FNAR Legal

[waltmoe]

Does anyone know if the FN AR .308 is legal in Kalifornia??

Yes, with a locked 10 round mag and OAL of 30 inches or more. OLL 101.

Confirm the 10 round lock mag you would use a BB

[aplinker]

You would need to come up with something yourself - there are no commercial BBs.

Someone recently mentioned they have one with a custom BB.

Why this rifle?

Cold War Shooters has a lock for it. Give them a call.

Solar tactical grip holster it.

Not completelyaccurate.

Cold War Shooters makes one. It's not on their website, but they fab them to put on the rifles they sell. My buddy is having two made actually, but they're pricey at somewhere around $150 and you have to send in a receiver or it may not fit.

There is a smith on here that makes them too, but I can't remember his name.

ETA: Search this site and you'll find threads from GT500 that ask about these locks and he got a few responses.

I was looking at these the other day in Houston. Since it is basically a Browning BAR (sporting rifle) you should be able to mount a standard stock to the rifle and go the "featureless" route.

Trick would be finding a composite BAR stock.

I hear someone suggest that too- that a standard monte carlo stock would work.

The problem is that if you've actually held one then it begins to appear that they're not that similar to the BAR at all. They look similar, but there are differences (ambi mag catch for one, which is why most folks don't make a BB)

I have actually held one and I have owned BARs for almost 20 years. The receiver appears to be the same, as you noted, the magazine release is totally different, but that has nothing to do with how the butt stock mounts to the receiver.

How come there are no tactical BAR's out there. I would love to have one in300 wsm with a ten or twenty round mag.

Does anyone know if the FN shotgun monte carlo stocks fit in the FNAR? That may be an easy answer.

Waltmoe - If you pursue this and find a place/cg member to build you a bullet button, please post all the details including cost, wait time, and Pictures! I want a FNAR too! If you switch out the stock, please let us know what solution you came up with.

The CG member "Seesm" makes them, as do Cold War Shooters.

ETA: I think Seesm's business is Steel Rain Gunsmithing
