Compliant or Register

I went compliant because, in addition to not havjng to worry about other actions taken against registered guns, I want the gun grabbers to remember the millions of ARs and AKs that DIDN'T get reg'ed. Lots of folks are keeping them in their original condition with an "idgaf" attitude but I want to keep taking them out to the range, etc., with no worries.

What rifles???

not trying to burn the noob, but there are multiple threads with multiple pages on this vey topic. It's another never ending debate here.

My opinion (in a nutshell with some exceptions based on your situation) is for long guns DROSed before 2014, compliance. For AW configurations DROSed after 2014 register.

This is the rout I am going. I don't want to tell tell them about those they do not know about plus this leaves me with some AR's and AK's that my minor kids can still shoot.

Register, the state dictates how and where you can use your rifle, how to transport it, and basically bars you from selling or transferring it to anyone else in the state. You can not will the rifle to anyone. in other words you are transferring ownership to the state, but they will let you use it as long as you play by their rules. Worse, you need to pay them $ to take ownership of the rifle and you're stuck with that bullet button. Some say registering protect you from future restrictive laws. Time will tell, but do you really want to trust this government on that? Others say you can always make it featureless and deregister it later, but why go through the $ and hassle to do this, even if the state lets you.

Featureless rifles are ugly, but very usable. The conversion is easier to do than registration, and if done right costs about the same. A bonus it that the rifle is still yours, if bought after 2014 it is in the general dros database, not the evil/scary/confiscate-first database, and you can use a normal mag release, not that bb.

Btw, pre or post 2014, shouldn't matter when deciding if you want to register your rifle, they don't know how it's configured.

Then there is the lock-mag option. But as someone else said, there is a bunch of info on all of these options. I recommend doing some research.

Hope this helps

After 2014 long guns are registered by make/model/serial #, just like handguns. Before that there was a record that you bought a long gun, and that was it.

[ar15barrels]

The 2014 rule makes perfect sense. Could you elaborate on this? Isn’t DROS reported to the DOJ automatically? What were they doing before 2014??

Since the 1960's, they have kept track of handgun transactions including the make/model/barrel-length/caliber so they know what handguns you legally transferred if they run an inquiry on your name.
Long guns were not tracked in this manner before 2014.

Before 2014, they only know when you TRANSFERRED long guns.
They do not (supposedly) know if you bought rifles or shotguns or the make/model/barrel-length/caliber.

After 2014, they log the details of your purchase into the database.
They can look up your name in the database and will be able to see exactly what make/model/barrel-length/caliber of rifle or shotgun you have transferred into your ownership since the beginning of 2014.

Op, there are a lot of threads on the pros and cons of registering in the 2nd amend. Political discussion and activism forum, and a bunch of how tos, including a featureless photo thread, in the semi auto and gas operated forum.

Have fun

I will just add that whoever came up with the idea of adding silly parts to rifles to make them compliant, and then at the same time allowed the removal of the bullet button is an idiot for purely practical reasons.

That's irrelevant. It's up to the consumer to decide what they're willing to buy.

None of the "silly parts" as you call them are purchased by people who intend to break the law in the future by removing them, and criminals don't hang out here looking for parts to make their illegal guns less illegal!

Registering your guns is like dropping the soap in prison.

I did reg.. some back in early 89 .. Because i still wanted to be able to take them out ... And now, most of the time it becomes a hassle..... NEVER AGAIN
