K-var has this swivel block and if the barrel is 16" or more can I use this? Now or after the sunset?

Triangle 66 said:IIRC, that will be just shy (25 1/2" ??) of 26" Over All Length and would be illegal.
A rifle has to have a barrel atleast 16" and be 26" OAL.
I guess another part of the question would be if the muzzle brake when welded is still considered to be another part or part of the barrel? So, is it a pistol, rifle, or other and what laws apply?justashooter said:tricky question. i see trunnion blocks in use, and a muzzle attachment permanently attached (silv soldered) would make the overall length over 26.
the sticking point is the definition of "a rifle". gca 1968 says
"...a weapon...intended to be fired from the shoulder..."
44-921-7
don't see any other guidance to allow the use of a trunnion block.
of course, this doesn't mean i haven't bent a peice of 1.25 X .120 flat bar into a snakecharmer butt that plugs into the rear of a certain romanian i have and brings the length question to resolution at the same time..
I think the catch is that it has to be a virgin receiver, because once it's a rifle it's always a rifle, and you end up inadvertently building a short barreled rifle if you buy a rifle receiver and build it into a pistol. If you make your own receiver and build it into a handgun there is no issue. The problem with getting 100% finished receivers is that they are normally sold as rifle receivers and "once it's a rifle it's always a rifle." However, if you purchase a receiver that was built and sold for the purposes of building a pistol it should be no problem.ChrisAKG said:I guess another part of the question would be if the muzzle brake when welded is still considered to be another part or part of the barrel?

Probably not a bad idea except that I have yet to find a link that can show me how to reliably, accurately, and consistently bend those flats. Well that plus the fact that you really can't build a pistol over the 50 oz limit until after September 14th.justashooter said:aow costs 200$ to manufacture, and 5$ to transfer. don't do it. just wrap that sucker in heat tape, cut off the barrel in front of the gas block, and go to town. no foreign parts required in building a pistol. they are not covered by the 89 ban. read it yourself.
grade 3 amd 65 at 79$, tapco flat at 15$, plus 120 days = 30 cal ak pistul for 94$ each. at that price, i'm building 10.
Hehehehe.....I can't wait.Toten Kopf said:A whole new world opens up once you have that press........
Is there a sale on Tapco flats? I keep seeing them on here for $15.00. I paid $19.99 for all of mine. Do you have to have a catalog code or something?justashooter said:aow costs 200$ to manufacture, and 5$ to transfer. don't do it. just wrap that sucker in heat tape, cut off the barrel in front of the gas block, and go to town. no foreign parts required in building a pistol. they are not covered by the 89 ban. read it yourself.
