    If a centrefire upper is attached to that lower it then becomes a prohibited firearm
    im curious about this ar lower with a 22lr upper, has it been confirmed by the police?

    Yep Arms officer told me a month or two ago, I thought Yeah-Nah

    Asked him again last week & he still had the same story, can have a free standing pistol grip too, no more E-Cat restrictions

    If you were silly enough to put a big mag & or centrefire upper on it you would be in deep trouble
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

    Have heard the opposite from another arms officer, her words were something along the lines of "if the lower can still accept an AR15 mag then it's a prohibited part no matter what upper it has attached to it" all the dedicated 22lr ar style rifles I have seen on the shelf for sale right now actually have a slightly different mag well that will not accept an ar mag.
    And here lays one of the frustrating things before us right now, different arms officers and police in general have differing interpretations of the law and just generally dont have any kind of clarity around what the hell is going on any more than you or I

    Jordan who shoots at ASRA is modifying ARs with .22 uppers to account for that.
    He fills in the slot at the back of the magwell and then removes the corresponding ridge on the Blackdog type mags. Basically they become the S&W style mags and magwell.

    So normal AR centrefire mags won't fit the lower.

    He also permanently blocks the buffer tube with an alloy plug. No buffer and spring can be inserted and no centrefire BCG can now cycle using that lower.

    That sounds all good, but I reckon it would be best to wait until the next volley is fired at us before doing anything.
    Whats he charging for the service?

    And that is when it is time to ask the police man or woman to show us their qualifications in legal matters.

    Gee and not including firearms owners, arguably the biggest and most experienced, stakeholders in this whole schmozzle, along with a severely limited timeframe wouldn't have anything to do with it?

    Yep, and this is the view of Nick Taylor, Lawyer.
    I'm hoping its in his 12,000 commentary on the Arms Act changes that he has produced for COLFO.
