Edit

Just read that link, what it's saying is its easier to make a receiver without a stock as new either a pistol or rifle, whereas a receiver without a stock as new can be made new into either, a stripped receiver won't have a stock so that would be a non issue if you go that route.

I'm thinking I might just make it a rifle from the beginning and keep it simple. I'm a graduating college student, so I def don't have the cash for the "cool factor" right now lol

Next question- I plan on replacing the stock regardless with one of these...
Should I just buy a stripped receiver and build this gun from scratch or buy a full receiver then have the stock "stock" for a spare?

What are your thoughts on a Wilson lower or maybe upper/lower combo? I have two of their officer mags for my Kimber and they are by far one of the nicest 1911 mags I have seen so far.

the spikes lowers are priced right and are great. Stripped ones are 115 and they sell blemished ones cheaper.


P-mags are great, but any mag with a decent body and the proper follower/spring will run just fine. The us army just stopped using p-mags for duty use. That being said i have a few p mags and a few metal mags, they all run.

I support them, just hope they stick to their guns and not fold like they did back in 1986....

Let me put it this way (just my feelings). If the ban of these assault rifles and high capacity magazines means we never have a tragedy like the one in CT again, I'd be all for it. Except it doesn't. Just look at Columbine, which happened in the middle of the last assault weapons ban.

As far as Dicks, had it been my business, I probably would have done the same and temp pulled the guns, just out of compassion for what happened. People who are so for these bans should look at the prohibition of Alcohol, Marijuana, and just about anything else that's ever been illegalized and the black market it created and how many more lives were lost.

[99corvette]

What the media fails to say is during the assault weapon ban from 93-03 you could still make "assault weapons" they just couldn't have "deadly features", like a threaded barrel, folding/collapsible stocks, bayonet lug. No new high cap mags made during that time as well. The way the media is reporting it as like you couldn't buy them during that time or make them. Not only that the ban did nothing. At this point its not even about guns, this kid was mental which you would have to be to kill your own mother and all those kids. He would of done it no matter what. If you let the government tell you what kind of guns your aloud to own, whats next? no one is aloud to own a vehicle with more then 200hp because why should one person be aloud to go faster then the next person.

heres my view, copied from a conversation i had with another member via PM.. you guys may not agree with me at all but this is my take:

The goal here must be regulation of who can access guns. Everyone can agree that guns are getting into the hands of people who shouldn't have access to them, and that is what we need to focus on and tighten up. i think we need to figure out how to make sure the MENTALLY ILL ARE NOT BUYING THESE GUNS AND WHEN THEY TRY THAT SOMEBODY DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT.... the lawmakers are so focused on the "GUN" they create a system that doesn’t work "AHA! A crazy boy tried to buy a gun. He was stopped from buying it! Problem solved!" As if that sentence shouldn't send CHILLS UP THEIR SPINES AND MOTIVATE THEM TO FIND OUT WHAT HES REALLY UP TO!?!? in my opinion THAT DENIAL WARRANTS A VISIT FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT!!!! "Hey... Lady... Somebody from your house just tried to buy a gun and they were denied, because of X." not just turning the kid away... That to me is a wise course of action, . in the cases of Columbine, Viginia Tech, Aurora, and Sandy hook, each killer was considered "dangerous" by those close to them in the months before the incidents.

I say Arm those who are responsible enough to be armed, give them to as many people like me as possible, people who have the intellectual capacity to make a quick judgment the right way should the need arise... we MUST switch the focus from a blanket gun ban to a focus on taking them away from people like the Sandy shooter.

criminals and the crazy will be crazy, they will both continue to be those two things regardless of laws and legislation.

so I found an M&P 15 lower and after I paid, we ran the pics check... Took forever to get them to answer the phone then after another 15 minutes, it came back as pending but not yet approved.

The guy at the store said that it will take up to 15 days for them to finish the rest of it. He said they might not be able to find something, but I'm not sure what that meant. I'm concerned here.. the worse thing I've ever gotten was a speeding ticket.. I've successfully cleared 3 separate background checks before and nothing has happened since then, so I don't know why there would be an issue now..

Thoughts?

I liked the feel of the m&p-15. Plus the price tag ain't too shabby either.

This has happened to two of my friends, both went pending both were first time buyers. one of them got the ok after a few days. The other did the full pending time, which then he had to send a letter to the state in which they returned another letter saying yes he was able to buy a gun.

[davin]

Ugh, I'm trying to find a Bushmaster AR stripped lower and non are to be found locally. Anyone know of anyone selling one?

When I got back I was so pissed I figured I would just take a nap. Just woke up a few minutes ago to a voicemail from the gun shop saying the PICS people called back and that I was approved for the receiver. On my way to pick it up now.

Was was lucky to stumble across this thing... brand new stripped S&W 15 lower for $150

Do share... lol

Also, neither one of us will be getting those mags from LaRue anytime soon... I just called to verify my order and they were out of stock yesterday before I place the orders... looks like I'm on the waiting list.. sucks

my order didnt go through anyways for some reason? and ill share once i put my stocking order through

[~Brian~]

Haha, alright.

I found another place that I could get the mags so I ordered 10, but I doubt their website was up to date.. looks like it's gonna be a while. On the bright side, the sales rep at LaRue said they ran out yesterday, so the orders I placed shouldn't be too far down on the backorder list. Now it's just up to MagPul to make some more.

Anyway, what type of upper will go with my M&P 15 lower? I want it to have a nice tight fit but the holes need to line up too.
