My daughter thinks the pink AR is cute. Now she wants one.
Are you sure you don’t mean a Springfield Armory M1A? The M1A1 is a WWII era folding stock M1 carbine, a completely different firearm.
VERY nice setup!!!
The original point and click interface was a Smith and Wesson.
>$954.95 vs $1300<
In your opinion is the cost difference substantiated?
What I was told is that if I wanted to put a fore grip handle on it, it would have to be registered w/ BATFE and I’d have to go through the checks/pay the tax. Not doing so would make it an illegal class 3 any other weapon. As told to me by the class 3 dealer I bought it from. My info is only as good as his.
If the company put together a system that is totally parts interchangable, then do it for less money, they are going to get business.
DS has to fight for some market share, and that is tough enough when you have powerhouses like Armalite and Bushmaster to compete against.
I didn’t ask about installing one. My questions is , “Would possession of a foregrip handle violate any laws?”
Possession of a unregistered silencer is against the law. Installing one on a firearm is a separate violation.
Sorry, I misunderstood.
No, mere possession is quite legal - look at all the ones for sale at CTD, Midway, etc. They are legal to put on rifles, just not pistols. If some BATFE jerk saw you at the range w/ the PLR and an unattached handle in the guncase that the PLR, and only the PLR was in, I can imagine getting quite a hassle tho’.
the basic paint job is no different than adding a camo coat- just do it in pink- then add stickers.
Might have to find a well used AR to experiment on. Like an old Oly that needs help.
Foregrip handles aren’t regulated. But if you had an unused one and a handgun like the PLR that could accept it, the feds might say you have ‘’constructive possession’’ of an SBR. It’s the same logic that lets them bust people for having an AR-15 and certain M16 parts, even if they never install those parts. It’s illegal to have the ability to do something illegal.
It’s dumb, and probably pretty safe since unlike M16 parts there are many guns to which you can legally attach a vertical foregrip. But if the ATF wanted you, I think they could get you.
Gun Club BTT. Having given my Garand to my brother I now have nothing that might scare hell out of Sarah Brady or Josh Sugarmann. OK, I do have an H&K SL-8, but it’s a Californicated piece...with G-3 optics. Hence I NEED an Ugly Gun. Need, not want.
Whoa...OK, now that’s interesting. Naw, I don’t have to worry about California legal anymore. I’m definitely considering something in a .308. Another FReeper let me shoot his Springfield one time and I’ve been thinking about one ever since.
I have the Scout Squad with walnut stock. 18 inch barrel, handy shooter. I’ve had a Nat’l match, but I had to sell it a long time ago to make some payments. Always regretted that.
That AR-10 clone looks pretty, especially with the flat-top carry handle.
