No gas?

[Wiz-of-Awd]

Seems to me that someone on another forum had a great idea about turning your AW into a single shot weapon. I am not going to discuss the details here
but you can use your imaginations.

If your "AW" has to be cocked after every round its no longer a semi-automatic rifle, thus no need to resister it as a RAW or go featureless.

If single shot is the route of your choosing, I would suggest another complete upper, rather than destroying a perfectly functioning "proper" upper.

A.W.D.

I am building a straight pull bolt action on an AR platform. I am using an upper with a non-reciprocating left side charging handle and a barrel that has never had a gas port drilled. That way it is manufactured as a single shot bolt action.

It won't be as accurate as my true bolt actions, or even my 308 SR (that will magically become an AW - thanks Cal DOJ), but I bought a bunch of blem 80%s, so why not. Out of the other 80%s I am also building two featureless and an SR that will become an AW on it's way to an RAW.

I've experienced excellent accuracy from some AR builds. Maybe not on par with a $10k blueprinted bolt gun, but damn close. I think the true free float barrel design is a big plus. Ruger capitalized on it:

No really, it already exists.

Look into Southern Gun Company's Lever Release AR15. It locks the action back on every shot, and all you have to do is drop the bolt / hit the ping pong paddle between shots. This effectively makes the rifle "single shot" or not semi-auto, because you have to perform an action between shots.

Those lever release rifles look like a lot better alternative to me versus the bullet button reloaded, and you still get to keep all your "evil features".

Post #9 still applies.

I built one after this thread inspired me. I actually like it a lot.

I previously purchased an AR pistol SSE. All they did was take the guts out of a ten round Pmag, put the body in the magwel with a Raddlock screwed all the way down so even the bullet button function wouldn't release the mag. Use the same method for a rifle AR and its single shot.

#1 can't imagine a charging handle was designed to be used thousands of times.

#2 it's a really dumb idea. If you want a bolt action get a bolt action. If you want a boy action that looks like an AR get one designed as a bolt action.

You are going to have to use your guns as they are to fight to keep your rights.

I predict inside of two years, every Calgunner in California will be shooting some sort of variant of this "single shot/straight pull" AR as soon as they ban all semi-auto long guns. Breitbart and a few other websites say the semi auto ban will again be on the 2017 legislative agenda. As to whether or not it makes it out of committee or if Brown signs it, who knows? But it is coming, it's just if it will happen in 2017 or 2018 is the question. I've seen videos of the UK straight pull ARs. Better than having to just sell or turn in your AR, I guess?

Yeah, yeah, Molon Labe. Problem is, if you live in society, they don't have to knock down your door to seize your soon to be illegal in California semi-auto long guns. They can just hold your SS payments, COE, FFL03, CCW, unemployment check, tax returns, CALSTRS/CALPRS hostage until you provide proof that you have disposed of your yucky, icky, evil semi-auto long gun "weapons of war" like your son's Ruger 10/22. Anyone who lives on the grid in California will be easily manipulated through the entitlements, payments, licenses and permits necessary to survive and live in society.

It'll be like shooting fish in the proverbial barrel.

At the risk of having my head torn off, I'm curious how many AR/AK owners would keep their rifle, if they were offered the choice between confiscation and disabling the gas system. Effectively making it a bolt action. If you could have virtually any feature you wanted, but it would no longer be semi-auto.

Just wondering

Ha ha ha. Most people on here are going to make choice #3.

Really? Where else has your coercion technique been successfully implemented in America? I'd be very interested in hearing of other states that have coerced people into turning in guns(or other restricted possessions) by way of linkage to unrelated financial entities, such as SS, taxes, etc. Meanwhile, I'm calling BS on this one.
