I just forund this thread... ignore my PM...

I do have a 11.5-inch upper and like others I am not impressed with the performace in semiauto... lucky for me it works great with a normal full stocked lower WITH MY REGISTERED LIGHTNING LINK so that it is a machinegun. I have not had the time to play with it...

ONLY if you register your lower as a SBR or you own a registered Lightning Link or Drop in Auto Sear that you are using in the lower when you gave the stock on... Otherwise, you would be making an illegal Short Barreled Rifle!

thanks for the quick reply so for all intents and purposes its better to pay the fee and get a machine gun and just make it as short as u like instead of the semi auot pistol path

OR... pay the $200 tax and file the Form 1 to make a Short Barreled Rifle...

To buy a rLightning link will cost you about $6500 PLUS the $200 transfer tax and a rDIAS will likely cost you $10,000 or more PLUS the $200 tax stamp...

Machineguns are an expensive way to go compared to SBR!
