DON'T ask lawyers, cops or gunsmiths Any questions on legality for anything gun related! You would probably get better advice from a shoemaker! The pinky test is BS. If it is sold as a compensator or brake and the description says nothing about flash mitigation. You are GTG! PS. The best place to ask questions is right here on this forum. There are more knowledgeable people here than just about anywhere you could find!

I would try a little metal polish like Brasso and a soft cloth. restoring the shine should restore the black! Anyway, that's what I would try first!

Just so you realize.....They are like potato chips, you can't have just one!

That's putting it mildly!

No sky is falling my friend! There are those that say buy as many AR s as you can now! There are those who are in a panic looking to sell everything black! I choose to do nothing right now until I know all the facts!

Why replace the whole upper? The barrel is cheaper! With regards to the thread protector, it all depends if it was just pinned or pinned and welded! Just pinned, get your dremmel and grind the pin down to where you can take off the protector!

Fixed my response to match you! I just found that funny!

I would hold off to see what the near future brings before doing ANYTHING!

THAT is why he's doing it! I am in the same boat! Don't go buying a new 16 inch non-threaded replacement barrel just yet since he will not stop there!

I love sweating copper fittings.....I used a Sharkbite once but NOT in my house!

Uncomfortable yes.....But you felt cool driving it! When I was in Vegas, I rented a Toyota Camry. I was comfortable but didn't feel so cool!

Make sure your barrel is 16 inches without the break!

I believe Murphy already plans on making muzzle brakes illegal, just like flash hiders! If you do get one, don't spend too much for it if you plan on taking it to the range. Buy stock in a company that makes unthreaded barrels and thread protectors with the leftover funds!

Thanks for sharing that @gimmemym1! There's a range in PA not that far from the Commodore Barry Bridge that rents FA for like $20. You have to use their ammo but it's probably still cheaper than Vegas!

SOTA said "I hope your dick falls off from the nastiest STDs known to man kind" I think Mipafox called it Turbo Aids!

372 killed in the PRNJ in 2016. 272 were killed with guns. ONE was killed with a rifle! Do the dumbasses concentrate on lowering the 272, no, they go after that big 1 killing with a rifle!

The problem is, all of my 15/30 round mags were permanently blocked by a glued or welded floor plate. If I were to try to disassemble them, I would destroy them! If they are going to ban 15 round mags, might as well take a trip over the bridge and load up on 30s and disassemble them before returning to the PRNJ. As I see it, constructive intent applies to the weapon and not to the magazines. If the Feds get stupid one day and ban the manufacture and sale of 30 round magazines but grandfather what you had pre-ban, at least you have some!

That looks sooo friggin good.....Please....Don't eat the gun!

Ryan, It appears my post may have killed that thread! I got some likes, including from you! I am hoping that what I posted may wake up a couple of the Fudds there. They truly are fools if they think the PRNJ will stop at black guns! Ask the average American the reason the 2nd Amendment was written and they will tell you "we have the right to keep and bear arms for self defense, hunting, target practice and competition. Such a shame that most gun owners do not understand the responsibility that comes with gun ownership! Nor the true reason the 2nd Amendment was written!

Not for long if Murphy has his way! We need to fight now more than ever!

No problem with the sample taste.....We won't tell! Just take the sample from the bottom! They both look great by the way!

I got back in and left a message for the Fudds! Fudd in red......Me in black.

You must be right. I was on that forum for a while and now it won't take my user name and password. I guess they did not like the fact that all I did was try to wake them up on the dangers to their 2A rights if they supported any further restrictions.

What should he change? Since it's a weapon, you can't carry it for protection no more than you can carry a slingshot in this Godforsaken state!
