Have you thought about running a noveske kx3 on your build?
No, I haven't really considered that option. I've read good things about the design. The only issue would be that it completely eliminates the possibility of running it suppressed because there's no way to attach a suppressor to the kx3 right? I do want to run it suppressed and I'd rather have it permanently suppressed than not at all. I'd probably just run a 14.5 pinned before I ran a kx3 honestly.
How old are you? We're are you going to store your weapon?
Just build an upper with a pinned flash hider/can mount and get a mini can to keep the OAL down, then SBR the gun she. You get to an NFA friendly state.
As for taking a weapon overseas, you can pretty much forget it if its NFA, and the paperwork to take a firearm OCONUS is a pain. And forget it if you go to Japan or Okinawa... Not sure if Korea allows weapons now or not.
Yeah I wouldn't be taking this particular rifle overseas just adding in, that for legal weapons (certain ones) I think they actually can be brought overseas and kept on base.. I'll try and find out.
The other gentleman is correct rifle will be kept in my residence not sure why that matter but anyway.
I did have other points in my post.. Is it recommended to go with a factory built rifle (even if I only cut down the barrel to 14.5 and pinned) or should I do what I can to order the parts and build a custom AR?
Do you need to be 21 to be approved for NFA weapons?
If you get an SBR it is tough to beat a factory gun. The 6933 is an excellent choice.
Thanks for joining the service... you'll love Fairchild. That was my first base, too.
You asked for opinions so you're getting them. Mine is that you're going about this in the most complicated way imaginable. You're getting really good advice in this thread... shoot something normal first (16 or 14.5 w/ perm'd FH, no suppressor) and worry about the master plan after you leave WA.
A statement like this is almost always a bad idea. Simplify. You're reaching too far.
Based on what appears to be your knowledge level... yes. And that wasn't meant to be a jab, it was an honest statement. You've got a lot of great info down cold, but certain gaps in your posts make me think you're still a little "new".
For example, you've mentioned several times about cutting down barrels. Not sure why you think this necessary because you can acquire factory barrels in just about any length to meet your reasonable desires. Specific to your question above... buy a 14.5 from BCM and have them pin their A2X flash hider before shipping. Piece of cake. I'm sure you have the knack to "build" (I don't like that term) your own custom AR, but again, you'd be complicating things for no apparent gain.
Am I right to assume this will be your first actual AR? (Shooting your dad's doesn't count) What is the intended purpose? Chances are the SBR w/ perm'd suppressor combo is not your best starting point. I think you're right to steer back to a factory 16" option.
Good luck.
