The gun is designed to be a weapon fired with two hands, implying a Vertical Grip and a pistol brace, as designed by the manufacturer. AFG? Not 100% sure on but generally everyone I spoke with from the Attorneys to manufacturers... swap out whatever you want, but needs to be a pistol brace + vertical fore grip. 1 hour ago, Blacksmythe said: Round count is now 1295. I’m using a different bolt. Feels good it’s still chugging along. All rounds were m855. The new bolt is a palmetto lol wish me luck. I wouldn’t mess with that. Keep it simple for the drones Nothing wrong with their bolts. =) They do the job they were specified for. As long as it is up to mil spec, will be fine. Will take more to clean it... but will run fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Borris- are you referring to something like this? https://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCMGUNFIGHTER-Vertical-Grip-Mod3-1913-Black-p/bcm-vg-1913-mod-3-blk.htm That, or the longer version would be ok. This would not be ok. https://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Magpul-AFG2-Angle-Forward-Grip-BLACK-p/mag414 afg2 blk.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leo-польд 35 Posted October 10, 2019 I got, 10.5 version today with pinned flash hider, much better option than 12.5 as for me. It is available in stores. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted October 10, 2019 I'm eyeing the 10.5 version as well... Looks sweet! Question... Why did you have the FH pinned? Thought it was OK to leave it threaded Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought it was OK to leave it threaded Go to the non-nfa build guideline thread and look at the barrel/buffer tube combos. 10.5" is not long enough, even with a A5 buffer tube, to meet 26". Muzzle must be pinned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatty 241 Posted October 10, 2019 Ah okay thanks for the clarification guys. For those that have one in 10.5, how's the muzzle blast?Wondering if maybe a linear comp would be a good idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leo-польд 35 Posted October 10, 2019 Is anyone replaced trigger on these short other firearms? It is quiet stiff on Troy, I wish I could install something better. Is it legal to replace? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can modify it how ever you want as long as you keep the brace and vertical hand grip and the overall length from buffer tube to barrel is 26” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also if brace is broken can I use another brand? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EngineerJet 191 Posted October 10, 2019 Just like if you were building your own AR...there could technically be a window in which it falls into the illegal category if you remove the vertical grip or brace. Use common sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use common sense. I guess you are suggesting to keep both as it is because of unknown situation? Market of these parts is huge and it is easy to make mistake.

Dont be taking the gun out in public in unfinished form, or have it laying around in unfinished form in the rare event the police raid your home. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree if you’re going to change anything be ready to install the new equipment ASAP especially if it changes the classification of the weapon such as vfg or brace. Technically speaking while changing the parts you will be have an illegal weapon. If you don’t feel comfortable doing it or aren’t sure what you’re doing I suggest buying the parts and letting a local FFL do it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
