I agree, she probably died years ago.

It's LWRC. You pay for the name. Also it's Ottomanelli's... you also pay more for that name.

I want one too. But I’m not fooling myself thinking I’m saving 9.5” or 7.5” off my typical favorite carbine configuration. I’m going from a 14.5” barrel + muzzle device and a fixed stock to an 11.75” barrel + muzzle device and the ability to collapse a brace. I’m cutting 2.75” and retaining an ability taken for granted in free America. Nothing more. Nothing less. I already have a 16” barreled MSAR (AUG copy) that is shorter overall than my issued 11.5” Colt R0933 Commando. If you are really looking for an SBR substitute with minimal OAL without running afoul of tricky NFA or NJ laws - a bull pup is a solid option.

A Jim Kibler .54 kit rifle. I use aqua fortis acid stain under Tru-Oil, also pulled the breech plug and used Nikal anti-seize grease on it as well as when I installed the Chambers white lightening touch hole liner. Fast ignition using Swiss 3F down the tube and in the pan. Tanner .526 or Lee .530 ball wrapped in .015 pillow ticking. Easy loading, accurate out to 100 yards (so far!). Fast ignition with the excellent Chambers Colonial lock. I highly recommend Jim's excellent kits!

And the attractiveness can really take a nose dive if you have an msar/tavor/aug at around 26.5 with a full 16" barrel! My X95 and my Bren for a length comparison. And the Bren isn't fully extended!

It was exactly what I wanted, in the order I wanted on the bread of my choosing. For being so particular about MY sandwich, please see below:

I know this is the Troy thread, but the MM guns are using an 11.75” barrel - and new appropriately lengthened handguard. This combo makes the OAL of the SBF right at the approved required length when measured against the new ATF standard and negates any required pinning on either end of the firearm.

Thank you Brotha! But I am still here and stronger! F the system!

so now the police are the judge and jury? is that it? 'cause in my understanding, they are LAW ENFORCEMENT. that means that they enforce the laws, not decide who should/shouldn't have something.

yes. this is not an offshore "screwdriver" kit and some knowledge and tooling is a requirement. that's extra fancy maple and worth the upgrade cost. this kit was $1350 shipped and Many of hours of labor into the build. the wood, barrel, lock, furniture are all top shelf. i purposely did not finish the barrel or lock and left them in-the-white as was mostly done back in the day, to patina on their own.

Yes, I follow ATF stuff because we are held to those laws as well. As of late, the ATF flip flops like the demtards. One minute is ok, then another letter says no. As for NJSP, I cannot see them not making the ATF law the same as theirs or even worse because of NJ's dumb gun laws. I was qualified here by a former FBI agent and like most others, say as long as there is no VFG, you are good. Here is a page that resides on SB Tactical's site. Good references. They keep up on these as they are one of the first making braces... https://www.sb-tactical.com/resource-category/atf-letter/ Do what you have to so. I think the NFA rulings on these are ridiculous as much as the stamp required to get an SBR.... Others are saying that it is just a ploy to skirt SBR rulings. Call it what you will.

Not sure I get it. Seems like an AR-Pistol..... Rail should be good. Only thing I see is that they put a vertical grip on front. If it is indeed an AR-Pistol with a play of words, the vertical grip is a no-no... Makes it an SBR. Just noticed on the LWRC site, that they make dealer exclusive weapon models too. So guess that's it.
