Yeah, yeah. I'm working late tonight but hopefully I'll have some time when I get home to post a finished pic.

But, if you follow that logic, then there would be no need to remove complete lowers that belong to other rifles when building an upper, because the only lower that should matter is the one that is being mated to that upper. Otherwise, you would never be able to posses multiple legal rifles that, when combined, would result in a banned weapon.

This is what I think I'll be doing in the future. After looking at the statute cited in a previous post, removing the pistol grips seems to be the easiest way to stay within the letter of the law. However, since it was brought up. What if I own an "AR" with a thumbhole stock. That would allow me to have an upper on it with a flash hider correct? Then, I also own a another "AR" with a pistol grip and a compliant upper. Wouldn't it then be illegal to posses both since I could take one lower, combine it with another upper and have a banned weapon. No different then building an upper and having a complete lower on another rifle right?

Oh, I agree. I definitely saved money building it myself. I simply spent more then I thought I would on the build.

So, it's illegal to posses the lower while building the upper but, it's also illegal to remove them from my premises? Quite a conundrum. Either way, we can all breath a sigh of relief. The brake arrived and was installed last night. It was late , so no pics but, hopefully I'll have some time tonight. The build cost me a little more then I was planning but it's set up exactly how I want it.

Technically, if you go by those definitions, you can simply remove the pistol grip. Wouldn't that make it legal? If you have a thumbhole stock then a threaded barrel would be legit right? Just like a bolt action rifle? Just have to eliminate one of the scary components?

That's what I'm trying to do. I thought removing the BCGs would be good.

Everything relating to guns in NJ is at your own peril. Most officers don't even know how to interpret the laws. So what exactly is the written law? I thought removing the BCGs from my possession would be enough to make them legit since there is no way to make a functional rifle. The issue is pretty much moot anyway as the comp will be there today and should be installed tonight. I am curious for future reference though. I'm sure I'll be building more and it's just as easy to throw the lowers in my neighbors safe if need be.

Actually, Scorpio made the same comment in a very friendly way and I graciously headed his advice. Either way, I didn't see any attitude, cavalier or otherwise, until your post. The rifle is not complete, I don't have parts in my possession to make it complete. And, if any one is reading this forum, my intent is clear.

Not for nothing, maybe you should work on your reading comprehension before you criticise someone for having a "cavalier attitude". The BCGs are in a neighbors safe. There is no way to make the rifle functional with the parts I have in my possession.

Good point. I could throw the BCGs in my neighbors safe for the week until I get the comp installed. That should be good enough.

Exactly. That's my point. Everybody who builds an upper is breaking the law at some point during the build (unless you don't own any other ARs and have no lower in the house.) It's pretty much unavoidable. I don't foresee the State Police searching my home before the build is complete so, I'm not too concerned.

If you build an upper, at some point during the build it will be non-compliant. If you have all the parts on hand it may only be non-compliant for an hour, otherwise it's longer. I don't plan on taking it out in public until it's finished . It'll stay locked up till the rest of the parts come in. Should be finished on Sat and at the range next week some time.

Thanks.

It's an Ace 1" Recoil Pad - item# A999

I know, just foolin' around. I can't install the brake until the cap for the handguard gets here. I also need to order a brake. I was thinking about the Troy Medieval Comp.

No, the stock came with the pad you have. The rifle stock was too long for what I was going for and the entry stock too short to be comfortable for me, so I opted to add a little length this way. I'll find the part number and let you know.

What brake........

Thanks bud. I'm itching to finish this thing and get it to the range now.

Here are a couple of my 1911s. The Kimber TLE/RL is one of my current favorites. The stainless gun is a Ruger SR1911.

Well, It looks like a gun, and I think it's pretty sexy.

Got some mo stuff in the mail today: Lower parts kit Anderson M-4 1-8 twist barrel Anderson M-16 BCG Spikes Tactical Black Melonite gas tube Troy micro gas block

I test fitted the stock and hand guard just to get an idea of how it will look:

Well, after two weeks my shipment from Midway finally arrived. It was delivered to the wrong address, opened, taped up with duct tape and re-delivered. It looks like all my goodies are there though. Ace Skeleton stock Midwest Industries SS series hand guard Skeleton trigger guard Upper parts kit Carbine buffer and spring BCM Gunfighter medium charging handle I also picked up a stripped Anderson upper. Hopefully my Brownell's order will be here today with the rest of my stuff.

I see a lot of the people at my plant wearing reebok steel toe sneakers. Last time the truck came they had a pretty good selection of sneaker like safety shoes. There's way more available these days then what there use to be. http://m.reebokwork.com/Shop/?categories=Mens
