Thread: AR15 pending rule changes?

Our AO said the changes were being put off till June/July. She also said that if you already have a newly classed MSSA the fee for getting an E will be waived but the justification for needing one will be the same. Not sure how accurate this is though.

ARs are great for pest control and plinking, to loud to chamber a load for any type of stalking with others though. Nice to shoot but definitely attract a few muppets which is why having them go E will probably be a good thing. I much prefer a semi for hunting.

You can chamber a round pretty quietly, ride the charging handle gently and finish with your FA.

It is probably still also still a reasonable chance that ARs with thumbhole stocks will be able to stay as A cat, but only time will tell... Seems a bit counter-productive to suddenly have a flood of people who can legally add big magazines to their rifles, but logic doesn't always come into things.

Would like to build a dedicated .22AR for plinking/teaching new shooters etc, but will have to see how things play out in the next few months. Not much point building something for the kids to use if it is to suddenly become e-cat.
