Either the lower receiver must be a pre-86 transferable OR the sear must be. Possible sear options are registered lighting links and registered drop in auto sears. With the sears they are the machine gun and the AR is the host, as host it can also have a <16" barrel and use M16 parts (may...

I know US parts count on a SBR is a grey area as it depends on who you ask but when converting that little AK in your OP to a SBR I'd likely go ahead and add the parts. Part #1 - Pistol grip looks like a US one and they're cheap if it isn't. Plus there are nicer options out there. Parts 2, 3...

I would imagine a prepaid VISA type card would work as well if you don't want to put your Debit card out there. And after you see how, nice word buggy, the e-forms and pay.gov sites are you might consider this... or getting a CC with fraud protection just for tax stamps.

Short & sweet - if the <16" barrel and suppressor are "permanently" attached, and the overall length is >16", measured from the bolt face, then the barrel can not turn the rifle into a SBR, unless the over all length of the entire rifle becomes <26" w/ stock fully extended if applicable. The...

Depends, it's usually stamped somewhere on the receiver unless it was a early import. I've seen them with no markings except for the importer, like with early pre-89 B-west imports. Factory markings may help, but they are covered in the pic. I have seen them with no factory marking save for a...

Just pointing out the reasons they aren't as popular. I'm not saying I wouldn't own one but just not at the premium prices asked for; even quality clones are expensive. ETA: reason #5 HK - because you suck and we hate you ;)

Best bang for buck for shear volume (price per round) is 5.45x39. Runner up is 7.62x39 and then .223/5.56 NATO. This is where you go for high volume stuff like plinking and practice. Best bang for buck for flexibility (price vs. abilities) is .223/5.56 NATO. Runner up is .308/7.62 NATO; yes...

I don't know of a 6925, they do have a 6520 and 6521 which is basically a 6920 with either a heavy barrel or A1 profile barrel. There is also a LE6900 which isn't actually made by Colt and most people just say stay away. Change #1: they went to standard FCG pins several years ago Change...

You can only special order what's in the catalog as the UPC must be "on file" in the store. Also the AR must be in stock at the distributor and ordered with a PO (lay-a-way direct ordering with Sports South has been down for a year), good luck with that... I haven't try ammo again since December...

It's like this: 1) Armalite designs the AR-10 around the 7.62 NATO cartridge using the latest in aerospace tech. They also work on a design that is better able to manage recoil despite the lighter weight. The AR-10 evolved and parts where redesigned for better usability and beefed up where...

I hate to bring this up but doesn't the .25 WSSM have a HUGE case head? Basically the bolt size required makes the extension too thin (uses a 5.56 upper); there were pics of one on AR15.com that shear the entire locking lug part of the barrel extension off. Yes, all 8 lugs, in a perfect ring...

I don't see how. There's a polymer tip on the buffer already. The buffer tube (extension) is what takes the blow in an over gassed/under buffered AR, not the lower. It *may* reduce felt recoil but doesn't do anything to solve the other issues of over gassing/under buffing, like BCG velocity...

The sales clerk is full of it. The DCs have NOTHING to ship; they're out just like everybody else. Manual orders are turned off because of the above reason. This happens all the time with high demand items with extremely limited supply, it also serves to keep associates like me from ordering...

You almost had it until you got to 1/7 twist making the bullet too stable... That is IMPOSSIBLE, the number of rpm to stabilize a bullet in fluid (flesh) is too high. Testing in ballistic gel using different twist rates confirms it. The velocity to induce fragmentation remains about 2700 fps...

That's because you haven't tried to order one since Remington moved them to NY. There's a reason a lot of vendors gave up carrying BM 20" .gov barrels: Remington focused on the M4 style barrel and "can't find a supplier" for 20" .gov barrels. There are people still waiting after placing their...

It's the adapter to use regular 5.56 uppers and mags with the lower.

PCC is quieter than a 5.56 AR at equal barrel lengths and since pistol ammo is designed to work at lower velocities in short barrels, their effectiveness doesn't suffer like some 5.56 in SBRs (sub-14.5" barrels). Many PCC can use subsonic ammo and reduce the noise even more. Throw a suppressor...

I sat on the stupid thing too long before I got to medaling with it. Luckily it was cheap. I gave it to a friend to tinker with, he replaced the FSB and polished the chamber and last I heard from him it ran ok. He never said what groups he was getting though.

OK, I got you a lead on a A2 barrel, chrome lined, 1:7 twist with FSB installed if you want one right now. Brownells has the High Standards in stock. My issue(s) with mine were: 1) FSB used straight pins instead of tapered; they were unfinished and rough (burs and the pin were in the white). 2)...

20" A2 profile barrels just aren't as popular (read don't sale as many) as the "cool" M4 profile barrels. You're going to have to do some work to find one. Some of the options if you gotta have it right now are: 1) find a FN surplus A2 barrel on gunbroker, etc. 2) over pay for a NOS Colt A2...
