If I installed the FRS-15 stock ( http://www.thordsencustoms.com/frs-15-stock.htm ) current NJ law would not have any issues with me having a 16" threaded barrel with a non pinned brake or flash hider? This would be for a 300 AAC Blackout build.

 

Assuming that whle I live in NJ and kept the 16" barrel some place like ADCO would eventually be able to cut it down to the length I wanted and rethread it once I got all the proper tax stamps and approvals.

 

I actually don't mind the look of that stock all that much and it would be neat to have a barrel that wasn't pinned and welded.

Oh my god that thing is hideous.....

Detachable mag would be one evil feature. Threaded barrel would be two. What would be your third? Only two are allowed right?

Haha, to each their own! I don't mind it, assuming I can get my tactical link swivel attachment point on their somewhere I'd be happy as can be.

That's my take.

Not correct.

 

The detachable mag is the qualifier to be an assault weapon.  It is not an evil feature. With that stock, you are allowed one evil feature, i.e. flash hider or bayonet lug.

silly question.. but WHY..

 

if you plan to cut the barrel down later anyway... just have a inexpensive brake welded on for now.. 

 

problem solved?

Mostly because I want to run a KX3 flash hider tucked into my rail.

training on a gun with odd ergonomics to me is not worth having a hider... if you really intend to SBR and cut the barrel later I would seriously just run a brake.. actually I would just run a brake anyway..

I can totally understand your stance, but I have enough AR's that I can have an "odd ball" flash hider + goofy stock one, while still running all my drills on a standard platform. I'm also glad you went with odd and not poor because I haven't read many reviews and I'd try to avoid jumping to conclusions. I'll be out of state in about 1-1.5 years so I can always just swap it right back to a pistol grip once I hop the border if it turns out I hate this thing. The main point of this question was really whether I'd be okay with it + a flash hider and since it doesn't seem to have a pistol grip protruding "conspicuously" below the firearm (unlike a lot of thumbhole stocks)..... I think I'm in the clear on that front.

well poor is subjective... I do think it is a poor choice just due to the way I (and most people) handle an AR15... the ergonomics of that stock to me.. look terrible... when you want to press the trigger cleanly your hand is going to be all jacked up in the air... 

 

to me your options are so simple that I have NO idea why you would go that direction...

 

you are going to change the barrel length down the road...

 

so perm attach a brake...

get an inexpensive hand guard that will serve as a temp solution...

in a year or so when you leave... rebuild the upper to your needs...

 

I would honestly not consider that stock under any circumstance...  because I truthfully believe it negatively impacts the handling of the weapon.. 

Im not sure a NJ prosecuter wont still call that a pistol grip. But if you dont mind being a test case.........

 

I barely see the need for a muzzle device at all, all its effects are going to be negated by having the recoil forces traveling off axis.

It might be NY SAFE, but this is NJ, after all.  

 

But the most important thing is it is hideous!
