No... full-auto is illegal on both the state and federal levels. The 3rd position on the lower doesn't mean anything without the rest of the machining and the F/A trigger group. Look right above the trigger pivot pin hole... there's no hole for the auto sear.

It's only illegal without the correct tax stamp, on the federal level at least. California, though, puts a different spin on it, though I don't pretend to understand what the requirements are there.

Agreed... can't wait to see pics assembled.
I've been debating which way to go with mine, and couldn't decide, so I ordered another lower. I really wanted FDE, but didn't want to "fornicate" my Calguns lower... so the CGN lower will be basically an M16, except with RRA's new telescoping buttstock (not the cheapie commercial that Ruger puts on the SR556). I'll be running a 20" flat-top with a JeffU ACOG. That will be all black as God intended for black rifles to be. The new lower will be the FDE project. Now, since I'm planning a 20", why get a 16" with a hider on it? I'll just go 14.5 with a Smith hider. Probably the same buttstock, but I might end up going with an eMod.

Not full auto, just has DD full auto bolt assembly. I don't know what is different between the full auto and semi auto, maybe its tougher, maybe its just a gimmick.
I almost went with a tan color build too, I was planning on going with tan before I got to the shop but when I got there I figured it needs to look mean, and black was the way to go. Also figured the coloring on the selector wouldn't go with tan as well as it would with black. Also, this lower has a interesting serial number, but I am hesitant to mention what it is because I see so many people blur theirs out on this forum, is there a reason I shouldn't mention what it is?

Just look at your AR without the BCM bolt carrier, charging handle, and carry handle, and you will see my gun lol.

Perhaps there are unscrupulous lawyers or people in general on here (and to all the lawyers, I'm not not saying all lawyers are unscrupulous, LOL) who will use this number against you somehow in the future to identify you. Think creatively... Will something bad happen to you if you post your serial number? Most likely not. Is it really worth it to blot out the number? That's your call. Nice lower, and nice guns for someone in college during a recession! |

It isn't just a gimmick. The auto bolt carrier has more metal on the rear end than does its semi-auto counterpart. This translates to greater mass and weight, and it helps with the correct timing and pressure in the gas system, particularly in a carbine-length.

I did not know that, why would anyone go with the semi auto over full auto given they are the same price?

And you are correct. The lower would have to be Pre '86 or a Pre '86 Drop In Auto Sear. |

That's a sweet upper. You'll love the AFG, I know I do. Way more natural method of holding the rifle for me then a normal VFG.

I've never met an AR that you should ride the handle back to the forward position. All the way back and leggo has been the rule of every one I've fired.

The only Bushmaster lower that I'm aware of that is off-list is the Carbon-15... it's composite/poly, with a sealed magwell... top loading only. Any other Bushmaster AR lower is banned by name and an Assault Weapon in California. On that particular lower, NOT a good way to go, for several reasons.... 1 - Top loading is a PITA 2 - (and this is a safety issue)... When an AR goes "kaboom", the bottom of the magazine is normally blown out. With a sealed magwell, the pressure has one less place to go... it's going to come out at the upper/lower joint, the ejection port, and the buffer tube vent. There's a big risk of injury during any "kaboom"... but the sealed magwell increases that risk. If you're from a free state.... a lower is a lower. Bushmaster is no better or worse than the hundreds of other lowers available. Personally, if I were in a free state, I would still build with a Spikes, JD, Kaiser, Noveske, or one of the other off-list lowers so I would be free to add a bullet button and travel to California.

A stripped lower is a firearm, but it, by itself, is not a "semi-automatic centerfire" weapon, thus, assault weapons laws do not apply to it. The maglock must be installed before the lower is attached to a centerfire upper. No maglock is needed if it is attached to a dedicated rimfire (.22lr) upper. Why have one shipped in? You're going to pay $120-$150 for the lower, then you'll be paying the FFL $60-$100 for the transfer, plus the FFL may add sales tax. If you're in SoCal, just head down to Riflegear in Costa Mesa and you can pick up a JD Machine lower for about $150 out the door.
