" in the description. As to parts, doesn't matter if it is a pre-assembled upper kit with an LPK and stock or you source the parts yourself.

You need to dig around and see how the product is described. Then again right now finding parts is a challenge.

It was marketed as a HEAVY Barrel.

For those looking to build, the kit came from 80lowerjig.com. Came with everything but lower receiver. Cost $399. Took 4 days to get here. Bought Forged Lower thru Daytona Tactical Approx. $76 (included Engraving)

$399 doesnt include the BCG, right? This one? https://www.80lowerjig.com/products...s-barrel-1-8-twist-12-m-lok-angled-handguard/

Yes it does. It was a misprint in the kit description. That is what their representative told me. Bought 2 kits ; got 2 BCG's

Just make sure you save the ad or listing to CYA.

This is definitely a best practice, although I’d bet for farm you’ll never need it.

Enjoy your new build.

Boy they didn't last long. Went there today to buy one for my son and they were GONE!

mikem623 · Oct 9, 2021

This Kit sure did not last long. Went there today to buy one for my son and they were sold out. Guess he should have made his mind up earlier.

Adding to this conversation. I purchased a Faxon pencil barrel that I want to swap out for my HBAR (~2014). I have no receipts. Can I do this?

No, it needs to be on a lower that was owned by you prior to 10/1/13

Yup, or else you go the free men don’t ask permission route…

Could you just engrave HBAR on the barrel and be done with it?

Except it is…

Although definitely a grey area I’m not sure I’d want to mess with.
