Thread: VIDEO - Mod to render AR non-restricted.

Option 2 is to pull off the gas system and make it pump action.

The risk to doing things like this is that they will keep changing the rules until it is illegal again and they say it is worthless and give no compensation

If you have lived all your life being on a salary, never taking any real investment risk (not counting houses here), then just sit back and do nothing, wait for them to either make an offer, or for the knock on the door.

Two points:

You will not get as much for your firearm as you think it is worth either way.

They are not coming for all semi automatics, clearly seen from the order made which targets only external/change-mag semis.

Pretty sure it says "you may not modify these guns"

so its an assault gun now

It might say you may not modify these guns, but that is not actually law yet, and until it is you can do anything you want to your semi. And may still have to hand it in anyways.

It has to be a modification that is not readily/easily/quickly reversible.

Better than:

I couldn't be that crane operator for all the tea in China. I would need therapy for the rest of my days. Oh the humanity!

guys, anyone considering "modifying" firearms to fit the new laws

make a cup of tea, sit down, and spend a minute or 2 thinking about the order of council process. do you REALLY think the government is going to let you keep your modified AR15, or are they simply going to turn around and list a whole bunch of firearms BY MODEL / NAME, and then say - oops sorry, you fucked with it, so now it is worth 80% less... ? here is your (tiny) payout, have a nice day...

Yes, too early to tell before the law is finalised.

Converting a semi to a bolt or pump action, well, suppose it would work, but would it work as well as a "born" bolt gun you can buy for your compensation money?

Of course, if compensation money turns out to be really crap then rendering your semi into a bolt/pump seems less risky and less abhorrent.

Problem is... you will not find out how little they are going to pay you until AFTER you have handed it in.
