I personally like the Bear Flag loaders because it doesn't drop the bolt. I've had an issue myself where the last cartridge just dropped on top of the mag not in it and when the bolt goes forward that obviously causes a double feed. I also use the magpul B.A.D. lever to make the bolt release ambi essentially. May not be as fast but with more control you can look in the chamber before dropping the bolt manually. That way if there's a loose round you can tilt the rifle drop the round and get back in the fight. Either way the both loaders have their pros and cons.
Hey bro, I am looking into building an AR pistol from scratch, my question is what guidelines did you go by to build yours? I keep seeing conflicting information about AR pistols and their legality, but given how this video isnt fuggin 9yrs old I was hoping you could provide me with the specs you went by to adhere to? I heard that you cant do an AR pistol with a weight over 50 ounces, obviously has to have a pinned mag (which sucks), but what about the barrel attachments? Dont you have to have a welded A2 birdcage at the end? Trying to navigate thru whats true and whats not has been quite the hassle. I want to make sure I am completely within the laws when I start getting the ball rolling on this build. Any help would be appreciated, thanks man
I spoke to the guy that owns JC arms and my local ffl. Both told me that since a detachable mag is one of the criteria for an assault weapon…. A firearm built with fixed mag lower is not subject to the restrictions of the assault weapon ban. If using a fixed mag lower to build an ar pistol… -build it up with a barrel under 16” -using ma gun portal register/efa-10 as pistol. The efa-10 actually says “handgun” Since it is fixed mag and not subject to the assault weapon ban.. -the muzzle device doesn’t need to be pin and welded. - the pistol brace (not stock) can be adjustable -50oz rule doesn’t apply One thing to remember is pistols cannot have a vertical foregrip. I’m actually considering filing the atf paperwork and turning my ar pistol into an sbr. It would now need to follow the assault weapon rules but I’d have a shorter rifle and detachable mag.
12.5 barrel. Linear comp is about 3.5”. Comp is tucked into a 15” hand guard. While it is long with the comp, it’s still a pistol due to barrel length.
very good video
is 16 inch barrel okay on a fixed mag lower for pistol build?

Thanks. I’m going to look into the Bear flag loaders.
JC arms is the way to go for FMGs. Like the build.
I live in Massachusetts. Great video. I purchased a pre ban rifle.
It's a shame that you have and don't have, what good is 10 ammunition in combat, such an expensive weapon for nothing?

The people’s republic of assacusetts 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What was your move after they banned the pistol brace?
Nice too bad we here living in ma have to jump hoops to have something like this rather that the real deal that everything works intended 😊
Seems a bit long to be a pistol.
12.5 barrel. Linear comp is about 3.5”. Comp is tucked into a 15” hand guard. While it is long with the comp, it’s still a pistol due to barrel length.
