    Default Ar15. Pistol build questions.

    I'm looking to build an ar pistol here in the near future am7.5 pdw style. Have there been any changes to PA law on building a pistol from a lower bought as other or fed law. Just as a reference I was talking to my local gun shop and they stated I can no longer build a pistol from an ar15 stripped lower is there any truth to that? After being told that I search the web and I can not find anything on changes in the law about building in my web searching.

    If it was transferred as a receiver, you can build it as a pistol or rifle. Lot's of threads on this: http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=26889

    ^Yup

    Sounds like your shop doesn't know what the hell they are talking about.

    Looks like they've answered you law question

    I would STRONGLY suggest you look into the Phase 5 pistol buffer tube. It was specifically designed around the sig brace and frankly looks killer. I love it on my pistol build.

    Also, the KAC flash can or clones are pretty awesome. They help direct the fireball forward.

    No it wasn't latchsaws, Danny has been very good about being honest. It was the other local place, most of the time the guys are good about being on top of the law and not being rude or ignorant to the law.
