Thread: Ar lower

Koshogi

Thanks for this information and link, clears that up nicely.

Still confused as to how an AR lower can be determined if its E endorsed or not when this cannot be determined that it will fit the description of an MSSA until its final assembly.
The mere act of changing out a magazine could be the only difference in this determination.

Will need to check the Act and Regulations for Export of firearm parts.

Cheers
Pete

An endorsed firearm does not need to have all or any of the features that make it a MSSA. You merely have permission/authority to have it with those features, and it does not need to remain in that configuration at all times.

So an endorsed AR which is in "A cat" configuration (thumbhole stock and no other MSSA features) can have a 30rd magazine fitted, which turns it into a MSSA and then once removed, it is no longer a MSSA.

I'm sure several Arms Officers would disagree with that, but that's what's the courts have ruled. Despite what some Police believe they don't interpret the law, the courts do.

Confusing?
