Let's talk guns

So the lowers for the ar15s that I'm seeing on here, do they have selector switches for semi and full auto?

They have the markings, but the selector only goes between safe and single fire. To get full auto:
1. Apply for NFA tax stamp (its $200, takes 6 months, and you probably won't get it for full auto, but you can for a suppressor)
2. Then you can get the lower kit for full auto
3. And then get a full auto BCG unless your AR already came with one (some do, some don't)

Sorry if it's a dumb question but I just got my first ar a few months ago and would like some more info on building them. I would like to learn how to build my own as well as learn mods and maintaining my own. I read the manual but it only goes so far.

ar15.com is a very helpful site. just beware of the egos and bias opinions there and you'll find a wealth of info.

They also have some out there that say frenzy.

As far as I know It's almost impossible to buy a full auto ar.

The only way to buy a full auto ar is if it was made in the 80's

Another way is to buy an internal part which is like 2 G's

 

[28003]

no one will sell you the post-ban full auto internal parts (in the lower receiver) without the tax stamp as it is illegal to own it and illegal for them to sell it

 

[28003]

btw, possessing a post-ban full auto w/o the stamp is "tax evasion". and they will put you in federal "pound-me-in-the-ass" prison for 10 years, fine you from $100,000-$250,000 and you will never be able to legally own a firearm again.
if you really want full-auto, become a LEO








.....or wait til the zombie apocalypse and steal one

New to my collection is a Smith and Wesson 40 caliber and a extreme ops switchblade. Best Christmas presents I have gotten from my parents ever.

This is what I'm rocking right now. 12 gauge shotgun, AR-15, steyr m9 and a .357. I keep the m9 and shotgun loaded for home defense. I often carry the m9 as well. The AR is for the zombie apocalypse, a foreign invasion of some sort or for when we need to organize the Buell Militia. Whatever comes first.

Owning a legal full auto takes a lengthy back ground check and a lot of money these days. It's been illegal to manufacture any full auto's for the civilian market since 1986. If your looking for a cheaper registered lower, lightning link, or DIAS your probably going to spend $9,500-$12,500. You can buy a lower or a semi auto ar 15 rifle with the full auto engraving, but all it is is a mark. Registered Colt M16 (non conversion) type guns fetch a premium.
POF FA Engraved lower(semi marked FA):

Colt Registered Reciever M16 w/pof upper(LEGAL FA):

If your new to firearms it's best to ask questions or read up on what is legal (by state too). You don't want to break any laws you don't know about.

Note: Even though I have a type 7 FFL Title 2 auto's are regulated by the IRS not the ATF and have different rules and laws. I cannot manufacture full auto AR's or any other full auto weapons with the license I have.

All this gun talk has me on the hunt.

Got into looking but thus far I want the shorter barrel, maybe an red dot sight but I prefer Iron sights, so I will save some cash there[smirk], otherwise I want the full rail system, and short stock. I have to check the laws to see about how short I can go with the barrel, but I know I would be good for 500yrds with a 14.5in barrel but would like to go as short as possible since I wont be shooting that far often at all.

I have to look into lower and uppers to see what all is the best bang, I know how to strip it down in seconds but not a clue on prices and who or where to buy from.


In all reality I am looking into something along these lines.

This was my setup with my M4 in Iraq, very effective[up]

Then I gave my M4 to one of my guys and opted for the A4 since I was a better shot out at the 600-800yrd mark and the M4 just wasn't as accurate touching out that far. Here I am with that (Not playing dress up, fooling the local bad guys into thinking I was an Iraqi Interpreter, actually scared the hell out of them).

xtremelow, you can get a 14.5" barrel with a permanently installed flash hider of at least 1.5" and you'd be good to go.

As for price, shopping at Palmetto Armory you could build a complete lower for ~$160, and you would most likely spend at least another $800 for the upper.

 

[28003]

you could always go the Model1 or Del-ton route:

they offer complete kits where all you have to do is find a stripped lower and you're set

 

[xtremelow]

I am going to stop by a couple local gun shops just to look at some setups and dig at their brains, I know a gun shop real close to me the guy has an AR with like a 10.5" barrel looks badass but he said you had to have some special license in MI to own it. I don't want to have to jump hoops to own anything just register it and be set.

So many damn choice on everything. Guess that is what this poster is all about.

wiznut: Check your finger. Enjoy the new pistol.

wiznut: Check your finger

Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you intend to fire..... Must be having some second thoughts

 

[turbosvt]

Anything under 16" in barrel length and you will need to pay/file a $200 tax stamp for an SBR. It's not that big of a deal depending on your state. You would be shocked at how accurate some of the shorter barreled AR's are these days (I'm not talking 600 yards). I can't believe some of the groups guys are getting from 10" barrels at 100 yards. You can really build a nice AR to your specs for $1,000 or less if you really shop around. It all depends how crazy you want to go. One of my favorite ar's I've ever owned was built on a budget.

Keep your booger hook off the bang switch!
