They didn't seem to care with any of their other "interpretations", like pistol braces and bump stocks.
I think that due to the ATF's lack of success in recent court cases, their gloves are coming off.

The ATF is banning importation of "rifles" in "pistol" format. That means, no more military style firearms are going to be allowed into this country by being called a pistol with the stock removed. Also, existing imported firearms that are unclassified as "pistols" and weren't previously...
Yes, that is correct. Rather than Surefire type that funnel into a standard magazine well, these are larger all the way to the top. The magazines will only fit in the Desert Tech lower. Regular magazines will fit in the Desert Tech lower, but only with an adaptor that is sold separately.
I just picked this up. Another impulse buy. It might be my next project, or it might set on a shelf for a while. I have been spending too long on my ARs lately and some of my other projects need some attention.
This is a Dessert Tech stripped lower. It does come with all the proprietary...
Whatever dude, I don't care what you do. You might want less muzzle energy. That's fine. You might want a heavier bullet. That's fine too. You might feel the need to have a gun small enough to get in a gunfight in a phone booth. That is for you to decide. You be you.
I don't have a dog in the fight here. There is some reason behind using short barreled 5.56 rifles over 9mm. These numbers are approximate due the wide variation between brands, but the point can still be seen.
A 55 grain 5.56 bullet from an 8 inch barrel will give you ~ 776 ftlbs of energy...
I was thinking Mr. Hand....
If the 1934 NFA states that a machine gun is defined as multiple shots with the single function of the trigger, wouldn't turning the selector switch from safe to fire be considered a function of the trigger? I mean the gun won't shoot unless you do it. That would...
LOL, that's true. I need to up my game when it comes to lowers. I do however have tons of magazines for the same reason. I have magazines that I bought because they were a good deal, ones that I don't even have a firearm that they would fit. I have boxes and boxes of magazines hidden all...
I have at least half a dozen stripped lowers in my safe that I have absolutely no plans to build out right now. All of my uppers currently have a lower of some kind attached to it. I also have specialty lowers (like with a binary trigger) that I swap around all the time.
Another thing that I forgot to mention earlier...
The very first AR15 that I ever bought was a stripped Bushmaster lower receiver around the year of our Lord 1992. I could not afford a complete rifle in those days. It took several months of fishing pennies out of my couch seat cushions to be...
