AR-15 DOLOS and TAC2 quick change barrel systems

[sirdutch]

Hello,

Anyone have a Dolos quick change barrel system and/or have an opinion on it?

I am also interested in the discreet carry TAC2 system. One can carry an AR-15 in a briefcase discreetly with this system.

Below are two sites describing each one. There are others of course.

Thanks.

I had the dry-fire kit, never had any problems with it. I did it a little bit different though, instead of a low-profile gas block I put the normal "A" style front site back on. So the forearm was captured and stayed with the barrel assembly.

I don't get it.
Pull 2 pins and a AR comes apart into 2 nearly the same size pieces if you have a reasonably short barrel.
Using these same 2 unbelievably boring takedown pins you can swap an entire new upper in a different caliber on in seconds....or less.
This incredibly efficient system allows the sighting option (sights, scope, laser, whatever) to stay with the upper and barrel so no need to rezero.

Heh, I should market a new quick change caliber system that uses gold plated uranium dioxide NiB take down pins with the new permanently lubricated BS coating in FDE.
With muffler bearings pre-installed of course

Another solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Also, one can NOT carry an AR15 in a briefcase unless, the briefcase is over sized or it's a SBR. I've never seen a normal briefcase that can hold a +16" barrel.

I agree, I replaced it with a ar pistol anyways. But it did fit in a normal briefcase, the barrel fits in diaganally. I don't think you'd get away with anything but an regular birdcage flash hider though.

I hadn't clicked on the link before I posted. Now I understand. They sell a special oversized briefcase.

This is still absolutely pointless. Its not as if any normal person would need to somehow need to carry a gun disguised and you still have to assemble it to use. Just another in a long line of gimmicks in the firearms world.

I liked it for the discreetness, carry it into a hotel and nothing screamed "I have a gun" I chopped up the foam to fit mags, ammo and a first aid kit. Kinda like a get home bag but real discreet.

Looks kinda cool. If i had an AR pistol and the money for this id probably get it just because it seems neat.

I replaced mine with an ar pistol. A Ar pistol is small enough to make this obsolete. I'm not a great shot, but between a 10.5" barrel and a 16" barrel I didn't shoot better enough to justify still having to assemble the gun to shoot it.

I have friends who have brought their 50BMG rifles into large casino/hotels and nobody thought their large cases were guns. In fact, it's not uncommon for some people to just say that they are musicians if anyone asks.

I don't disagree at all, I just think there might be a market for it. Some situations might call for something along those lines.

It's silly. If you have a real need for this sort of thing, you can get your hands on far better solutions. If it's just for funsies, go for it.

AR-15 DOLOS and TAC2 quick change barrel systems

I am not a lawyer and make no brash claims as to the legal validity of any of the suppositions that I am making here.

I personally was intrigued by the TAC2 system primarily because of the covert carry concept. It is rifle by definition if it has a 16 plus inch barrel, meets the overall length requirements and cannot be fired in the take down condition.

Legally, {correct me if I'm wrong please} if your rifle is in a briefcase, one can't be charged with carrying a concealed weapon if it meets the legal definition of a operational rifle only after it is assembled. It would also have to be unloaded. Obviously, one cannot be a location where firearms are otherwise restricted and the weapon, such as an AR-15 variant, would have to be in a legal AR configuration (bullet button and such} if in California. It would be handy if the weapon was legally acquired and was yours.

I do believe that a warrant would have to be obtained to see the contents of a locked briefcase unless under reasonable suspicion for a complete search to take place as opposed to an obvious rifle case.

I do believe the courts give Law Enforcement greater latitude to search if you have an obvious rifle case. They would probably argue that they were checking to see if your rifle was loaded. That is why I think the TAC2 system is so interesting. It doesn't look like a rifle case.Since officers don't always know the law, why put yourself through the ringer if that could be avoided by a discreet carry option?

I'm not seeking a way to skirt the law. I am only interested in the idea of not alarming the general public or an officer of the law, for that matter, while carrying a legal unloaded long arm.

The real drawback would be the possible limitation of the overall makeup and accessories one prefers for their AR.Then again, who only has just one AR? That would be silly don't you think?
