Thread: AR15 pending rule changes?

DS Arms / Brownells. According to Sandy @ Brownells when you order they have to specify the Brand for the export permit, so they can't send you what they have but what you ordered and is specified on the paperwork . I am thinking of getting another permit and ordering something different. Already have everything else just being held up with the last bit which were ordered first. Now the rush will effect that too!

Its removed some of the phosphate coating, so most of the BCG is now grey, not black. Also seems to have a rougher surface than before.

That sucks. Just shoot it so it gets covered in carbon. Good luck getting a BCG from anywhere in the US at the moment.


I'm waiting for the DD chromed ones to come back in stock, could be waiting a loooong time.

I'm not too fussed now (was at the time), its really only aged it by a few thousand rounds ahead of everything else.
There is a STI one I can get locally, but not cheap.

They wouldn't ship me a DD BCG - told me it was significant military equipment. The chrome ones are AR15 carriers too, not M16.

Fucks sake. BROWNELLS!! They wouldn't ship me ASC 5rd mags either as they're not DDTC registered or some shit.

I know they're AR15 carriers, I don't mind as I'm going to get an adjustable gas block and I'm a sucker for the chromed look haha. Not going .223 this time...

They're not on the last list that Sandy sent me. Was pissed to find B&C can no longer ship. The chrome ones are pretty nice, a well finished phosphate group is nice too though. .300blk?

Don't blame Brownells it's the US govt's retarded rules to make sure their gear doesn't end up with the Haji's in Afghanistan or what ever.

Nah, too slow from a short barrel and the BC sucks.


I'm going to have to just call someone and see what the hell parts I can actually export.

Well 4 out of 11 killed with a nasty semi auto assult style thingee, that leaves 7 killed with something else. A pistol x1? and a lever action 22lr x6? those pesky .22lr's again. Ban Ban Ban them I say!
But that wont happen, cause the ole 22lr is not fancied in the movies. But those evil black guns???

It should be anodised if it is alloy which means it should be able to be re- anodised

BCG are steel

It sucks balls and you shouldn't need one. My opinion.

People hate spending cash and it has a rep for being hard to get. It shouldn't be, the police should want as many people as possible to get it, increased vetting and security. Their policy is really illogical.

And they can record the details of the actual firearms on their 'database', which you would think was their whole motive anyway.

Got no issues with better security though. I have the safe already, bought it to keep the existing lot safe.

Don't say need. Need doesn't matter.
