The only place you need to check for this information is the town ordinances the property is located in, and ever worse if there is a HOA. I've since moved to a town where i can shoot from my back porch into a berm at the corner of my property. I hear gun shots all weekend from the other-side of our mountain where similar 2 acre properties are located. AFAIK, no state laws exist that provided the restrictions you have asked about... and some towns like Vernon i think require permits for private shooting ranges... So you have to do a bit of homework

You gotta light up the room somehow with all that bling and no rail for a flashlight!

Not entirely. While I don't agree with his overly cautious response on not being able to build one. His reasoning was pointed out by myself and others prior to publishing his letter. If you are building your own, it is extremely difficult to do it legally considering you most likely already own ar-15 rifles. The reality is... Just like building your own rifle, if the state police find it in pieces prior to any compliance work... You fall in the same category. You cannot build one of these legally with an ar-15 rifle in your possession. Once you figure that out you're gtg, and once it's assembled the liability of the rifle is gone.

Trolls are a great source of entertainment for me. What is there to learn? YOU actually believe these people will just vanish if they aren't engaged?

And what problems in your life have just magically disappeared by ignoring them?

300 bucks just to cut and thread the barrel!!!! HA! NVM.

1300 for a modified scorpion! Thats really not bad.

Very different circumstances.... Living isolated does nothing but buy you time in a "apocalypse". If someone is buying remote property for that purpose, they are probably well aware they will never be immune to such a situation.. All that does is add a buffer to your situation. People living remotely almost exclusively know that they have to depend on themselves for security, and that they are more vulnerable, not less, when society is otherwise functioning. The report said the guys had guns with them, so i dont really see dogs doing much here either. I am curious why 4 guys rolled up on a mobile home in the middle of nowhere, armed like they were about to rob fort knox.

in some cases, WAY Cheaper. I just have no idea the level of quality some of these manufactures have... At the end of the day, If i wanted a 1300 dollar gun, I would put the money to good use with some parts i know are worth the money... Now they are cerakoting the guns to jack up the price a couple hundred. I also fear these companies that advertise how great their components and material are... end up sourcing their parts from the same people as everyone else.

Looking at their prices they dont seems to be too bad.... I think since we are in this current climate of 600-800 complete budget rifles, people see something go for 1,300 bucks and call foul... My biggest fear with some of these companies is paying the premium and not really having an idea that the parts are in fact premium.

Who joins a gun forum at 5 in the morning and posts this garbage? Resurrecting a thread from a month ago nonetheless. By all means, provide us with an argument so I can be entertained.

It's painfully obvious they knew the law was unconstitutional, otherwise they wouldn't have changed it. Let SCOTUS official opinion so they cant reinstitute these absurd laws a few years down the road

Did every shot miss? looks like a decent amount of blood. Those stair shots... Uh? Looks like he was shooting in an attempt to go through the wall. Otherwise he put like 20 rounds pretty high into the other side of the wall.

I returned my Eotech XPS back when they were running the refunds... Not that i entirely regret the decision, but I did prefer it to my MRO. The MRO is nice and all, and it doesnt have any drawbacks that effect it's performance, but it does have the slight magnification a blue tint, and can have led refraction(red streaks) at odd lighting angles. The Eotech had non of that, but at the end of the day the MRO keeps better zero in temp flux, and i think its design is inherently better for durability.

@Modern Materiel Out of curiosity, with the most recent ATF opinion... If you remove the brace and measure only the buffer extension will you still get to 26"?

What makes you think it's deliberately trying to get in trouble? It's not like walking into a police station with a home made 80% Glock. At a minimum, you build one and no one knows you did.

Put the original handle on? The Tac-14 is still legal in its original form. The Black ACES DT BATF letter was an extremely sketchy opinion if you read it, and I don't think they submitted their folding version for inspection. I May be wrong but the non-folding version may be still be legal.

Its a shit show for sure. I guess you could put the original handle back on.

This "letter/opinion" does NOT apply to rifles, or folding STOCKS.

and just like that, BAM!!! a bunch of shit was just made NFA!

There is no regardless, what are you going to be charged with? It won't cost anything unless your caught actually breaking a law.

I updated the sticky thread with the notice. I would like to be very clear here and that this notice does in fact outline a legal means to assemble one. You just have to avoid violating the two laws mentioned in it, which was already a disclaimer in the sticky thread. This really is a Nanny state ruling that is more about controlling people than the actual law. At this point, you can do what ever you want with the information. Keep in mind, if your interested in this, you probably built a rifle at some point.. So remember you had the same issues then that are outlined here. If you figured it out then, you can figure it out now.

Maybe next we should ask them if it's legal to take apart our firearm to clean it.

At the end of the day, this letter clears up perfectly well for me that it's OK to build one provided you take the necessary precautions to avoid violating the laws they referenced.
