AR-15 Basics: AR Pistol vs AR Rifle… A beginners guide

So an SBR is a short barrel rifle, which I am familiar with the definition. What are the SBA3 pistols that PSA is making and selling?

I want to convert my rifle into an SBR. But I’m also paranoid about confiscation. I’m thinking that NFA items would be among the first targets on sleepy joe’s list of “common sense” reforms. Can someone please tell me I’m wrong?

Call of duty helped me know the differences. I play alot and the m4 is actually my main go to weapon. I bought a complete lower and made sure I got the right size upper so I don't end up doing 25 like you said

Very helpful just bought my 1st AR couple days ago. Thanks

I agree with everyone else. The 2 things they looks for are butt stock and forware pistol grips. You covered 1 of the 2.

Also a " pistol" cannot have a foregrip of any kind, they have even been going after " hand stops " because it's shows intent for using two hands
Abolish the NFA !!

thank u so much I am building my first rifle and I never understood the nfa well I still don't lol

wow I had no idea about any of this and this is a GREAT vid, seriously. the COD thing is just genius. shows everything you're talking about perfectly and doubles as being totally familiar to an old fanboi like me lol, amazing idea. But yeah this told me everything I needed to know. Kinda crazy that's how pistols are classified, I did not know any of that…but awesome explanation thanks

Time to edit the video….
Talk about the 26" requirement
Talk about, if originally processed on 4473 as a rifle, it has to stay a rifle
Talk about if originally processed as a pistol, it can be converted to a rifle
Talk about AOW, any other weapons
Talk about 4473 receivers being processed as 'Other'

You left out so much information…!

Can I make my m&p15 into a pistol without having to buy a new reciever

Very good video, should add a section on Pistol Stabilizing Brace and explain the pros and cons…thx

Everyone is an expert

Very helpful, thank you

You also forgot to say that a pistol rifle that you legal have to start with a pistol base and covert it to a rifle and not the other way around

I learn something new

Good video 👍

Thx for the explanation

Just the explanation I was looking for. Thank You!

Great Video and Info

Helpful but dumb law. Thanks

Thanx

Tyranny, plain and simple

It amazes me you are using a video game to demonstrate this stuff.

What game is that, anyway?

I’m a bit confused you said 16” barrel is a riffle and 14.5” is a pistol so what is in between ? Thanks

you should've talked about pistol braces

Try to use (Escape from tarkov ) for better simulation
It have every part you want

(Escape from tarkov is a game but it have a good experience )

People need to know you cannot turn a rifle into a pistol.. you cannot! However, you can take a pistol and turn it into a rifle as long as that pistol was originally registered as a pistol.

tHiS iS a MaGPuL M4……

if your AR 15 has a stock your barrel better be over 16 inches long, if you have a AR pistol, no stock and barrel under 16 inches better not put a pistol grip on the front rail, and don't forget that if you bought it as a RIFLE you can't turn it into a pistol without BATF forms and fees

What about a pistol brace you didn't mention that?

Other than calling out the wrong names to the parts very accurate on point

Good video & good examples. Though I think SBR’s/SBS’s & suppressors should be removed from the NFA.

Just got done building a pistol with a 7" barrel and brace. Very nice truck gun. If I don't hit the target the fire ball will. lol. semper fi

Okay you're wrong right off the bat that's a B5 stock those are Knight's Armament flip up sights the grip is standard and your credibility is shot from the get-go

You for got to talk about pistol braces and how they dont make a short barreled AR into a NFA item. You alos should mention that regardless of weather or not you put a brace on a AR or AK pistol you can't put on a forward pistol grip.
