The gobmint considers the sear alone to be a "machine gun" so you will need a license to legally possess/use that part, but, last time I looked, all the other parts are legal. But it's been a while since I looked, so YMMV.

that's the road I was hoping to go down. I have family in Vegas and was trying to figure out a way to register the gun with one of them.

I'm liking that Vortext optic!! I'm going to make a decision in a few weeks on that or just get the eotech set up. thanks!

All full auto/burst weapons made before then were grandfathered. This means AR-15 full auto and bust sears are $15K+ and that’s if you can find one. Most owners are holding on to their auto sears. Oh and don’t forget the NFA paper work too.

Yes, you can own a full auto or burst fire weapon (except in states like IL

) but you’ll pay and arm and a leg to do so. I don’t know about you but, my finger can pull a trigger pretty fast.

As a side note; NFA items can be bought (assigned) to a trust. It usually takes less time for the NFA stamp to be issued to a trust, than it does to a private individual. The good part is that you can add anyone to the trust, so that when it comes time (your passing on to the next realm), there is no paperwork for your heirs to worry about and they get your NFA items. Otherwise, as an individual, when you pass on, the government will confiscate your NFA items without compensation.

Build one... I just started my 12th build.

You can build match grade for damn near same price less than some store brands

This was my tax free weekend purchase about a month ago; M1A

This was my first AR build (Athena). LMT 14.5 NFA upper w/Stag lower and LPK. Very budget built (besides the upper)

Been hunting with this for years now, Remington 7400

Gift from the Grandpaw; COLT MK IV Series 70 Gold Cup National Match

And my daily; XD40

Antistupid · 10-16-2014, 01:38 AM

This was a cheap build too, did this one for a buddy IIRC it was right at $780.

This is 1 of my babies. Started out as a Stag Arms model 1.

Here's a couple of more, DPMS in .308 and a M14.

For those of you that carry daily or atleast have your carry in your Z most of the time.
Where do you all like to mount or store it?

My Bladetech OWB paddle holster actually clips right under the steering wheel and holds in well. Quick access and fairly hidden. I've seen setups in other cars where the holster was custom made to the car. Pretty cool IMO

I carry it on my belt.

Haha well that is the point right?!
It is VERY uncomfortable for me to carry while sitting in the Z. Seats are too small I guess.

that's sounds like a pretty good spot.

I carry on my belt too but I do have a "car gun" that remains in the car.
I'm still thinking about where I want to put it.
maybe a holster mounted to the back of the passenger seat?
