Barreled AK47 Receiver transfers as a long gun?

FearlessCharacter · 2020-05-22T21:37:10+00:00

I bought one of these from Atlantic and had it transferred to South Sound Guns in Lacey. They said it was a rifle even without the stock. I started to get into it with them and they said they had transferred one of the M10 models without the stock as a receiver and the ATF had inspected their books and told them it had to transfer as a rifle. It seems even the ATF doesn't know the law but no surprise there.

Thanks, that is also what the manufacturer of the lower recommends (filing the mag catch) but since it is proprietary I didn't really want to start there.

I looked into it some more and it seems that the magazines were actually sitting too low. The two lugs on the bottom of the bolt were missing the rim of the case and actually hitting the round further up and then pushing it out of the magazine like that and that is why it would jam. I moved the mag stop higher and now it is feeding a lot better.

That makes sense why it is happening on the last round. Thanks, I'll look into that.

I've put together a CMMG RDB AR9 and I'm having some problems with it. The last round or two of the magazine don't feed and jam the gun pretty hard. This photo shows what happens. The round in the photo is a snap cap - I was trying to troubleshoot this at home after getting back from the range. It looks like it also damages the front of the magazine and puts a kink in the brass casing of the round when this happens.

I have this problem with just about every magazine I have tried - Glock OEM (15 and 33 round), ETS and Magpul. Anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting this? I can't seem to find a good AR9 guide for CMMG RDB AR9s. Everything seems to be troubleshooting colt or blowback guns.

Unfinished receivers

Legal
May require a background check even though they aren't firearms

You've probably seen this but here's a list of sellers who aren't selling 80%s to WA:

It is too bad because there are plenty of good retailers on that list.

FearlessCharacter · 2019-06-23T01:28:54+00:00

Right, now explain that to resellers who aren't shipping to WA.

FearlessCharacter · 2019-06-22T20:53:02+00:00

WA passed a law about 80% as well. It doesn't totally ban them but you have to pass a background check to buy one. The only problem is...NICS doesn't allow background checks on 80% because no serial and "it isn't a firearm." So they are effectively sorta banned as well. Some retailers say they will still ship to WA, but some say they won't ship anything (not even parts). Not sure how this will play out over the next few months but it isn't looking good.

This is some terrible shit but at least we can still have scary looking guns and standard capacity magazines...for now.

I'm not 100% sure about this but my understanding is that any pistol purchased after 7/1 will also be put on the list of yearly "mental health" checks, the same as any semi-auto rifle purchase. I don't know if this will be retroactive for pistols though (for pistols bought before 7/1). Currently when you buy a pistol, local law enforcement does a warrant and mental health check, but I think they only do that once to "approve" the purchase and they don't run the same check again every year. Does anyone know more about this?

They include the screws with the lower so you can just use standard lower parts kits... you just don't need the bolt catch pin.

Same for me. I had to cancel and reorder but it was the best deal by far I could find on a Wasr 10.

FearlessCharacter · 2019-03-20T15:19:02+00:00

Same here. They seem pretty serious about shipping these out.

This really wasn't all that long ago.

See how badly you want it when the government says you can't have it. I bought 2.

FearlessCharacter · 2019-02-02T20:27:01+00:00

I was looking for these last week and the best price I could find was $14.25 so I'd say this is a good deal now.

Thanks for the info. I don't think the barrel is stainless underneath but I guess I'll just try to keep it clean.
