It is and it's tiny.

You don't have to lie. Don't talk. Also, if you serialize it, you open a fresh can of laws you have to abide by. You are also now subject to direct inspection and stringent laws regarding compliance about transfer, books, etc. You think the first question is grey, you just moved deeper into the cloud. It's kinda like talking to the police. Once you start, you're legally broken. If you don't start talking you're much better off and under much less legal jeapordy.

It's really not that grey. You can sell anything you own. You can't build with the intent to sell (manufacture) without a serial number. If the ATF is after you for an 80% build that was in a private sell, you've got a whole world of other problems. The 80% would be the least of your issues.

Thanks, I had forgotten. However, It's still the same program he started. It's a good one.

Another option is to take Rifle Dynamics class. They provide the kits, parts, and tools and you build a Custom level AK. It's on my bucket list. I've built AK's before but this would be a great experience without the headaches. Cost about the same in the end. https://rifledynamics.com/classes/ If you still wanted to home build after, you would have a huge advantage on knowing what it would take.

You need a hydraulic press and jigs. Other than that, headspacing is the only difficult issue. Forbus is a local guy and been doing it a long time. https://robertforbus.com/Kalashnikova_Tools.htm. That being said, buying a kit and building an AK has become a ridiculously expensive project. You will loose a lot of money over buying even top tier if the shelf AK's.

I went and put a few rounds through it and I'm impressed. Made the Glock 19 feel like a huge cumbersome brick. Accuracy and shoot ability were exceptional. The porting really works.

So I went to the Gun Crew to checkout the much lauded P365. Looking for something smaller than my G19. I had always been a fan of the Kel-Tec PF9 size (except for the trigger) and thought this might work. After looking at the P365, XL, and Xmacro, it was hard to pass up the 17 rnds of the Xmacro. I've never been able to get comfortable on a sub-compact frame (G26, M&P, etc.) without adding grip sleeves and the such, so I usually ended up with the XL or Xmacro length anyway. After holding the XL and Xmacro there wasn't enough difference to go with the XL. Also, a big plus is the Xmacro optic cut. It is a much better redesign from the XL. Initially the Xmacro cost a bit more, but when I started adding in the grip modules, slides, barrels, etc. that I would inevitably get - the Xmacro came out ahead. There aren't a whole lot of holsters or mags available yet, but that is a patience thing. I'm told mags will be available by the first of the year (2023). However, with 2 17rnd mags I'm carrying 35 rnds in a smaller and lighter package than a G26 (15 more rounds) and more rounds than my G19 (4 more rnds) in a much smaller foot print! Not sure I need a whole lot more mags! I've also noted that usually, XL Kydex (molded) holsters will not fit the Xmacro due to the rail redesign. Hoping to get some rounds down range! BTW - The Gun Crew is selling the P365 Tac Pac for considerably less than anywhere else I've seen. In fact cheaper than the stand alone p365! They have a ton of every variety.

I understand, but you're stuck with their options. I prefer the Ace style. There's a bunch of stuff you can fit ont the back with a solid back plate with two drilled and tapped mounting holes. I don't dislike the WBP version, but given a choice, I'd stick with the better and more abundant aftermarket options.

I've added tubes and folding mechanisms to many AK's including pistols. I much prefer a solid back plate and then drill and tap for an adapter. That version seems like a limitation that is unnecessary.

Do the Uzi/MP5 way and use a sling tensioned as a support. Works extremely well. If it wasn't for braces, this is how it's best done. I like the Wilderness Tactical Giles 3 point sling, but a one point sling off the back works well. Google SAS sling method.

It sounds like the Endomag may be the ticket for you. There are 3 for sale in the classifieds for a good price.

On the buffer ... This is the sticky part of a dedicated 9mm AR. It's best to get the longer 9mm dedicated buffer. If not you need to add a few quarters or a spacer to the tube to prevent over travel. The over travel will cause the bolt to slam too hard and cause issues. This does a pretty good job coving it https://blowback9.wordpress.com/2021/08/09/what-9mm-buffer-do-i-need/

I've run a Stern's 9mm Glock adapter in an Anderson lower for some time. I've had many dedicated lowers and have sold them and stuck with the Stern's. I much prefer the Stern mag release to dedicated lowers. LRBHO works well. I've also I used a Spikes adapter and Hahn adapters for Uzi and Colt mags. They work well but mags become an issue and they can be a pain to get right. Stay far away from the Promag and Sylvan adapters. They are cheap for a reason. The Endomags are a great alternative to an adapter block. If I didn't have so many Glock mags, I would have gone that route. https://getstern.com/products/magazine-adapters/ For the upper I've had a FM side charger and have loved it. https://fm-products.com/products/ Ballistically, at about 7.5-8" you've kinda maxed out the 9mm. Longer than that and you gain nothing.

The Korean mags are KCI. I've run them in a variety of things, including Glock, and they run fine. ETS mags work well and you can sometimes find them cheap.

Yes and ... no. Yes, in that the quality and resell are typically there. No, in the fact that most of the quality far exceeds the limits a normal recreational shooter will need or even approach using. It's kinda like saying is a Shelby Cobra Mustang worth it over a regular Mustang.

Didn't get a PM, but I'll send you one and see if you can respond there.

Got this last year and love it! Sadly, I have too many and other more pressing needs. Been to the range twice and runs fantastic. I have the factory RMR plate as well as the C&H Precision RMR plate. The C&H is a much better plate. It has a FO suppressor height front sight black rear. and It comes with a C&G holster and the a Garret Silent Thunder STX 2.0 holster (best holster ever), 5 Walther OEM 15 rnd mags, box, and all original accessories. Optic not included $Sold . Nashville area. Holosun 407-GR2 available for $200 extra. Only trade interest would be a Glock 19 Gen 4/5 with cash.

Small 15.5"/40cm

Bump with a price drop. I just need this out of storage. Parts alone would exceed the price.

Gas prices are speculative. Gas stations buy it from the distributor at the price at the time. The variance comes from when the gas station bought the reserves. Some stations buy up front when prices are low on contract and so pump prices stay lower longer. Some have to buy when they can and buy at the price of the moment. It's no different than any other commodity.

Selling my sons 2003 Dodge Durango SLT. It's 4.7 V8 with 191K miles. Would be a great trailer/boat hauler.
