Okay gents, this all seems way to good to be true.

Can anyone comment however if it must remain an "other" forever?

Let's say, I move to PA. I want to put a regular 16" upper on it. Can I legally change it to a regular stock with a 16" barrel or am I "making " a rifle and my wife will end up hog tied in the yard and my dog shot 200 times?

Has anyone bought one of these?

If you are in PA then there is nothing against making rifles

I never understood the point of these other than to play technicality games with the atf. It's a short barreled rifle without a stock....for $1099....yay!

It's legal. Get one with a brace.

Or just build a pistol.

Pistols need a fixed magazine and a license to own in NY

Also right around $1,000 is actually a decent price for an AR15 (about right at the starting number)

That comes with a stock maybe.

You can scoop up a magpul BTR arm brace for $50 (about the cost of a quality stock))

If anything it's nice they keep the price right at about $1,000 by leaving out an arm brace and letting the end user decide what brace they want to buy

That you can legally own in a state like NY that doesn't let you own NFA firearms.

Wouldn't putting an arm brace on it make it a pistol though?

Nope. It's an other.. designed to be fired with 2 hands (the arm brace would be very beneficial for this) hence the vertical grip. And it has an overall lenght more than 26' (in its smallest usable configuration)

So now it's not a rifle, it's not a shotgun, it's not a pistol/revlover.. all 3 of those things NY has very specific definitions of.. and it doesn't fall into any of those definitions, so it's an other

If I was still in NY, I think I would rather go the fixed mag pistol route. At least that way, it would be on your permit and might be less to explain to a cop. Or they would just see it on your permit and they would figure it must be legal.

I would not want to get pulled over in NY with an "other" in my trunk. I would be very surprised if the average cop is going to know that it is considered an "other" and legal to own. To each their own though. You should be able to own whatever you want in all fifty states.

True. But if you register it as a pistol, no forward vertical grip. Then it's an assault weapon in NY.

Once I take my 12" 6.5 Grendel "pistol" out of NY, I can put a vertical grip on and, in a free state, it's an other. I can then unfix the 5/10 round mag and insert the 17 or 24 round mag
