Thinking of Ruger AR 556, what’s the current kosher method of making it “SAFE”?

[seezur]

I know this subject has been beaten to death and everyone has their opinion, but how are most the FFLs selling ARs these days?

I’m seeing Ruger AR 556s going for about $550 right now so I feel compelled to get one. I’d be going the fixed mag route, as this would probably rarely, if ever, be fired while in NY, though once I leave NY I’d want to be able to turn it into a real rifle and get some good use out of it. Maglock with JB weld on the button generally considered “SAFE”?

Plenty stores selling them already buy one already neutered and sell it when you move

Ha ha ha. I dont understand people always talking about “if i move”.

They are $550. Sell it and buy another.

IMO no one is leaving. Dont worry about leaving.....just Leave you are gonna. Save the $550 for your move.......

For me it’s not an “if”. I can work from anywhere and have the money and no dependents. Bought a house to be close to family but I could sell as soon as 2 years if I wanted to take a little loss. I’ll likely be moving to NC to be with other family but really anywhere a little warmer and a lot freer will work.

Was just asking because my FFL works with me and instead of paying a lot more for a “SAFE” AR I can get one on sale and buy a maglock for $20 and be done with it. Just wasn’t sure how the FFLs have been selling them cause I haven’t been in the market.

Or are local shops selling that cheap? From what I’ve seen in the past the compliant ARs are more than the normal variants are at MSRP, so several hundred difference.

local FFL does the Prince 50 thing.
Drill & tap mag release button and install a long set screw to prevent button from being depressed.
He uses a non standard size where the Allen wrench is not part of a normal set from Lowes
He feels that by having a "special tool" to bypass it makes it more safe compliant.

Ha ha ha. It does not matter if it is secret/special tool or not if you dont fuck with it! If you take out the set screw, sectet or not is the same end result.
