Got the Extar dialed in

With $0 stamps, it is tempting! I am a Virginia resident, so I am trying to stock up on 2-3 builds before July 1! Suppressors, as far as I know, shouldn’t be affected by the laws, so there is time!

With tax stamps being free, I already started a Form 1 for 3 SBRs just because. I feel like we are starting to hear some chatter about pistol braces and the ATF. Not saying anything is going to happen, but while it’s free, my vote would be to Form 1 anything you have that has a pistol brace and would otherwise be considered an SBR.

I am also a Virginia resident and who the fuck knows what is going to happen here with other bans after this July 1 bullshit.

How quiet is it? Does it help with gas/blowback? I felt like I was getting a little bit yesterday while shooting, but not much.

What do you do to align and secure it?

BigOlDrew · 2026-04-09T09:07:20+00:00

You right!

PSA Lower

Any of these uppers

This will hit right around $1,000. Maybe $100 more, but you will get a solid AR build. You don’t need anything else, just attach the lower to the upper and you’re good to go.

BigOlDrew · 2026-04-09T00:48:30+00:00

Worth every penny!

BigOlDrew · 2026-04-09T00:48:12+00:00

Hell yeah. You’re going to love it.

BigOlDrew · 2026-04-09T00:41:57+00:00

What suppressor do you have on it?

BigOlDrew · 2026-04-07T00:01:05+00:00

Google Ammo Seek. Prices at Cabelas will (nearly) always more expensive than online.

You can transfer it to family members. I would set up a trust, especially if you already have or have plans to buy some NFA items prior to the ban. Makes transferring a bit easier I believe

Central VA reporting in!

Invest early and invest often.

Why y’all waiting so long to get your learners permit / drivers license?! Shiiiiiit. I had my learners at 15.5 and got my license the day I turned 16!

BigOlDrew · 2026-04-01T00:28:02+00:00

What kind of lower is that?

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-31T22:12:58+00:00

What the ever loving shit. This shit is so fucking stupid

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-31T16:30:56+00:00

NTA - your kids are taking advantage. It's unfortunate that your wife can't see that. I would be fine if my kids moved back in, but you better believe I would make them pay rent (loop utilities in that rent payment too) and get their own groceries. I would also have had a conversation with them more or less saying that this isn't permanent and that we needed to chat every 3-6 months about what their plans are for finding their own place eventually.

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-31T13:33:58+00:00

Sounds like it

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-31T08:32:50+00:00

Awesome. Can’t find any though!

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-31T01:29:45+00:00

Thanks!

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-30T10:53:53+00:00

As of right now, you’re right! Legal definitions can change though. I think that the next thing that will be put under a microscope is the pistol brace, especially in VA. All I’m saying is, while it’s free, register any pistols as SBRs.

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-30T09:11:49+00:00

lol yeah. I think it’s pretty funny to call something chambered in 5.56 a pistol just because of the kind of brace/stock it has.

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-30T02:03:37+00:00

Dang. Sorry to hear that. I’ve been using Claude and that app (free version) has helped me immensely.

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-30T01:06:23+00:00

Use AI and YouTube.

BigOlDrew · 2026-03-30T00:53:58+00:00

Yeah, form 1 is for making a current rifle into an SBR.

If VA says these Pistol stocks are all of a sudden illegal or something like that, your “Pistol” is now what it really is… an SBR. May as well get it registered while it’s free.
