    Yes a pinned muzzle brake can be removed without destroying the threads.  Grind down past the weld.  Pull out pin and unscrew brake.  Been there. Done it.  

  • All there steps for the trigger install is reduced to drop it in, insert the two pins. I believe the CMC trigger has c clips, so you would pop those on the pins once inserted.

Looking for opinions on this upper.

 

http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/psa-16-mid-length-stainless-223-wylde-ss12g2-without-bcg-or-charging-handle.html

 

I have a lower and want something that's accurate between 1&300 yds. If this isn't good, any idea where I could find a decent barrel. Starting with a bcm blem upper that I have and building around it might be a better idea it's just looking thru the tons of choices is confusing.

My end plan is a 16-18" mid length barrel with a full length hand guard. I have a m-223 scope and an SSA-E waiting for it. Wouldn't mind spending up to 600. For complete upper I could always get to the stripped upper rec. next time.

Thanks,

John

PSA makes solid stuff. Get the FH replaced with a comp and ur good to go.

Building a NJ AR15. Whats not allowed in NJ besides a collapsible stock, flash hinder & a barrel shorter than 16 inches?

Bayonet lug.  Make sure the muzzle is crowned, or muzzle break pinned and welded.

15 round capacity or can it be higher

15 rounds is the max in NJ.

Thank you guys for the answers. Much appreciated.

Noobie to building an ar here. whats the procedures as far as registering a lower that i built myself

Not quite sure of the question. The lower was transferred to you at time of sale. That is all that is required by law. Making the registered part is not allowed in NJ

I assume from your description that you started with an 80% lower which you completed while in PA visiting friends!!! You then brought your completed 80% lower back to the PRNJ!

You DO NOT and Cannot register that lower (that you completed in Pennsylvania and has no serial #) in NJ. Besides, there is no law requiring you to register it here!!!  Just have fun with your new build!!

Okay, Let's start from scratch!  What are you planning to build?? I assume an AR style rifle! So you need a lower! Are you planning to buy a stripped lower and add the parts??? Or are to planning to buy an 80% lower (a Chunk

of aluminum that you have to mill out to make a lower)??

A stripped lower

Where or how can I get the Muzzle pinned & welded here in our great state? Recommendations in northern NJ?

I think by "built" he meant he assembled the lower by installing the lower parts kit and the receiver extension/stock.

Anyone know where I can find the Lower Reciever paper parts guide that is in the videos. AR15.com's links don't work for those...

Now can I follow this even if I got a drop in trigger group ? (CMC Trigger) how would I adjust?

All there steps for the trigger install is reduced to drop it in, insert the two pins. I believe the CMC trigger has c clips, so you would pop those on the pins once inserted.
