AR legallity question

[blank]

Alright so I have a stag lower and I just ordered a RRA basic M4 style upper for it. Provided that I have the BB and a 10 round mag am I within the law? I just looked at the flow chart and saw that RRA was listed as a no no so I became concerned. Please school me asap so I can return my purchase before it becomes too late.

Thanks

Your fine. Not all Rock river arms lowers are illegal anyways. Stag is not on the list, so it's fine as well. doesn't matter which brand upper your have, only the lower.

Yes you are fine. It's the lower that counts, not the upper, and Stag is not listed.

The Rock River listing is an an anomoly.

Will your rifle be one of the listed make and models? No? Go straight to the store and the range. Stay legal.

all the best,

To clarify I do believe its their "entry tactical" model upper.

And yes I will always be staying legal, reading around here has helped quite a bit.

Your upper is not a rifle. As long as it's not mated with a RRA lower you're fine. That could potentially be an issue.

RRA is weird - its listings are likely invalid for a parts build as none of their markings refer to lower receivers, but as a good safety measure we recommend no one use a RRA lower with any of the listed equivalent uppers. Since your lower is a Stag you're safe.

As UCLA noted - it's a Stag lower receiver, right?? It can't be a RRA rifle. The upper receiver is not a rifle. The controlled item is the lower receiver.

Do lots of reading about this. The knowledge you gain will help you articulate the law if you are ever asked about your firearm by LEO. There is a chance you will know more than the LEO.

Cool thanks a lot for the help guys, this will be my first rifle that is of the "assault rifle" category. Another question is realistically how careful should I be at a public range, do many actually get bothered? Should I avoid going to the range unless necessary? How careful should I be?

Why on earth would you buy a rifle to hide it and avoid ranges?

I haven't heard about people being harassed at ranges in ages - even then it's usually some range commando or ignorant turd.

I've shot next LE. I used my BB. They were in uniform. No issues.

You have a OLL - not an "assault rifle." I would suggest you not refer to it that way as it might cause communication issues.......

Good to know. After some reading I was getting scared that I wouldnt be able to go to the range which is the only reason im building the rifle in the first place.
