What length would you guys recommend for home defense?
16" totally legal rifle! 15.99" Illegal Short barrel rifle, felony gun charge, and felony tax evasion. Plus if your lucky you will have your wife, child, and the family pup killed, when they storm your property unannounced and you think you are in the middle of a home invasion so you go for your 15.99" illegal sbr. Now if YOUR REALL REAL LUCKY THE FBI, and ATF Will show up, surround your property with snipers and FIRE BOMB YOUR HOME. And then you get to be a marytr like Waco amd Ruby ridge!!!! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! Yippee!!!
What is the barrel size of the smallest size ar pistol in the thumbnail?
These laws are ridiculous. They don't make anything or anyone safer. Just let folks have what they want. Sbr, sbv, sbs, carbine, pistol. Being a little short ain't never hurt anyone.
got a link for short
Gotta love those super logical and common sense part laws…
If you don’t just shoulder that thing
Lol americans and those funny laws. I just build AR's to my desired length, don't worry about all that brace bullshit
to hell with BAFTE compliance, its unlawful legislation and should be ignored
Burn the NFA

While I dont agree with all the laws, I absolutely appreciate this short, concise and direct video! Fantastic job trimming the fat and offering good points.

Building a 10.5 inch 300 blackout pistol with a pistol length gas system, gas block is not adjustable just a micro gas block. Have a kak shockwave buffer tube. Do you have any suggestions on a buffer and spring to use for this setup?
Thankyou, you answered a question I had about pistol and rifle uppers on lowers.
The logic behind these rediculous laws is CONTROL!…
The 2nd Amendment getting slowly watered down, that's how guns are.taken away…!
Has Brownells stopped selling .556 10.5 FN COLD HAMMER FORGED, CHROME LINED BARRELS? I see no listing .
I knew everything he said already but his voice had me in a trance…. this guys the country morpheus
My next build will be a 7.5 300 black, even though I'm not crazy about the AR platform and prefer AK 762, I'll suffer with a 300 AR
I have a question that maybe you could clarify. I recently purchased an 16" upper as I intend to get the most out of reloads in .300 blk, and have yet to purchase a virgin lower. My question is to what classification the firearm would fall under if affixed without a shoulder stock? I would like the added benefit of being capable of alternating between the two, and i am aware it must be completed as a pistol first and foremost.
If you are asking for legal advice in a youtube comments section, maybe gun ownership isnt for you. Just sayin.
I'm in the middle of an Aero Pistol build. It has a 12" rail so I was going to run a 10.5 barrel with a KAK slimline flash can. That's 1.75" long. Also with a KAK Blade. I think that puts me right up to 26". If it's a little longer with kak blade etc, that's going to push me into SBR territory?
The quality, time, information, and effort they put into this video backed by 100% lifetime unconditional guarantee seems like they provide quality products. I am new, this video helps…

You can just imagine the amount of lives that have been saved by these laws. It has to be a staggering amount.
So if you filed your 4473 as a pistol you can legally put a stock and an upper on your pistol if you want to turn it into a rifle but you CAN NOT switch a rifle into a pistol if your 4473 was filed as a rifle? Is this correct?
You can have a pistol receiver become a rifle receiver, you just have to go to an ffl and have it retransferred to yourself.
So it says it needs to be overall less than 26" OR a barrel less than 16" to be a pistol. So you don't have to try to get a length of under 26" if you are running like a 10.5" or greater barrel which is really hard to do with an AR platform. Just wanted to put that out there for guys building.
what about 300 blackout?????? It is the best round for short barrel ARs!
Any tips or recommendations on when to use a "pig tail" gas tube for a AR pistol?
