The importer can't use the kits to make firearms (thus the disclaimer about repair and repaclement only.) That seems to be the way that kits are coming in now. But the person buying the kit from the importer can assemble it into a firearm with no problem as long as foreign parts count is 10 or less. The 63 is a nice kit and the 65's are nice too. A couple options to get the barrel legal length on the 65 that might make it a little more time consuming to build though. Most use a barrel extension like what tapco or fac sells then the brake that came with it. Moses at the falfiles (and akfiles) sells an extended brake that looks nice but is $50 shipped. The link is
Moses AMD65 brake . FAC also sells an extended brake if I remember right. The extended brakes are nice because you don't need to use a barrel extension which saves on one less area to have to silver solder or weld. I am going with a different look and going with a fake "can" on the end (fake suppressor - similar to what krinks have added for non SBR friendly states). It will screw on to the threads on the barrel, extend the length another 6" and then be blind pinned, etc. I like the AMD kits, but I also wish there were other kits around the same price (to help give variety in builds.) Hopefully centerfire or another importer will get in some other neat variations soon.
As for what kind of receiver to get. Well the vulcans are nice if you want one that is already done. I haven't used OOW so can't say for sure. As for the do it yourself blanks, bentmetal blanks (Robert Ibe) are nice. Here is the site
Bent Metal Blanks . I've heard nice things about ace arms and think that is what quite a few build with. The flats from tapco or fac can be bent into a receiver and used. The u bend and weld receiver flats look nice but would need someone good with welding to get them to look right (in my opinion anyway). Either way there are a lot of good choices out there. :smile:
