Which is why no one has been prosecuted on r outside of a tacked on charge for something bigger and even then, the cases can be counted on one hand since Just how does one tell if it is r compliant, if there are no markings on some of the parts?
Really, is the ATF going to check your weapon at the range? I live in the Communist state of New York and now my Ar 15 is registered. Our Sate is bad real bad. Thank you Molon Labe. Screw the north Bro …. That would depend on how many parts were replaced. The 10 foreign parts restriction no longer in the United States code! See for yourself in U. The current United States Code is available online from the U. S Government Printing Office website.
Chapter 53 it is fair game to import and and construct according to the current code. There was no import ban or law in , merely a reinterpretation of ATF regulations at the request of George H.
I am no lawyer however and can provide no legal advice or counsel. I suggest you hire a lawyer if you want to know for sure. So while it is effectively law, it is still a regulation conducted solely by the ATF. Yes, R is something that we need to repeal before more constitution-haters get their seats back in congress. Are these laws Constitutional????? Read further.
Yes Mark quick, it also says well regulated. To update it we would say something like: A well trained people, being necessary to maintain freedom, the right of the people to keep and bear the same small arms as our military shall not be infringed.
It is our right and responsibility to keep a supply of arms and other supplies. John: As per my above post, I agree with Dave….. No lawyer would ever advise anyone to sell any gun that is illegal as it sits…. I have not researched this exact issue under federal statutes, so I cannot cite a section of the law for you…..
Not much differerent in my view than buying shotgun or rifle that is too short under federal law……one of the issues you face is that if you sell it to someone and hide the fact that it is non-compliant, then you have committed a fraud on the buyer.
In my state you could be charged with a crime just for that act. Also if the buyer should later find out you scammed him, he could sue you, and of course that would bring you to the attention of the cops….. So my advice is always the same…first take it apart so it is not a gun, but a pile of pieces. Then decide if you want to make it compliant, or dispose of the parts…. A lawyer cannot advise you to destroy any evidence of any crime, so I just suggest you break it down quick and then make it legal before you put it back together…….
Just got a non compliant catamount fury shotgun. Can I resell. If it is non compliant, disassemble it immediately. As long as it is in parts, you should not be at odds with the law. Then get the compliant part s to modify and make it r complaint.
At that point and in accordance with local laws, you should be able to sell it. Please note, as the article noted, I cannot an do not give legal advice. Please check with a competent authority for legal advice.
The conversation would go like this:. That leads us to section d 3. Good luck understanding this, the logic is complicated and there must have been a more clear way of wording this.
Section a of Title 26 U. Code defines prohibited firearms in its subsection a , and defines specific categories in the following subsections. Basically you cannot have:. The term "firearm" shall not include an antique firearm or any device other than a machinegun or destructive device which, although designed as a weapon, the Secretary finds by reason of the date of its manufacture, value, design, and other characteristics is primarily a collector's item and is not likely to be used as a weapon.
The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.
Such term shall not include a pistol or a revolver having a rifled bore, or rifled bores, or weapons designed, made, or intended to be fired from the shoulder and not capable of firing fixed ammunition. The term "destructive device" shall not include any device which is neither designed nor redesigned for use as a weapon; any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety, or similar device; surplus ordnance sold, loaned, or given by the Secretary of the Army pursuant to the provisions of section 2 , , or of title 10 of the United States Code; or any other device which the Secretary finds is not likely to be used as a weapon, or is an antique or is a rifle which the owner intends to use solely for sporting purposes.
The original receiver cover, rear and front trunions, and the scraps of the torch-cut receiver. Only the front trunion counts as the "mounting block", as it is what mounts the barrel to the receiver. This small pin holds the gas piston in place. We drilled out the rivet at one end and pushed it out, allowing us to unscrew and replace the gas piston. Section This law has been allowed to expire, but this is the government's definition of the terms assault weapon and semiautomatic assault weapon.
A any of the firearms, or replicas or duplicates of the firearms, specified in Appendix A to this section, as such firearms were manufactured on October 1, ;. C any semiautomatic rifle that cannot accept a detachable magazine that holds more than 5 rounds of ammunition; or. D any semiautomatic shotgun that cannot hold more than 5 rounds of ammunition in a fixed or detachable magazine.
The fact that a firearm is not listed in Appendix A shall not be construed to mean that paragraph 1 applies to such firearm. No firearm exempted by this subsection may be deleted from Appendix A so long as this Act is in effect. A the United States or a department or agency of the United States or a State or a department, agency, or political subdivision of a State;.
B the transfer of a semiautomatic assault weapon by a licensed manufacturer, licensed importer, or licensed dealer to an entity referred to in subparagraph A or to a law enforcement officer authorized by such an entity to purchase firearms for official use;.
Full Member. Feb 22, 11, 15, Northeast. I don't buy weird foreign guns so I don't care. Has anyone ever been checked or charged for r compliance? Trigger Monkey Ronin Full Member. Apr 29, 3, 2, Winchester Virginia. Coincidentally, I ran into this statute while researching for an article and most websites will post the law and basically say good luck, at least in my experience.
I called the manufacturer and the CS agent wasn't even aware they put the statute language on their website, but according to them, even though the firearm was imported I had nothing to worry about. That seemed dubious so I tried calling a couple other manufacturers and dealers but literally got no where, so basically I gave up asking.
That being said, I ran across some forum posts that essentially laid out that at that time no one had been prosecuted under r for failure to comply. The advice I'm putting in my article is to research the R statute and make good decisions.
Apr 17, 2, 3, The land of many waters. It is my understanding that the law states that it is illegal to manufacture or assemble a non compliant weapon.
So if you are just buying one, theoretically, no worries. To be compliant in order to use high capacity magazines you'd have to swap out foreign components for US made ones to bring the number of imported parts back down to Oct 1, 10, 19, Dallas, TX.
Sleep peacefully at night, do the research and build it up with enough USA based parts to make it all legal. It's usually not hard, and then you won't have to worry about the remote possibility of trouble.
Some of the better parts resellers know their stuff and will tell you all the parts you need to buy from them to make it compliant. If you need help with r or ATF compliance , check them out.

The M16 is a much more accurate weapon than the AK It is a much smoother-operating weapon and has less recoil. The M16 is much easier to control during full-auto fire. This is a debate that may never end. I have a Sar 3 with folding stock. I am told the rifle is illegal.
