Re: AR 15 pistol

I have two 300 BOs. 26.5" long and fit in a Hazard 4 Takedown bag perfectly. I won't be open carrying it but I can throw the bag over my shoulder and go just about anywhere.

I don't follow the question about "where alcohol is served".

You can't make a rifle into a pistol but you can make a pistol into a rifle and back again if you want.

The whole SBR/rifle/pistol/other thing can get real confusing but there are a few of basic questions:
(Obligatory "I am not a lawyer" statement)

Does it have a stock (or can accept a stock)? No = pistol, Yes = Rifle. Note: Arm braces are not stocks even though they may look similar.

If it is a rifle does it have a barrel less than 16"? No = Rifle, Yes = SBR = requires tax stamp

If it is a pistol have vertical fore grip? No = still a pistol, Yes = Now an Any Other Weapon = tax stamp

There's a lot of other little, but important, nuances but these are the basic ones that apply to probably most people.

This is the way I understand it. Others more knowledgeable will chime in if I missed something.


One last question, why is this posted in the Instructor's corner?
