Dumb question

[will227457]

Ok i figure it's my turn to ask a lame azz question.....I am building an ar in 9mm. I have ordered all the parts, but I was trolling the ar15 forums and I saw this:



7.5in barrel....looks sick.....I can assume that this is not nor will ever be CA legal?

FYI I ordered a 16in barrel for my build

SBRs are a major no-no without going through the NFA trust gauntlet.

You can make an AR pistol in 9mm, but you can never put a stock on it.

As the other poster mentioned, you must contend with federal length requirements when building an SBR.

With regard to your comment about the rifle you linked to, you said it is sick but it looks fine to me.

Ummm... no, it wouldn't. Care to explain your logic?

I believe he was giving him his options..... A 9mm pistol build might not be worth it to you but I can see a few reasons to do it as with a 556 pistol build. If you really wanted a 7" barrel a pistol build is the only way to go Legally unless you have a fake can or something perm installed to bring it to 16 or more OAL.

it would be a good idea if you already have a pistol AR, but why go out of you're way to make a 9mm AR? its enough trouble to get a pistol AR, and to go through all of that to make a 9mm just seems ridiculous to me. but whatever, if you would do it, thats your decision.

[high_revs]

why judge what someone else wants to do with their money? it would still work if shtf happens. would i build one? no. but that's cuz it's not something that interests me, but it interests the OP.

many can be said the same thing on what other people put together here that might be ridiculous to the purists. but hey, most calgunner's support them.

to OP, won't be as kewl looking w/o the stock (imho only). so would you still build a 9mm ar pistol?

oshmily is being funny. :P

Here are the reasons 9mm make sense:

-from a 9-10" barrel is a tremendously high penetrating round, and still the weapon of choice for many elite units
-9mm is direct blow-back and much more reliable than the very short gas systems used for .223
-much cheaper than .223 (about 1/2).
-can be used at all indoor ranges
-quiet

and lastly, the pistol can be swapped between .223/9mm/anything else at any time.

There are no such things as stupid questions... only nooBs that don't use the search


That would be an illegal short barred rifle

[AlexBreya]

True, it's important to be respectful of people desires. What works for one, may not work for another. That's what makes this forum work and overall gives users a positive experience.

That being said, I would own a 9mm.

you seem to be missing a major part, the OP was asking if a SBR was legal. he doesn't appear to have a desire to make a pistol. the pistol idea came from a poster, and i was saying that it wasn't a good idea. i'm not being disrespectful of other people's desires, since no one here said they want a 9mm AR pistol.......................................

This kind of stuff is wasted on AlexBreya. Don't bother.

Defenition of "Sick!!" from urban dictionary:

if it is sick its toatally awesome
"check out my new quad"

"buddy shes sick!!"

I must agree, that SBR is indeed sick!! Same goes for just about every other SBR in existence
