Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

"Accidental" SBR?

I'm building my first AR. This build will be a compact model, intended for home defense. However, I do intend it to be a legal "long gun". I'm building it over an extended time, and will be buying parts as I have extra cash here and there. As I was looking at buttstocks (I want a collapsible one), I wondered if it would be possible to inadvertently build a rifle that met the legal definition of an SBR simply by fully collapsing the buttstock, but would be legal with it extended - either partially or fully (based on the overall length requirements). I'm not at all familiar with this platform, so it's hard for me to estimate beforehand.

As I understand it, even possessing the parts for such an arm would be a crime, even if they were not put together, so I figured I'd ask before I found myself in a bad spot.
